Here are some techniques for extra modifier options, compared to one source assigned directly to a parameter.
By choosing a stopped LFO as source instead, and the actual controller you want to use as source for LFO duty %, the LFO output can travel the full modifier range instantly or over a small zone within the controller's range.
1. Assign LFO 1B or 2B to the target parameter like wah/pitch control, mix, rate, etc.
2. Go to the LFO's page, select trapezoid waveform and assign a run modifier to stop it. Use any source and put start/mid/end at 0/0/0.
3. Set Output B Phase to 2.8 degrees, make sure depth is 100%.
4. Assign the control source you want to use (like a pedal's External) to LFO Duty %.
Now moving the pedal from 0% to about 3% will make the LFO go from 100% to 0%. You can adjust the duty modifier's offset/scale and mid/end to make the change occur over any portion of the controller range. Increasing B Phase can make it easier to target larger ranges. The change (LFO output moving 100-0%) that occurred over 1-4% duty will shift/expand to 32-99% as you move B Phase toward 88%, which is the maximum value that still produces the full LFO output range.
If you use a square LFO with B Phase at 180 degrees, duty % becomes a min/max toggle with 50% as the switch point.
These presets use the 2 waveforms on a whammy block with External 1 as the controller.

Not intended to sound amazing, just easy to hear how the controller movement translates to some parameter change. More interesting examples might use things like pitch or ADSR as source, and other target parameters.
A few variations:
Get the LFO movement mapped to the full pedal range then assign an IA to toggle LFO depth between 100% and something else like 50%. Now you can choose between a larger or narrower sweep with a fixed center value.
Assign envelope to LFO Depth. A pedal/IA on duty % can control the direction & depth of the envelope's modulation.
Assign an IA to duty, pedal to LFO depth. Use LFO to control whammy in +/- 1 or +/- 2 octave mode. The IA will change the pedal's action between down-only and up-only.
