Just a quick follow-up: Unfortunately, I had to finish my programming and ship the FM9 out for a remote gig. Accordingly, I needed another "quick-fix" and by looking for a spring loaded expression pedal (thank you for the proposal), I stumbled on this life hack: and I may confirm, it actually works (you may need bigger tubes than for a racing bike, though...)!
Nevertheless, I haven't given up on the other idea, since I see quite some potential also in the wireless setup (e.g. having expression pedal(s) placed somewhere else on stage), but it will likely take some time before I get around to deep dive into the topic.
On a side-note, I actually tried to convince Cliff back in the very old Axe-1 days to introduce auto-engage with (also) an auto-time-out function regardless where you park the pedal, but he opted for (only) the current off version....
Anyway, I'll let you know if I make significant progress.
