The Yamaha pedal (uh, "foot controller") has a tip-ring-sleeve plug
that's wired correctly for plugging into the front jack of an M400:

tip: audio in (pot cw)
ring: audio out (pot wiper)
sleeve: ground (pot ccw)

The stock plug on the Yamaha pedal is an inexpensive molded plug, so
you might want to upgrade that at some point with a Switchcraft with a
heat-shrink strain relief. The rest of the pedal is pretty well
constructed.
