It depends what you want to do with them.  Typically, you'll put the "wah" 
type pedal into the Foot Volume jack, and the sustain pedal into the Foot 
Switch jack.  (You could also use the Foot Controller jack for the wah 
pedal.)  Then go to the CTRL functions using the buttons and rotary switch 
on the AN1x, or AN1xEdit, and set the FV (or FC) controller to the MIDI CC# 
that you want.  Usually, volume is CC#7, expression is CC#11, and CC#6 is 
the data slider.  Then set the FS controller in the same manner; sustain is 
CC#64, portamento is CC#65, soft pedal is CC#66, sostenudo is CC#67.  An 
example is on pg96-97 in the manual.

Actually, you don't need to follow conventions if you're setting the device 
at the other end of the chain to the same CC#.  The only caveat is that if 
you set the CC# to something that has a name on the display, rather than 
'------', it's going to affect the AN1x directly -- this might be good or 
bad, depending on the setup.
