I haven't seen anything exactly like that, except the Yamaha FC-7, which 
just
limits part of it's upper range with a spring and then certain yamaha 
processors
will use the upper range of the cc as a signal to perform the alternate 
action
(like the DG Stomp turning the wah on and off when the FC7 is pressed toe 
down).

What you might be able to do would be to get a wah pedal (with the toe 
switch,
like a Crybaby or Vox) and rewire it inside so that the jacks would give 
you the
output of a linear pot (for your expression pedal function) and a seperate 
output
for the switch (for your delay hold function). That way you'd get both in 
one
nice sturdy package.
