I'm wondering if anyone has ever used bass pedals, such as on a Hammond organ, etc., in order to put the feet to work while the hands are in slack key or standard tuning heaven.

I've seen that Roland makes a couple of models, and was just curious if anyone had ever tried something like that. Since Konabob is pretty far away from Austin, I need to look at alternatives!

Although not a bass, an Ellis Stomp Box may do the trick:

It's easier to ask for forgiveness, than permission!

Thanks for the input, ricdoug. That's not really what I'm looking for; but, it is very interesting!

I am intrigued by the idea but have never tried to put together a system to do it.
Someone said you could take a midi foot controller like the Behringer FCB1010 and hook it to a midi module, either in a keyboard or a computer, and program it as a bass pedal.
