Hey, thanks for the verification that I'd read the spec correctly.  But 
I'd say,
given the current state of controllers out there, that the original 
solution
you hit upon is the most compatible, since most pedals can be set to 
manipulate
Pitch Wheel.  I'd wonder if there are any pedals other than the ones that 
we've
mentioned that will even merely transmit proper MSB/LSB Mod Wheel, rather 
than
dumbing it down to MSB only.

I heard you there!  The sad thing is that I've actually gone through and 
done
some design work for a MIDI widget that could fairly easily incorporate
something like this.  Problem is, while I can put stuff together on paper, 
I
know crap about programming embedded systems or, for that matter, doing
hardware manufacture in general.  I've played at fabricating some boutique
stompbox 'ideas', but that's a fur piece from what would be required for 
the
circuit of a data project like the one I've in mind.  Ah well....  :P
