| I've been using a Voce Spin for this effect. It's a great unit, but the problem is that it is foot-controlled on the speed changes. I've worked on this, but my RKR is in the way and I lose volume if I pick up my foot to change during a solo. In my mind it would seem easier to have the actual Hammond-mount switch installed on my steel. Is there any feasible (and cost-effective) way of re-wiring the unit to accept one of these switches? Is there any other effects unit on the market that comes with such a switch? |

Kyle,Is there a space between knee levers where you could mount a switch that would work like a vertical knee lever?Stu

| The H&K Rotosphere has a jack for an external pedal for on/off & fast/slow functions. I made a little two button control box that I velcro right by the changer to give me hand control. Works great. I have no idea if the Voce would be adaptable. If the speed controller is a simple switch then I would think it could be adapted. |

I use a Boss RT-20. I set it under my pac-a-seat with just a few inches sticking out from under the seat. It has the big square boss pedal tops and it is real easy to just move my foot back and hit the on/off and fast/slow switches.

I also use an H & K Rotosphere when I play. It really sounds great on the old gospel songs. I have an old two button Peavey remote switch that works great with the H & K. I position it just to the left of my left foot and am successful in hitting the right button most of the time.  |
