Does anyone make or did anyone ever make a side-to-side/up-down pedal with a lower profile than a Fender? I have a 12 string Steelrider midi rig that I used to use on my U-12 Sierra but I took it off and put it away when I sold that guitar. Now I play an Excel U-12 and have been asked to revisit the midi thing for a band I play in. The pickup will fit on there with a little doing but the Fender tone/volume pedal that I modified to blend between the midi and steel with it's side-to-side sweep that fit so well under my Sierra,is too high to allow my right knee to clear the undercarrige of the Excel. I looked at putting a lift kit on the Excel but it's not that easy because of the fixed length of the front legs and the arrangement of the 2 vertical levers. I need to find a low ridin' side-to-side/up-down pedal.

Yeah Lee that'd be great to know. But aren't those things kinda stiff? The DeArmond vol pedal I used to have back in the 60s sure was.
