Subject:foot pedals & more

Hi all,

My name is Ian, I'm a new listmember. Howdy! I play a Roland VK-7 (a
fairly recent acquisition) and I am looking to get some additional
gear for it. At the top of my list:

1. Volume Pedal (stereo, preferably)
2. Leslie foot switch (for the built-in virtual leslie)

Can anybody point me to where to find this stuff? My searching has
turned up very little other than the full PK-5 pedal board, which is
a) out of my budget and b) over my head. :) The volume pedal I'm
sure I can find (suggestions are welcome) but it's the leslie foot
switch that I can't seem to locate. Does such a thing even exist?

Additionally, I'd be interested to hear people's "clone dream rig"
as far as outboard effects - preamps, compressors, distortion, amps,
etc. What would you recommend as the basic must-have set?

Thanks!
Ian Varley

ps - By the way, I saw the Sugarman 3 this past weekend here in
Houston, and they ruled. Their keys player, Adam Scone, is
fantastic, and a big organ proponent all around (check out his site
at http://www.organtone.com/scone.html). I couldn't see which type
of clone he was playing (it wasn't a VK7) but he had a 2nd midi
controller stacked on top for the upper manual, and it worked really
well.
