Fx controllers other than foot-rocker

R.G.	Fx controllers other than foot-rocker I thought I'd bring this out to its own header level. Breath controllers, pressure controllers, multi-way foot rockers and guitar mounted LDR's are good. I am reminded of the old Vox semi-hollow guitar that had a real, honest-to-Vox wah mounted inside and had a lever mounted roughly over the bridge to work the wah. In that vein, how about obtaining a cheapo joystick, the kind used for computer games, with two pots inside, and using velcro to mount it just below the bridge and back of the controls? Should enable you to do two different controls by wiggling the stick. If you had two wahs, you'd get the ability to make vowels.
