You could also check out the MAME resources regarding
keyboard hacking.

I have tried Tele, Les paul & Strat types of
guitar & gotten a great
sound with each using Soundblaster Linux &
LADSPA.
If someone more able
than I could devise a footswitch a PC ( or even a
laptop) could make an
awesome FX unit.

Done! Use the analog joystick port. Cut the cable
of any old
joystick and figure out which wires maps to which
pins. Connect the
button wires to ground with a switch in between. I
actually wired
the buttons to a 1/4" TRS jack so I can plug in an
old 2 switch amp
footswitch.
Then hack aseqjoy to send MIDI CCs or notes on
button press events (a
simple change). Unfortunately I don't think you can
map MIDI events
to the "Enable" buttons in jack-rack. Feature
request...
Or send $10 to Kraft and get a "dance pad"
[http://www.kraftbrands.com/activegame/] and you've
already got 10
footswitches, kind of. More aseqjoy hacking
required. I got one of
these things and the joystick driver in RH9 handles
it just fine.
Unfortunately, it's way too big to use effectively.
