pressure sensitive foot pedal?

Hi,

Is anyone aware of any pressure sensitive midi foot controllers on the market?

I've been working with the trigger finger pads to send cc messages to control paremeters of different affects with great success, however it would be nice to have a pressure sensitive pedal, or small pedal board to do the same.
That way I could play guitar, whilst changing in real-time say the spread of an autopan affect, or the gain on a distortion.

any ideas?

I have the fcb-1010 and that works for on-off messages, but something with pressure sensitive pads at my feet would be killer.

my highly caffeinted response would be:

get a cheap pressure sensitive 3-octave keyboard, assign each octave of keys to a different CC, throw it on the ground and voila! 3 pedals! you could even color-duct-tape each of the 3 octaves together into one mechanism.

interesting. Worth a shot.
I wonder is the action would be too loose(meaning too sensitive)
My giant feet might not be able to acurately control the action.

but hey it's cheap. worth a shot.
