if you do decide to go the diy route then the midibox projects at www.ucapps.de could be just right..

mike has kits at his site..

i think it would be easy to midify one of these game controllers or make a stompswitch controller with one midibox core module (this would support 8 digital switches and 8 analog.. knobs, faders or wah type pedals.. even jack inputs and cheap expression pedals)

best wishes adam
