Yeah. Only way to do it on the cheap is salvaging and wiring it up with an Arduino, etc.

This was my plan as well. Except I was just going to buy an enormous pedal enclosure and fill it with the required switches and arduino stuff.

I have the shell of a couple bass pedals if anyone is looking to put one together. One in decent, one in poor condition.

I stole the synth guts for something else.

If you’re going to do that you should really check out Axoloti.

The 12-Step seems like the nicest off the shelf option and affordable, but it's not a bad DIY project either.

I built one myself with arcade buttons, scrap plywood, and a midicpu board from here: http://www.highlyliquid.com/.
