[sdiy] suggestions for foot control

[harry bissell]

Ernie Ball made a volume pedal that that used a cord (like the dial cord in
an old analog radio tuner) wrapped around the pot shaft.

It really worked well,,, the only thing that would break would be the 
string.
I copied the idea and added a couple of pulleys to change the rotation
plane to control the speed of an MXR Phase 90... too cool
