As far as I know the atari type joysticks were usually digitally 
switched, i.e. you'd need circuitry to get an analog output. The 
acorn BBC used an analog joystick. As this used passive pots it could 
conceivably be used for the foot switch and no circuitry required 
except for perhaps some resistors for the offset.

I gave mine away just a few months ago :-( so I can't check.
