Subject:instantaneous leslie spin control

Greetin's, Lon here with another question of great importance ;>

The other day I discovered the String Cheese Incident and the very subtle
but wonderful B-3 sound on most of their tracks (Kyle Hollingsworth). Upon
closer listening to the organ on their "Make a Joyful Sound", it appears
that the leslie spins up and down almost instantly, as if he had total speed
control, not just slow, fast, spin up and spin down.

Come to think of it, some of Bill Payne's recordings with Little Feat have
this instant rev feature, with clearly a B-3 sound.

So there must be a total variable speed control pedal/control made for a B-3
that these guys are using. Anybody know what this is and how I get one?
While I might not be able to use it live (since both feet are already busy,
it could be a gas in the studio.

BTW, I don't think it is a motion-sound gas pedal ... the credits in the
recording notes cite a B-3 ... unless it is adaptable to a leslie.

Thoughts/know how would be sincerely appreciated.
