Subject:Re: Which (any?) clonewheels can copy start switch effect

If you really need the "Wheel Brake" effect, maybe you could try a pitch shift/bend effect pedal of some sort? I don't know of anything specific but I suspect there's something out there. It probably wouldn't be worth the trouble but it might work.

Cheers,

I actually used this effect when my band performs Green Eyed Lady... which has this effect on the outro organ.

I will have to check on this.. IF it does, one could simulate the tone wheels slowing down on a C1 by using the pitch bend wheel on an external midi keyboard.
