Playing Abacab. Bass is playing with a pick doing all downstrokes. Sounds good. Then they show his feet and he’s playing what appears to be an organ with floor keys that look like large piano keyboards. Doesn’t look like stomp boxes nor boxes on a pedal board. Looks like the feet levers you see under organs. Jason, or anybody have an idea what this is? Don’t remember seeing one like it before. CHECK IT OUT: Genesis - Abacab 1981 Live Video - YouTube

to me like it could be a Moog Taurus Bass Pedal
This is the reissue, Chris Squire has been known to use one too
Ah, 70s tech

Yeah, that does seem to be what it looks like. Don’t remember if I’ve ever seen one before. So just for making MIDI sounds come through the guitar amp? or a totally separate instrument played by the feet? Sounded cool.

That’s a fantastic live recording of that song.
I think that’s Daryl Stuermer on bass.

It would be fun to play with one of these and run it through some pedals just to see what sounds you can make.
I’m sure you could do the same thing in a DAW but I would rather play with all the buttons.
