Hammond makes a few different pedal setups,  they feature several great Bass tones built in!

I was interested in the Hammond pedals using built-in tones, but the only way to adjust tones (change tone, adjust it) is on the back of the pedal unit.  I wish they'd offer a little "remote control" unit to go with their pedals!
Or at least have 5 big footswitches to change tones more easily.

Re: the topic, Viscount MIDI pedals - I don't know for sure, but if they send standard / typical MIDI, they should work fine as any MIDI pedals would work.  I have used Roland and Elka pedalboards on Tyros keyboard and they both worked fine once I set up the MIDI receive channels etc.

Best of luck on your pedals project!

I had a Viscount 30 note pedalboard.  I found it very heavy and  clumsy in a domestic environment. I sold the pedalboard for a set of  Nord 27 Keys bass pedals (much lighter in weight and smaller in size) which still enable me to 'heel and toe' when playing

I made a plywood painted sleeve to match my organ set-up which IMO blends in with the house decor
