Wish Assignable rotary control

I've been scouring the interwebs for a MIDI knob controller in a compact pedal format, to sit next to my AX8. Disaster Area used to make one, but it is discontinued and difficult to find used. I just want 5 or 6 pedal-style knobs (but the knobs on the AX8 top panel sure would be perfect).
I briefly considered DIY with an Arduino and a bunch of pots. Or DIY analog, where I take up 2-3 of the pedal ports for knobs instead of pedals.

If @MorningstarFX would consider building a knobby companion to the MC6, I would be ALL over it.

I just keep coming back to the idea that the knobs are sitting right there...unused for the most part...depth and presence. I hate the idea of adding an outboard physical editor when those 2 little perfect rotary encoders are built into the AX8. The whole point of this for me is a sort of pack n go gig / studio solution.
 
Ok, it seems my previous post has been ignored so I'll try to be more clear:
Do you want a compact midi controller with 8 knobs which can control most of ax8 parameters?
Buy a raspberry pi and one of these https://www.music-group.com/Categor...udio/Desktop-Controllers/X-TOUCH-MINI/p/P0B3M

Then install this app on the raspberry http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threa...to-pilot-the-axe-fx.68598/page-5#post-1461127

If that had no buttons, looked like it belonged on a pedalboard, and didn't require Raspberry PI, I'd go for it. Something like http://www.disasterareaamps.com/shop/dmc-5k-2

Yeah, but consider that the app make it work almost as a Rac12, you can control most parameters of the ax8/axe-fx and the buttons would be programmed to change page or fx. The app will work with any midi controller though.
And no need to program modifiers inside the Ax, all is done via sysex.
I said raspberry but it also works on Linux, Mac and (soon) windows
