I wouldn't get too excited about having Joey's name on it. Just means he's getting paid by this company and as I said he's been with a few. Not to say its not a good instrument, I'm just not familiar with it. As far as Bass Pedals a number of the "Clones" will allow the use of pedals and a second manuel so you can have a mini B.
I did it with my Roland PK5's hooked into my VK7, then the Hammond XK3, and now my Roland VR700.
Good luck with your new board.
