They're like the bass pedals on an organ. Mike Rutherford used them when he was playing guitar (see his famous bass pedal solo on Genesis Live) and Geddy Lee has used them whilst playing synth.

Taurus is the well-known make - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moog_Taurus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moog_Taurus
