Since my technique is still not the best I'm thinking of picking up a pedal that would help me create clavinova type effects. Think Superstition by Stievie Wonder. Any ideas? Thanks gang.

Envelope filter or auto-wah is what you want, but it's not going to fix your technique, and you should never buy effects to fix technique.
The instrument you are thinking of is the Hohner "Clavinet", not "Clavinova", which is the Yamaha electric piano for home use.
And no... that's really not the bass part you want. I've been in band where the guitar picks up that bit, but the bass in that song is really pretty simple (big quarter note notes during the clav bit). Someone here posted a great video of just how Stevie created that clav part - 13 tracks? 16 tracks? It was insane.

can an effect actually hide improper technique???? i haven't found that magical device yet....if you do, let me know....
I've played in some trios where I take the clavinet part (w/ EHX bass miscrosynth). Fun, but better with a proper horn band.
BTW, I think this is the video SanDiegoHarry mentions:
