Great, but killer on batteries
I've owned this for about 3 months with the dual roadie pedals, and it works great. Downside is that it goes through 9-volt batteries ridiculously quickly, and those puppies are expensive. So I went to Radioshack and got a 9-volt AC to DC power supply and wired that in, now I have no complaints.
Pros: works great, much more reliable than cheaper alternatives
Cons: Uses 9-volt batteries way too quickly, no battery gauge, no external power plug so it must be wired in internally (not too difficult).
Won't work for me
I bought this for my Rock Band 1 Wii drum set and found it doesn't work properly at all. The cable is right and the box seems to be working properly, but my drum set only recognizes random pedal hits. I get about 3 successful hits out of every ten pedal kicks between two pedals. Maybe something is wrong with my drum set, but for now I'm just stuck using one pedal on expert.
