"Good pedal, bad brain!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will be buying an upgrade set (I have a TD6V and will be buying a 12 and using existing equipment to beef up the 12). If I did have a pedal failure, I would replace it with this model.
Sound
Sound is realistic, except barely audible when you just press the pedal. I thought it was my setup, but seems like it's a flaw in the Roland brain. Unable to increase volume of closing hi-hat.
Features
no features
Ease of Use
Has good feel. Only complaint is the lack of volume on pedal alone. Problem would have to be in the brain, not the pedal.
Quality
I've had it a while. It takes a lot of punishment, but works good as new.
Value
Fair price for a good pedal
Manufacturer Support
no support requested
The Wow Factor
I love my Roland equipment. Only flaw is the hi-hat down sound...
