Use a real Pedal with Guitar Hero World Tour (even your destroyer pedal...sort of)

Use a real Pedal with Guitar Hero World Tour (even your destroyer pedal...sort of)
I love rock band and I also love Guitar Hero World Tour. Some of you may have made your own pedal or bought the destroyer pedal for your rock band drum set. Some of you like me may have plugged in your modded/destroyer pedal into the GHWT drum set only to find out that it doesn't work. Why is that? If I'm not mistaken the WT pedal uses a piezo sensor which senses force and it turns into an electric signal. The rock band pedal however uses the reed switch which senses magnetic fields and sends a signal. This instructable will show how you can use a real pedal to work with GHWT. Its very simple and you probably don't need to read on by looking at the picture. But I will continue writing anyways.

Step 1Stuff you will need

You will need the following items for this project:
-Hot Glue Gun (optional but recommended)
-Duct tape or any kind of tape (duct tape is better though)
-piece of paper (optional)
-something straight and hard to mount your GHWT pedal against
-GHWT Pedal
-a real pedal (destroyer pedal*)
-a saw or chain saw* (I'll explain at the end)
*the destroyer/omega/rock pedal can be used however, you will not be able to uses the sensors to activate the bass drum. You will need to insert the beater that it comes with in order for it to work. The beater will hit the back of the GHWT pedal in order for the bass drum to activate.

I made an account here just to let you know I'm very grateful for this idea. I smashed the pressure pad for the pedal, but the sensor was still intact and figured I'd rig this up before I started inquiring for a replacement. This is an extremely resourceful way to fix that. It works amazingly. I have mine set up somewhat permanently though.
