Has anyone done this before? If so, did you run into any difficulties?

I've only done carry on, but as long as it's in a road case and you pack the inside securely so the pedals don't have room to move you should be fine. Does the road case have TSA locks? They may want to get in it.

Checking it will far and away be easier than bringing it on. What I recommend doing is trying to find out the TSA's guidelines on it, and seeing what you can do. If you feel too worried about it, I'd just UPS/USPS it over, and let that handle it.
As Heady said, I'd totally make sure you stuff the empty space with newspaper, styrofoam, something like it, and make sure that it's all locked.
With that being said, last summer I brought a giant multi-fx pedal on a plane as a carry-on last June and no one cared at all.
I used to work in IT before 9/11. Back then I used to bring on full size Servers, along with every tool imaginable, and store them in the overhead compartments. It was sight to see me bring large Servers through the x-ray machine and then roll them onto the plane. Before 9/11, nobody in TSA ever blinked an eye. Things are more relaxed again, if it passes through the machine, you should be able to bring it on.
