Radial Big Shot EFX Effects Loop Selector Pedal

Eliminate your noisy pedal problem. This loop selector pedal allows you to noislessly insert 2 separate effects loops into your pedal chain.

Overview

The Radial BigShot EFX is a true-bypass effects loop switcher that lets you set up two separate effects loops and insert them into your pedal chain at will. This means that noisy pedals or tone robbing non true-bypass pedals that you 'love to hate' can now be used and completely taken out of the signal path when they are not needed.

Features

- Instant access to two effects loops
- Take noisy pedals out of the signal chain
- Create true-bypass signal path with all pedals
- Compact and rugged for pro pedalboards
- Easy to use and set up BigShot EFX Development

Today, more and more players are turning their attention to ultra-clean tube amps and using effects at the pedalboard to create tonal variations. In theory this works great but as the purest expands his quest for tonal flexibility, he is often caught having to use non-true-bypass pedals that quickly devour the very tone he has worked so hard to achieve.

This is true bypass, so you can use it without power, which is great. I use it because I've had my pedal power come unplugged while playing, and with this, I can just switch to direct-to-amp with a press of a button if that happens or if anything in my pedal chain comes unplugged or malfunctions. I also have a multi-fx pedal with no off switch (you have to press both footswitches at once to bypass it and it's very picky about your timing - sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries to switch it off, and that's no good in a live setting), so I also use this to bypass that pedal. I love that it has two loops, yet it's very compact (it's not too much bigger than a standard Boss pedal, just a bit wider). The ground lift function is a nice touch. This pedal is very durable, rugged, and well-made. It's really expensive for what it is, but thanks to zZounds' great payment plan, the price isn't too much of an issue for me. I'd highly recommend it.

Value

The only issue I have is the price. This should be closer to a $60 or $70 value but it is worth the money.
