Radial BigShot EFX True-Bypass Effects Loop Switcher Pedal

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

The 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. This means that noisy pedals or tone-robbing non-true-bypass pedals can be completely taken out of the signal path when they are not needed.

Better yet, while you are using the EFX loop-A, you can turn on and off a series of pedals with the EFX loop-B to prepare your next sound effect -- and do so without affecting what is happening live. Then, with one foot stomp, a whole chain of pedals can be activated! All of a sudden, your performance becomes seamless and professional -- as if you had a custom made switcher. Since both loops are in series, you can feed loop-A into loop-B to add even more creative options to your tone. Super bright LED indicators turn on to let you know when the loops are activated or are off when on standby mode.

The compact yet ultra rugged design makes the BigShot EFX ideal for pedalboards where space is always at a premium. Furthermore, because the audio path does not require any power to make it work, the EFX can be used with or without a power supply. Simply plug in and begin to play.

The BigShot EFX opens the door to professional pedal management and lets you do it all right at your feet!

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.
