The BigShot EFX by Radial Engineering is a true-bypass effects pedal switcher designed to facilitate the setup of two separate effects loops and their insertion into the pedal chain as needed. It offers the following technical specifications and features:
- Professional pedal management on stage: The BigShot EFX allows the user to take an entire chain of effects pedals in or out of the signal path with a single footswitch, providing a streamlined way to manage multiple pedals on stage.
- Two effects loops: The device provides two effects loops that can be individually activated or run simultaneously, with Loop-1 feeding Loop-2 for additional creative options.
- True-bypass functionality: Each loop is true-bypass, enabling the user to keep noisy or tone-robbing pedals out of the signal path when they are not needed.
- LED indicators: The BigShot EFX features LEDs that indicate which effects loops are active, providing visual feedback to the user.
- Applications: The device can be used in various applications, such as managing two pedal chains, using one loop and a tuner to reduce noise and loading on pickups, or as an ABY amp switcher for older amps that do not have channel switching.
