The BigShot SW2 by Radial is a two-channel universal remote footswitch designed to replace amplifier foot switches and combine their main functions with a single pedal. It is suitable for use with amplifiers, rackmount effects, or any device with a footswitch input. The SW2 can also be used to remotely control Radial Tonebone switchers that feature a Slingshot input, such as the Headbone and Cabbone.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Connections: 2 x ¼” phone outputs
- Switching: Active relays with latching & pulse modes
- Power requirement: 9 Volt DC, center negative
- Current draw: 40mA max with both LEDs on
- Size: 3” x 3” x 2”
- Latching or pulse output for compatibility with old and new amps
- Link function to control two devices with one foot-stomp
- Switches other Radial Slingshot equipped devices
- Remote switching integrated into Tonebone pedals through Slingshot feature
- Compact and pedalboard-friendly design
The SW2 features two footswitches (R1 & R2) that work independently or can be linked together. The LINK switch allows either footswitch to act as a master switch that controls both outputs. The LATCH/PULSE switch selects the type of control signal going to the amp, supporting both latch type control circuits and electronic pulse sensing amps. The OPEN/CLOSED switch toggles the relay switching between 'normally open' or 'normally closed' status to match the amp's design.
The SW2 can be used in various setups, including controlling channel switching and effect bypass on amplifiers, controlling two amps simultaneously, or controlling an amp and another device such as a rackmount effect. When combined with guitar amps, the switching capabilities are extensive.
Overall, the BigShot SW2 is a versatile and compact remote switcher suitable for a wide range of applications, offering flexibility and convenience for users seeking to streamline their setup and control multiple devices with ease.
