Features:

input... outputs ... tuner out... no power... no leds... works like a dream. built like a tank and my amps play together so well.

Quality:

this is a ten on so many levels. for 80 dollars its a steal. THANK YOU RADIAL YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

Value:

i was using just to pick amps on the fly when i wanted to use one. now i use a clean amp and dirty amp and my sound is everything i wanted. this is a big part of my sound and i could be happier. if your looking for something cheap. you can get the morley aby but i decided to spring the extra cost and i have never looked back. not saying morley is bad but for more features and great tone i recommend this.

Overall:

overall... this thing is in my chain til the day i decide to use one amp again haha...

Surpassed ALL Expectations!!

| Review By: Philip Maltais | 1 month, 1 day ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I bought the Big Shot to run two amps at the same time. What I discovered was that using the phase switch on this unit allowed me to operate both channels of my '74 Musicman 65 watt 210 combo at the same time and acheive new tones that I never was able to get on eith side of this amp. Once I got  the switchs set to the right position it just seemed to sing a whole new song. I now split between both sides of the Musicman amp and run my Marshall JCM 800 212 combo from the tuner output. I just placed the tuner with a mute capability before the unit and all is well....

Quality:

Solid unit in a metal case. Rugged and will stand up to my big stomp. It could use a couple LEDs to show what channel is active or when they are combined. But this would require a power circuit and is really not necessary but could be useful.

Value:

Short $ for the versitility I gained with my setup.

Overall:

If you don't have one of these in your pedel board get one. I have been playing for over 40 years and it opened up my eyes and ears to new possibilities. I have tried other ABY's and was never impressed and rather turned off until Radial got it right. Nice Job guys!!

You won't be disappointed in this switcher... So simple to use!Incredibly engineered product, and built rock solid. Passive switch, so no batteries/power supply are needed. I use this to mute my guitar output while I'm tuning since I don't use a volume pedal. Incredibly versatile, too, if you want to switch between amps.
