Switch Between Two Effects Loops on the Fly

The Radial BigShot EFX effects loop switcher not only gives you the ability to set up and use two separate effects loops, but it also lets you give all of your pedals true-bypass switching capability. Simply tap the footswitch for the loop you want to bring into the signal chain, and all of those effects are instantly engaged. You can even run both loops simultaneously or none at all. A favorite feature among Sweetwater players is the ability to set up Loop 2 as a mute. The BigShot EFX allows you to take advantage of your favorite effects easily and without compromise.

  • Dual effects loop switching pedal
  • Instant access to 2 effects loops via 2 onboard switches
  • Create true-bypass signal path with all pedals
  • Compact and rugged for pro pedalboards
  • Use Loop 2 as a signal mute
  • Eliminate ground loop noise with 2 lift switches
  • Easy to use and set up
The Radial BigShot EFX makes your effects work even better.

Idk why more people aren’t hip to bypass loops

Don't want to try and tapdance multiple pedals at once? Well here ya go!
Rated 5/5

A small, simple, & brilliant addition to one’s pedalboard

Radial is a company that always makes great products. This pedal is simple, just a switcher that sends two signals out for a pair of effects loops. And it"s perfectly made. Does the job exactly as needed. And it"s affordable. Again, it"s a simple device, and absolutely dependable. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs only a pair of switchable FX loops.

Just the right size (for people who wear shoes)

This is not the smallest loop switcher out there (although it's pretty small) - but it is a size that allows people who wear shoes bigger than ballet slippers to operate it. The lights are not overly bright, and the options of pass through, all on, or one or the other is nice. Stout enough...

Radial Effects Loop Switcher

Works great. Just what I needed to switch on and off a pedal that has a bad switch that can't be repaired. I turn the bad pedal on, and use the Radial to turn the pedal on and off. The only thing I didn't like was how close the send and return jacks are. It took me some time,and a variety of different patch cords, to make it fit my board. But I made it work. I use loop two for my tuner. Overall I'm happy.

Unique uses

I got this so I could run my EHX "9" pedals (C9,MEL9) with a dedicated compression pedal set just for those pedals (fast attack & release/modest compression), which sounds like crap when the 9's are off. NowI don't have to switch the EHX pedals on and off AND fiddle with the compression pedal too. Plus I'm able to place the EHX pedals on a stand at waist heighth and adjust the settings and use the BIGSHOT footswitch to turn 'em on and off. The pedal is dead silent and does not affect quality of signal. My only complaint would be that I need to hit both switches simultaneously to switch from one loop to the other, or you wind up with both pedal boards running simultaneously. Would have preferred an "Either/Or" switching set-up.
