BigShot i/o™ True Bypass Instrument Selector

Part No. R800 7212

  • Toggle between two instruments with a single foot stomp
  • Adjustable volume control to match instrument levels
  • Separate tuner output and mute switch with LEDs
  • Load compensation 'bright switch' for long cables
The Radial BigShot i/o is an easy to use instrument selector that lets you quickly transition between any two instruments and send the output signal to your amp. Because the i/o is 100% true-bypass, it addresses the needs of the most demanding purist.

To enhance functionality, input-B is equipped with a volume control that lets you reduce the input sensitivity of the louder instrument so that the two instrument output levels match. Simply connect the louder of your two instruments to input-B and set the level to suit. When passive instruments are used, a unique 3-position 'bright switch' lets you compensate for high frequency loss. The BigShot i/o is also equipped with a separate tuner output. With a simple foot stomp, the sound going to the amp is muted and diverted to the tuner for quiet on-stage adjustments. Super-bright LED indicators provide instant status for the input select and mute functions.

Compact, extremely rugged and 100% passive, the BigShot i/o does not require any powering to make it work other than for the LEDs. This means that if you forget your power supply or simply do not want to use it, the audio will pass without the LED indicators. This makes it ideal for all types of pedalboards and any size setup!

The BigShot i/o... the perfect instrument selector for stage use.

Using the i/o with two electric guitars
Switching between a Strat® and a Les Paul® is easy! Plug the two guitars into the i/o and hit the toggle switch to select. Tame down the Les Paul using the input-B level control. Connect your tuner for quiet onstage tuning using the mute footswitch.		 Using the i/o with passive and active bass
Output levels vary dramatically between an active bass and a passive one making it difficult to switch without adjusting the amp level. Solve the problem by connecting your passive bass to input-1 and your high output active bass to input-2. Use the level control to match.		 Switching between acoustic and electric guitars
Multi-instrumentalists are often forced to switch between electric and acoustic guitars or between other instruments. The BigShot i/o makes it easy! Use input-1 for the electric and lower the sensitivity on input-2 for your acoustic to balance the signals.

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

STOCK AVAILABILITY

The availability of stock is communicated via the indicator of each product listing page.

    • Available - means that reasonable stock is in our warehouse, ready for immediate shipment.
    • Limited Stock - means that we have only a small number of items in stock.
    • Out of Stock - means this item is currently unavailable for immediate shipment - orders placed for "Out of Stock" items will be fulfilled as soon as replacement stock arrives.
    • Special Order – These products are not generally kept in stock in New Zealand. Lead times vary depending on country of origin, manufacturer stock levels, factory production schedules, and/or incoming shipment transit times. Please contact us for an estimated lead time.
    • In Stock at Supplier - This status indicates the item is not currently in our New Zealand warehouse, but is available from our Australian supplier. This means the product can be sourced and delivered faster than a standard 'Out of Stock' item. The ETA will generally be shorter, making it a viable alternative to waiting for restock from international suppliers.
