A simple and reliable stage tool, by Radial

The Radial BigShot i/o is an instrument selector designed to meet a very practical need: quickly switching between multiple instruments (guitar, bass, keyboard) to the same amp or effects chain without hassle. Here, there are no menus or unnecessary functions: direct operation, ergonomics tailored for live use, and a real focus on durability are prioritized. Its "plug'n play" approach makes it a natural ally for instrument changes between songs or for alternating, for example, between an electric guitar and an acoustic equipped with a pickup or preamp.

Who is the BigShot i/o for, and in what contexts?

This A/B selector is aimed at musicians who play two instruments in the same set and want to keep a clean, quick-to-use pedalboard without risk of errors. In concerts, it avoids on-the-fly unplugging, unnecessary pops, and volume fluctuations that ruin the start of a song. In rehearsals or home studios, it is also very practical for comparing two instruments on the same amp or for switching from bass to guitar without touching cables.

The BigShot i/o is particularly relevant for styles where dynamics and consistent levels are essential (pop, rock, funk, worship, blues), but it remains equally useful in heavier contexts (rock/metal) whenever you need to ensure fast and reliable changes.

Questions frequently asked

Can two guitars be connected to the same amp?

The two 6.35 mm jack inputs allow connecting two instruments to a single 6.35 mm jack output to the amp or effects chain. Input selection is controlled by a footswitch.

How to balance the volume between a guitar and a bass?

Input 2 features a DIM switch and a rear adjustment to attenuate the louder instrument. This allows the level to be matched to Input 1 when switching instruments. The Bright switch compensates for the perceived loss of high frequencies after attenuation.

Does the tuner output work with the Mute mode?

A separate tuner output can receive the signal either continuously or only when Mute is activated.

Is the signal transparent with the BigShot i/o?

The 100% true bypass architecture maintains a direct signal path with no added buffer. The selector is designed to preserve the character of the selected instrument.
