The Radial BigShot I/O True Bypass Instrument Selector is an easy-to-use instrument selector that lets you quickly transition between any two instruments, while balancing the levels between them and feeding the output to your amplifier.
The BigShot i/o allows you to switch between instruments on stage without pops through your amp or the need to adjust levels, while featuring 100% true-bypass for the most demanding purist. Input-2 is equipped with a volume control that lets you reduce the input sensitivity of the louder instrument so that the levels are matched when played through your amplifier. When passive instruments are used, a unique three-position Bright switch lets you compensate for instruments that lack shine in the high frequencies. 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.

Radial BigShot I/O True Bypass Instrument Selector Applications
- 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. Connect your tuner for quiet onstage tuning using the mute footswitch.
- Using the I/O with passive and active bass - Output levels can vary dramatically between an active bass and a passive one. Connect your traditional fender to input-1 and your active bass to input-2. Turn on the DIM control and reduce the level on input-2 to compensate.
- Switching between acoustic and electric guitars - Multi instrumentalists are often forced to switch between electric and acoustic guitars. The Radial Tonebone 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.
