The Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY True Bypass Switcher is a compact ABY switcher that enables you to either switch between two amplifiers or combine the signal when you want both amps to play at the same time. This assures the guitar signal is routed directly to the amp without any buffering, loading or tone altering circuits.

The Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY True Bypass Switcher is designed for the purist, and is completely passive meaning that there are no tone altering buffers in between the guitar and the amplifier. With the Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY, you get the pure tone from your guitar plugged direct into your amp!

To add versatility, the Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY is also equipped with a separate tuner out. This 'always on' output feeds your tuner for constant monitoring while keeping it out of the signal chain. Should you experience hum and buzz problems due to ground loops, the Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY comes to the rescue with a built-in isolation transformer and ground lift switch. Once engaged, you can toggle the polarity of the second amplifier to ensure both amps play in absolute phase.

In use, the Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY is both simple to use and efficient on stage. When powered by an external 9V supply or pedalboard power brick, full size super-bright LEDs spring to life to provide instant on-stage amplifier status readout. When power is unavailable, the passive audio signal path still works, unaffected. The compact yet ultra-rugged design makes the Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY ideal for pedalboards where space is always at a premium.

The Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY... the most versatile true-bypass switcher made today!

Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY True Bypass Switcher Applications

  • Combining two amps and a tuner - The Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY makes it easy to switch between two amps. With the built-in isolation transformer, hum and buzz caused by ground loops can be eliminated. A separate tuner out keeps this tone altering device out of the main signal path.
  • Using the BigShot ABY to mute your amp - You can use the Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY as a simple mute footswitch for quiet on-stage tuning. Simply depress the AB selector switch and the signal going to the amp is turned off. This keeps the signal going to the tuner output always on, allowing you to tune without bothering others.
  • Using the ABY to switch channels to an amp - The Radial Tonebone BigShot ABY can also be used to switch channels on older vintage amps that do not have remote switching. Simply send the OUT-A and OUT-B to the two channels on your amp and select channels as needed.
