This is a loop in case of true bypass. True bypass means when the loop is not activated, the input signal passes directly through the pedal without being modified. Many pedals (BOSS example are not true bypass, and therefore potentially the signal is changed when the pedal is not activated, which is a source of buzz, breath, loss of signal and other disagreements, especially with Aging pedal or when multiple pedals are chained).

The BigShot allows thus to activate the effects in the selected loop, and not through the effects loop if not selected. From there, sort uses are possible:
1 - avoid the hum / general breath at rest
2 - Enable multiple effects
3 - turn off the effect a bit noisy at rest (breath, buzzz, ...) when not in use and the disruption of other effects.


Two switches, there is no simpler.

The problem is, however, we do not know if a loop is enabled or not. And if you're a little dizzy or clumsy, it was soon having a loop on or off without knowing it. It would not cost much to add an LED Radial Loop! That's what I did: I was tired to begin with the distal parts cleans and flanger or reverse activated! Moreover, in concert, as the return that has sound, it does not always perceives the disaster now! it is well worth a "poor".

Because it's true bypass, and the pedal does nothing for her and that is exactly what he asks is always very well!

Ideal tool for those who use multiple effects simultaneously, or have problems of buzz on a couple of pedals to isolate the rest.

I modified mine with two LEDs that can catch the defect mentioned above. To keep the true bypass, I also changed the original switches, which lacked a contact. All walks with a 9 volt battery lasts forever because LEDs consume very little. I did not have to change the case (except the holes for LEDs) because there was enough room inside.

So, I put 10 to this section, since the defect is corrected! (Otherwise I would have put 4 because frankly, the lack of indication is really annoying).
