Need something like Radial Big Shot but NO select switch

Post by Gary Reed »

I have the Radial Big Shot.
Works great with a keyboard and a pedal steel guitar going to one one amp, but it's lacking one feature.
I need to to have the keyboard and steel guitar active at the same time. I need to get rid of the 'select' switch. Full Time 'Y'
Any suggestions?

The Radial Big Shot units I'm seeing online have a Select switch and a Both switch. I guess yours doesn't have the "both"?
Look at this Morley product - selector or splitter or mixer - with volume controls, an actual mixer.http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie ... d-switcher

I should have been more clear. I/m using the Big Shot I/O.
Thanks for that Morley link. I'll check it out

I'm looking for the same thing. I called Radial and they said they had nothing that would do what I'm looking for...

Or. .a Vegas 400 will give you two separate amp channels so you don't have impedance mismatches. I would run the steel in channel 2... all my steels sound better in that channel. .

350 bucks less value of your current amp should get you into a Vegas.

I also see on another thread that a RhythmMaster would be interesting too.

Here is an active mixer (on board buffer). Looks pretty good . There are input level controls on there somewhere.
