The BigShot SW2 Slingshot is a 2-channel universal remote control footswitch that can be used to replace two amplifier foot switches and combine their main functions with a single pedal. This is of primary importance for pedalboard users that always find themselves short on space. Both latching and pulse outputs are supported enabling the SW2 to control both older amps with contact closure style channel switching and newer amps with electronic pulse sensing. These options are augmented by the 'LINK' function that can gang both remote commands onto either foot switch. This could, for instance, switch both amp channels in a stereo rig from a clean rhythm to a distorted lead channel with one single foot stomp. No tap dancing!For Tonebone pedal users, the SW2 provides a compact Slingshot™ remote switching controller that can be used to remotely switch amp heads ( Headbone ) or speaker cabinets ( Cabbone ). When combined with guitar amps, the switching capabilities are huge!BigShot SW2 - switching channels and reverb: Each of the SW2's footswitches can be set to remotely switch any amp's on-board features such as reverb, tremolo or amp channels.BigShot SW2 Development When Radial introduced the Slingshot concept, a new approach to amp and pedal switching came to be. Using the tried and true switching systems that guitar amps have employed for years, Slingshot combines the simplicity of regular 1/4" guitar cable interconnect with on-off functionality of a basic MIDI system albeit without the pre-required electronic degree.From a controller like the Tonebone Loopbone, suddenly you can engage several effects pedals and change channels on your amp with a single foot stomp. With the Headbone in tow, you could remotely switch heads with any footswitch. With Cabbone, you could switch amp channels and speaker cabinets with one tap.The SW2 Switchbone represents a natural evolution by providing a compact remote control with two footswitches that now lets you control either Tonebones or amps from a single device. And by adding the latch function, now multiple devices can snap' into action with a single foot stomp.Obviously, to do all of these tricks, the SW2 is not just a simple low-cost mechanical foot switch. Beneath the surface, complex electronics are employed to make the SW2's seemingly simple functions look easy. This is why the SW2 can be a stand alone device and needs to be powered with a 9V supply to perform its tasks. But for those that want the power of a custom made switcher, the BigShot SW2 provides incredible value.Using the BigShot SW2 The BigShot SW2 Slingshot is straight forward, but does require some technical understanding in effort to get the most out of it. Begin by connecting a standard Boss style 9 to 12V power supply. Simply connecting the power supply turns the unit on.Following the block diagram, you can see that each remote output is equipped with two switches: The 'OPEN' and 'CLOSED'
