If you feel handy with a soldering iron, you could knock one together yourself, there's a post with some schematics up in the forums somehwere

Hi Kev
Ive just bought one of those radial bigshots, not tried it yet though as ive no amp at the mo!!! its built really well and has a tuner out and mute facility, and a volume control on one channel ( to bring the louder instrument down) and a three position bright switch, its passive, too and quite small, mind you when i had my NS wav4 i used an EBS microbass2 which worked fantastically, a bit more cash though, and maybe more bells and whistles than you need!!! the radial seems great though ill update you soon, they are about £80 i was lucky and got one off old horse murphy , top fella- all the best mate - lee

Thanks for that, I have a reputation for being dangerous with a soldering though, not handy. I had my last one confiscated before I'd even unpacked it.

But many thanks for your time anyway !. :)

Hi Kevin
I was askin about these a few months ago before i sold my NS and a fellow basschetter put me on to a company called "RED ONION" that make A/B pedals at about half the price of the radial,they custom make them too, so you can have tuner outs but two volumes if you want in any type of case, they seem really good, and true bypass too. they were about £40 i think, seemed really good but didnt look as sturdy as the radial ( but with pc pics you cant really tell), google red onion and have a look, try and find my old wanted thread, the guy (really sorry cant remember who it was) was kind enough to leave a link to thier website, good hunting mate - lee

Thats exactly what i thought, i was set to order one (in a nice red colour with two volumes) then the radial came my way at a great price, so had to o for it, the red onion looks like your solution though!!- have a great easter kevin - lee
