Link Builder (with full details): http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-efx-detail.htm

§ § What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...) § §
Fully analog. Passive: it works without any electricity.

§ § Are they editable? Via a publisher Mac / PC? § §
No

§ § What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI) § §
1 input, 1 output and 2 parallel loops.

§ § Is it a rack or rack-mount model? § §
No

§ § The general configuration is simple? § §
Yes if we know why we bought this pedal. You plug the guitar in the entry, or other amp in the output. As for the loops, they can be used at our discretion either 1 or the 2 or the 1 and 2.
The two loops differ: the 2 can be transferred when it is activated (use with a tuner).
There is also a switch Ground / Lift which overcomes the problems of masses in handy if your pedal is capricious.

As noted in the Notice of Dbman is true that lack of LEDs indicating if the loops are enabled or not, but for me it is not discriminating especially if it prevents the pedal to be non-passive (and therefore potentially generate noise), but it could be a system of LED with solar, it would have been funky and not worse ... For that, I would not put that 8 / 10

§ § Editing of sounds and effects is easy? § §
Not applicable.

§ § The manual is clear and sufficient? ...§§
Yes

§ § Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough? § §
This pedal is a pedal with a useful purpose is precisely not to act on her! It's true-bypass, which is true of "click-clack" when you press the switch.

§ § Which instruments do you use? § §
In loop 2 I put a Boss TU3, and loop 1 modulation effects (Ibanez FL9, Boss DC3). I plug the pedals after winning.

§ § Which ones do you prefer, you hate? § §
Not Applicable


§ § How long do you use? § §
1 week

§ § What thing do you like most/least about it? § §
Not Applicable The best: The ease of handling, robust and streamlined appearance, whether passive

§ § Did you try many other models before buying it? § §
No no.

§ § What is your opinion about the value for the price? § §
I have not tested the Lehle which are more expensive but, I have not felt like myself have been at value for money

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
With my little experience of the loopers without hesitation.

REVIEW:
Very good on paper, confirmed in practice. Small, passive selectable or 2 loops added up to 100, it costs less expensive than tap class or make an Whammy True-Bypass!;)
