I sincerely hope not if it's the pedal I'm thinking of: Double bypass loop with some fancypants ground lift switches? For £90? Get tae fuck.

Radial specialise in creating well constructed pedals that do everything you expect from them.

At an utterly extortionate price.

Ooh, wait, this double FX loop with a built in booster is a bargain at £200+!

I found one over here for about 75 bucks, that's not bad considering you don't need to power it which is for me the clincher for purchasing it.

I was looking at their passive Bigshot ABY box or use with my 2-amp setup a while back; while it's on the pricey side for what it is, it does solve a lot of problems that cheaper switchers don't even address (such as ground loops and phasing problems when using 2 amps).

But yeah, they're still pricey. Build like fucking brick shithouses, though.
