Add Isolator and instantly get a mute-able, isolated dry output to add to your series pedalboard! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGround Lift and Phase Control: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eou can add an isolation transformer to the Dry (B.out) Output to correct against ground loops and phase issues between amps.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf this is something you find confusing (do I need it or don't I), a good way to look at this is if you want to use 2 amps at a gig, get one transformer.  If you're happy to drop to one amp if you get a ground loop \/ phase issue at a gig, don't get any transformers.  If you're happy to drop to two amps at a gig if you get a ground loop \/ phase issue, get one transformer.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou need \u003cstrong\u003eone less\u003c\/strong\u003e transformer than the amount of amps you want to use while playing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis doesn't necessarily apply to amp simulators as they typically send to a DI which has ground lift built in (double check your DI to make sure).

TX (if transformer added) - Use this to lift the ground on the B output.  This is only needed if you hear a hum in your multi-amp setup.  If you have a ground loop between amps, this button should get rid of it. \u003cbr\u003eb. 180 (if transformer added) - Use this if your two amps are out of phase with each other.  If out of phase, they will most likely sound 'honky' and have a reduced bottom end.  If you unplug one amp and the bottom end returns \/ honk is gone, you are most likely out of phase.  Push this button to correct that. \u003cbr\u003ec.
