Quick guide from the manual
The D'Addario XPND Pedal Noise Isolator is designed to eliminate unwanted noise in your pedalboard setup. It functions by isolating the power supply from the specific pedal causing the noise. The most critical requirement is to ensure that the pedal being isolated does not exceed the maximum power draw limit of the device.
Product Overview
The device is compact and features simple connectivity:
- Power In: The input port that connects to your power supply.
- Power Out: The output port that connects directly to the noisy pedal.
- Power Indicator Light: A visual indicator showing that the unit is receiving power.
Product Setup
To install the noise isolator, follow these steps:
- Identify the specific pedal in your signal chain that is causing noise.
- Connect your power supply output to the Power In port on the isolator using the included power patch cord.
- Connect the Power Out port of the isolator to the power input of the noisy pedal.
Important Limitations
Maximum Power Draw: The XPND Pedal Noise Isolator has a maximum power draw limit of 500mA. Do not exceed this limit, as it may cause the device to malfunction or fail.
