An XPND Solution Designed for Modern Pedalboards
In a pedalboard, the balance between power supply, gain, and wiring is often delicate: a more sensitive pedal, a non-isolated power block, or a series connection can cause unwanted noise to appear. The D'Addario XPND galvanic isolator fits within the "power solutions" approach of the XPND range: an accessory dedicated to signal cleanliness, designed to optimize an existing setup without complicating it.
Who Is This Galvanic Isolator For?
This isolator is ideal for guitarists and bassists using a pedalboard combining analog and digital pedals, or any setup where multiple pedals share a series power supply. It is especially suited for musicians playing at high volume, users of digital pedals (often more demanding), as well as those seeking silent power in the studio, rehearsal, or on stage.
Galvanic Isolation: The Simple Step to Clean Up Your Power Supply
The idea is straightforward: instead of replacing your entire power system, you target the pedal generating (or revealing) the noise. By connecting the XPND galvanic isolator between the power source and the noisy pedal, you break unwanted interactions related to ground and potential loops, while maintaining your pedalboard organization.
Eliminating Noise in an Analog + Digital Chain
When analog and digital pedals are connected in series on a non-isolated power supply, noise can occur (buzzing, interference, increased hiss). The XPND isolator is designed to eliminate noise related to this type of coexistence by electrically separating the problematic pedal from the rest of the circuit.
Compatible with Other Series Power Supplies
Although the isolator is part of the XPND ecosystem, it can also be used with other power systems as long as your setup relies on a series connection. This is a practical option to stabilize an existing installation without starting from scratch.

Questions frequently asked
How to connect the D'Addario XPND Pedal Noise Isolator?
The isolator is placed between the power supply and the pedal that generates or reveals noise. This insertion targets a single pedal without altering the overall pedalboard setup.
Is it compatible with a daisy chain power supply?
This model is designed for setups relying on a daisy chain power supply. It can also be used with non-XPND power systems when this type of connection is employed.
Can it reduce noise between analog and digital pedals?
Galvanic isolation electrically separates the targeted pedal from the rest of the circuit. It addresses hum, interference, and hiss that may occur when a non-isolated power supply powers both analog and digital pedals. This format targets the problematic link rather than a full power supply replacement.
For which pedalboard is this isolator suitable?
It is intended for electric guitar use and is suitable for pedalboards combining analog and digital pedals.
Is it a noise gate for guitar?
The product is classified in the Noise Gate category, while its operation is based on galvanic isolation of the power supply. The treatment concerns ground interaction and potential loops related to daisy chain power cabling.
