VIA Dual Line Isolator
$210.00
Built with the modern guitar player in mind, the VIA Dual Line Isolator converts your 1/4 inch unbalanced or balanced input to XLR balanced output making it the perfect end-of-chain companion to pedalboards with the most popular amp and cab pedals. Think of the VIA as the ideal interface to enhance your rig with stereo XLR, 1/4 inch thru, and headphones outputs, as well as a handy AUX input connected to the headphones output for those quiet practice times.
It’s pretty clear by now that many amp pedals and sims are giving us the tones we love with all the conveniences of small form factor enclosures. This new era of amp tones is here to stay, and that means line isolators — not direct boxes — are the interface of choice for pedals such as the Walrus ASC1, UAFX pedals, Strymon Iridium, IK TONEX, and others. Unlike direct boxes, the VIA Dual Line Isolator retains the level and integrity of your signal while converting it from unbalanced to balanced through its passive transformer. It sits comfortably on your board with a classic 125B enclosure and gives your rig the added flexibility and control you need for Friday night gigs or Sunday morning services.
