Are Valvulator V1 Outputs Isolated?

Stage & Studio

Hello! I have an old Valvulator V1 I’ve had for ages, that’s coming out of retirement and going back on a new mini pedal board. I noticed in the manual it suggests you can send outputs 1 & 2 to separate amps. Are they isolated from each other? Or could I get a ground loop if using 2 amps?

I know there’s a ground lift switch, but I don’t know if that ground lifts one or both outs, and even if both do they still share the same ground as each other (probably going to hum), or if they’re both isolated from each other if lifted.

Not the end of the world if not, as I wasn’t originally planning to run to 2 amps, but if this is an isolator too, that would be bloody useful! :grinning:

In case anyone references this post later, the answer was no.

Not to worry though. I seldom use a 2-amp rig, and if I am, I’m likely using my RJM PBC/10 for isolation if I’m taking that much gear.

Hey Pip,

Thanks for coming back. Did Dave get back to you in the end or did you measure it?
