To be proper isolated it needs to be AC fed and each output needs to be fed from it's own transformer tap. Then the grounds aren't common and there's only a single common ground in the patch cables.
The fact that thing takes 12V DC makes me suspect it's just a box with 8 x 7809 regulators in it which is something pretty cheap to build and not isolated in terms of grounds, only isolated in terms of voltage regulation
If it's not true I'll send it back. However I remain hopeful!
First of all: seems like a quality piece of kit. Even the packaging is a step up from the usual cheap Chinese gear.
Tested it out on my board tonight. My two digital pedals that hate being daisy chained were absolutely fine running on this, and my Boss PH-2, which doesn't work *unless* its daisy chained also failed to work so these things combine to tell me that if its not *truly* isolated its at least close enough for my purposes.
The one downside is having all the outputs on two sides as pointed out above. However for my home-use purposes its not an issue at all.
Very few supplies around with 500ma on each output at this sort of price
Amazing.
Well packaged, solid build quality.

Mooer Ocean machine
decibel eleven switch dr
and 3 other pedals off of a gigrig isolator plugged into one of the outputs.
Astounding

I’m generally running one high current (Strymon) pedal plus several low current dirt pedals. A boss type psu / daisy chain won’t give enough juice and voodoo lab is overkill.
This could be the perfect solution, ……
Is this the DC8, @unclepsychosis ?
I'm tempted by one for powering a couple of bits in my rack that are currently on their own PSUs.
are the two high output ports isolated? as I'd be putting a smooth hound and digitech drop on them, both of which could do with clean power.
not so worried on the lower voltages as that'll just be tuner, drive and maybe a ditto.
I'd be tempted by the Iso4 as well, albeit the outputs being on both sides is a minor annoyance.
