What is the need of using isolation amplifier?
The main purpose of the isolation amplifier is to electrically separate the circuit which comes before the amplifier from the circuit which comes after the amplifier. So, basically we can say that an isolation amplifier can be used to give ohmic isolation between the output and the input terminals of the amplifier.
What is need of isolation amplifier?
Isolation amplifiers are used in medical instruments to ensure isolation of a patient from power supply leakage current. These amplifiers are also used for amplifying low-level signals in multi-channel applications. They can also eliminate measurement errors caused by ground loops.

There are ways to partially isolate a combo amp but they should NOT be sealed so they will still have a significant volume leak. – Remember your mic setup. When you build your custom iso-cab, you will now obviously need a way to mic your amp cabinet.
When to use a tube amp for tone?
