The Walrus Canvas Nano Line Isolator (LI) is a compact line isolator designed to be an ideal fit for busy pedalboards or fly rigs where space is limited. It removes resistance between you and your audience, giving you a pristine sonic foundation to build your masterpiece on. From houses of worship to the dive bar downtown, Canvas Nano is built to be the performance tool that goes wherever you are making your music.

Canvas Nano is a passive device that converts your unbalanced signal into a balanced signal for interfacing properly with your recording interface or mixer at front-of-house. If you're using an amp-in-a-box (DSP Guitar Rig), like our ACS1, or running an active acoustic or active bass guitar direct, then the Canvas Nano is your bridge to the front-of-house. The signal will remain at full volume and be converted to a balanced signal via the transformer connected to the XLR output. Less preamp gain will be required in LI mode. The Canvas Nano packs everything you need from a LI into a compact enclosure designed to look great right on top of your board.

You are the artist. Your sound is the paint, and this is your canvas.

DI or LI?

Not sure if you need a DI or LI? When deciding between DI or LI, check with the manufacturer of your gear to find the output impedance of the device you want to interface with.

For a general guide:
High Impedance (above 1kO), Use a DI
Low Impedance (below 1kO), Use a LI
