Now you can rest easy knowing that the sound of your pedalboard won’t change even a little when passing through PCH, and the headphone amp means you won’t have to ask anyone how you sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou’ll know.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCH has a powerful headphone amplifier onboard, making it easy to monitor or practice listening to the sound of your entire rig or pedalboard in full stereo, no matter the pedal order or the components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnecting the output of your pedalboard to a DI is a very different thing than simply plugging your bass or guitar straight into one. Pedalboards can generate very loud output signals, enough to swamp the input of ordinary direct boxes. PCH is different, partially because it runs on 9VDC, and it has enough headroom to handle powerful incoming audio while remaining pristine, ensuring you always sound your best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo matter what instrument or genre of music you play, if you need to connect unbalanced outputs to a PA, recording interface or flat response speaker system, PCH is the ultimate choice for an absolutely transparent stereo direct interface — and it’s the only one that you can listen to locally via the headphone amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Strymon PCH sitting in front of an acoustic guitar with a pickup.\" height=\"402\" width=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambertech.com.au\/images\/709b8225-8539-4ebd-81a1-9b94ac2ba4b8.jpeg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Strymon PCH sitting on top of a coiled cable next to a four string bass.\" height=\"402\" width=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambertech.com.au\/images\/505710d7-e418-4966-aab3-0329faa503d7.jpeg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Strymon PCH connected to a digital piano.\" height=\"402\" width=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambertech.com.au\/images\/a88d8977-29b1-49ee-b45e-dd5438d1ee7f.jpeg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnections\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the diagrams below to learn about the various ways to use PCH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.strymon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PCH_Site_SetupDiagram_B_Acoustic.png\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Signal flow diagram showing an acoustic instrument or microphone connected to pedals or effects, routed into the Strymon PCH Active Direct Interface, then out in mono or stereo to a mixer\/PA system, headphones, or amplifiers for live performance.\" height=\"286\" width=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ambertech.com.au\/images\/acd28459-f597-4018-93fc-8d364d7de31a.png\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTransparent By Design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCH was designed from the ground up to be sonically transparent, virtually unclippable and bulletproof — it’s the ultimate solution for your pedalboard, keyboard rig or synth setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConstruction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns on 9VDC — internally converted to 24V to be virtually unclippable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard headphone amplifier powerful enough to drive high impedance headphones cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Mic\/Line level operation for the XLR outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefeatable ground lift for the XLR outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefeatable Sum for the Thru outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowered by a custom single-channel internal Ojai power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal supply’s custom transformer provides galvanic isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely flat frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely low total harmonic distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47890346836209,"sku":"SN-PCH","price":489.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/6320\/6321\/files\/PCH_Site_AngleBeauty_Reflection_Trans_V3-1-1024x913.png?v=1773202750","url":"https:\/\/guitarfactory.com.au\/products\/strymon-pch-active-stereo-di-with-headphone-amp","provider":"Guitar Factory Parramatta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
