PCH is an ultra-premium stereo active direct interface with a hidden superpower – an onboard console-quality headphone amplifier. 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. You’ll know.

PCH has a recording console-quality 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.

No 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.

Key Features

  • Defeatable ground lift for the XLR outputs
  • Defeatable Sum for the Thru outputs
  • Internal supply uses a custom transformer for galvanic isolation

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Pedalboards

Pedalboards keep your effects organised, protected and ready to use, whether you have a small home setup or a full live rig. A good board makes it easier to arrange pedals in the right order, manage cables neatly and transport everything without rebuilding your setup each time.

The right pedalboard depends on the number of pedals you use, the size of your power supply and how often you move your gear. Even a simple board can make practice, recording and gigging feel more reliable and professional.
