Strymon’s commitment to analog engineering, sound design, and developing groundbreaking DSPs has made the company a staple of sonic innovation and the go-to option for inspiring music-making technologies. With the Strymon PCH, you’re not only getting a multimode active DI but also gaining access to a recording-console-grade, stereo headphone amplifier. From pedalboards to full rigs, monitored in stereo or dual-mono configurations, this 2-channel DI has Sweetwater’s audio engineers impressed with the fidelity of the onboard headphone amp, maintaining transparency and never coloring your sound. Plus, the 9-volt DC power is internally converted to 24-volt processing, meaning it’s all but impossible to clip your signal. The ultra-low THD (total harmonic distortion) inherent to the PCH’s design is supplemented by multiple connectivity configurations, with defeatable Ground and Lift options for the 3-pin XLR outputs, selectable Mic- and Line-level operation, and switchable Sum or Stereo use of the two 1/4-inch Thru connections. Add in the near-bulletproof chassis, and the Strymon PCH is a powerhouse that’s perfect for monitoring and practicing with full fidelity in tow.
