Switchable Mic/Line level operation for the XLR outputs
Defeatable ground lift for the XLR outputs
Defeatable Sum for the Thru outputs
Internal supply uses custom transformer for galvanic isolation
Basically, PCH runs off of a modified internal mini Ojai power supply

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.
