Instrument distro and DI

PCP

One instrument, three amps, every path isolated.

A one-in three-out guitar splitter (five when using the mult and line driver) featuring transformer isolated guitar level/impedance outputs with phase reverse, ground lift, and level adjust on each output.

what it does
The PCP is really amazing, –it does a lot, but what I really dig is it allows me to use my vintage effects on everything. It is my ultimate studio tool.
Joe Barresi · Tool, Bad Religion, The Melvins
The PCP I use at every stage of recording; it is the best piece of gear I own (except for my ‘72 black Les Paul Custom).
Nick Raskulinecz · Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains

The PCP contains

  • An audiophile direct box and guitar cable line driver designed with the same circuit topology as the Little Labs Multi Z DI.
  • Three professional-level to guitar impedance-level interfaces for re-amping.

Where it sits in the chain

Little Labs draws these by hand. They are kept on a white ground here because that is how they read.
