When creativity strikes, you have to capture it. And thanks to the PGA57 you can get great guitar tones. Fast.
Designed to deliver a consistently clear and authentic sound. The PGA57 won't radically colour your hard-earned guitar tone, so all those hours spent amp tweaking won't have been wasted. And with its gentle presence boost at 6kHz, it will add a pleasing touch of clarity to your recording.
Thanks to a flat grille design, the PGA57 is perfectly suited to close micing your amp. It can be placed right up against the speaker's ’sweet spot’ to ensure the fullest guitar tone possible. When setting up is this easy, you can focus on what’s important. The music.Expanding on the legacy of the SM57 (the most popular instrument mic in the world), Shure have strived to make iconic sound accessible to everyone. Like its big brother, the PGA57 is rugged, reliable and can handle seriously loud instruments.
It has a slightly more refined low end than the SM57, thanks to a smooth frequency roll off around 200Hz. This is especially handy in tight spots such as home studios, where boomy bass frequencies can play havoc with your recording. With the PGA57 dialing in impressive guitar sounds is straightforward. Just point the mic and go.
The ESI gives you two options for recording electric guitar. You can mic up your amp using the XLR input. Or you can plug your guitar straight into the HI-Z instrument input (along with other instruments like drum machines and synths).
This opens up a world of possibilities. For rhythm guitar parts you might want to capture the full power of your amp with a mic. But for lead parts you might prefer to go straight into the interface from your pedal board. You can even try blending both together to create new, exciting tones.
The ESI MAYA22 Audio Interface doesn't require an external power supply. It sources all its power from your computer, which makes it easy to set up and record anywhere. Just plug in and go.
