1. Roland GR-55 Guitar Synthesizer with GK-3 Pickup, $899 Value
With decades of experience developing the industry’s hottest guitar synths, Roland’s GR-55 guitar synth and effects processor gives you more incredible tones and features than ever before, making laggy and inaccurate tracking a thing of the past. When Roland designed the GR-55, they totally redeveloped their already leading pitch-detection technology to bring you their fastest guitar synth ever. Pitch, velocity, sustain – the GR-55 doesn’t miss a thing! Using the included GK-3 hex pickup, your guitar can conjure up screaming leads, rich pads, piano accents, and much more.
2. Bose S1 Pro Multi-position PA System with Battery, $649 Value
Fully loaded and weighing in at just 15 pounds, the Bose S1 Pro is the ultimate all-in-one PA for soloists, event speakers, and smaller acts. Whether you tilt it, seat it, or mount it, the Bose S1 Pro delivers rich, even coverage to an entire room, with Auto EQ to eliminate hotspots out on the floor.

The Bose S1 Pro has a convenient carry handle that facilitates speedy load-ins and setups, while a factory-installed Li-ion battery gives you unmatched PA portability.
3. Eventide H9 Max Multi-Effects Pedal, $699 Value

4. Electro-Voice RE20 Dynamic Broadcast Microphone, $449 Value
The Electro-Voice RE20 is the broadcast studio voice-over mic used by pros for years. The RE20 is smooth across a wide spectrum of frequencies, and because it’s a Continuously Variable-D mic, it’s virtually free of bass-boosting “proximity effect” when used close. An easy “bass tilt down” switch corrects spectrum balance for use in long-reach situations or other bass attenuation applications, making it great for acoustic and electric bass, as well as a kick drum. Engineers at Sweetwater agree: the Electro-Voice RE20 is a studio and broadcast standard!
5. Sennheiser XSW-D Instrument Base Set, $319 Value

You also get a convenient mute function on both the transmitter and receiver. The XSW-D Instrument Base Set is supremely elegant — it makes wireless performances effortless while providing the level of quality and reliability that Sennheiser is known for.

The closed-back design gives you superior isolation with minimal bleed, while the circumaural earpads give you cushy comfort during long sessions.
Boasting excellent sound quality and features built for content creation, the Shure MV7 USB microphone has become the mic of choice among Sweetwater’s podcast hosts and content creators. Inspired by the SM7B Broadcast Microphone, the MV7 has a highly directional cardioid pickup pattern that rejects unwanted background noise. Its optimized frequency response flatters voices of all kinds and has a pleasing proximity effect. This USB mic offers both USB and XLR outputs so you can record however you want to.
