Win an Earthworks SR20 Microphone

Earthworks SR20 Microphone Giveaway
For those of you who won’t accept the “good enough” sound of a piezo pickup, here’s a microphone giveaway for you.

From Acoustic Guitar magazine, enter to win an Earthworks SR20 microphone. This mic sounds great on acoustic guitar, but was also designed to sound amazing with vocals, drums, piano, and more. The SR20 retails for $899, and I think it would be a welcome addition to anyone’s mic locker!

Win a Radial Engineering JDX Reactor Guitar Amp Direct Box

Radial JDX Direct Box Giveaway
ProAudio.com has just launched the second giveaway in their Month of Radial promotion. This week, you have a chance to win a Radial Engineering JDX Reactor Guitar Amp Direct Box. Unlike most direct boxes, the JDX is designed specifically for guitar, and is meant to be inserted between a head and cabinet, pulling tone from both.

Win a Radial Engineering H-AMP Headphone Driver

Radial Engineering H-AMP Headphone Driver
ProAudio.com and Radial Engineering have teamed up for multiple giveaways in September, all to be featured in ProAudio’s “Month of Radial.”

This week, you have a chance to win a Radial H-AMP Headphone Driver. The H-AMP is a seriously handy tool for live gigs or in the studio. If your desired headphone mix is the same as your main or wedge monitor signal, just drive a speaker level signal into the H-AMP. It will convert to headphone level, and provide two musicians with their own monitor mix level. See? Very useful!

Win a Sennheiser Mötley Crüe Microphone

Motley Crue Microphone
I have a few issues with this microphone giveaway.

I used to be a big Crüe fan back in the day, but sometimes it’s just time to hang it up. Their new single is called “SEX.” That just drips of a “we’re old time rockers who want the kids to like us again” attitude. Then, their tour with KISS is just called THE TOUR. Again… pretty lame. As if this is the most important tour in rock history. But fine. Whatever.

Win a PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL USB Audio Interface

PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL
Whether you’re just getting started with home recording, or you work in a studio, the PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL USB audio interface would be a welcome addition to your rack. And soon one lucky person will win a free AudioBox from PreSonus.

The contest entry is easy, but there’s a catch! This is a photo sweepstakes (with a random winner), and the photo must include you with a piece of PreSonus gear, so you must own or have access to a PreSonus product to enter.

Win a PreSonus Digital Mixer & DAW Software

PreSonus Digital Mixer
Do you know what I like about Sweetwater Sound’s monthly giveaways? The prizes are usually so strong that they would be game changers for my music. I mean…what would I do with a PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 24-channel digital mixer and FireWire recording interface plus a copy of their Studio One 2 Professional DAW software? I’d have a killer home studio that would churn out hit after hit after million-selling hit. I’m sure of it.

Win an Earthworks QTC30 or WL40V Microphone

Earthworks Microphone Giveaway

This time they’ve teamed up with Front End Audio, and there will be two winners!

Which would you choose?

Win an Electro-Harmonix SuperEgo Synth Engine Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Super Ego Pedal Giveaway
Fire up the bong and shut the basement door! The Electro-Harmonix SuperEgo Synth Engine is one of those pedals that can steal a night away from you without realizing it.

The SuperEgo makes your guitar sound like a synth, and can capture and hold notes or chords, perform fluid glissandos and create oscillator like synthesizer effects. It enables the player to stack or layer sounds, create infinite sustain, even tweak attack and decay. The Superego’s effects loop also lets a musician insert effects into the wet signal.
