My favorite on snare and guitar

This tough little guy is as rugged as the legendary SM57, but it's a step up sound wise. The transients are faster and the sound cleaner. There's nothing wrong with the SM57 (I have 3), but the Beta57 is an improvement and fantastic on snare and guitar cabs, where I feel the SM57 is merely acceptable. For just a little more, you can get a mic that smokes the SM57.

‘‘ WOW!!! I WON, I WON. Gearnuts kicks a**, I can't believe I actually won the January giveaway, a beautiful EG-1 Traveler Guitar. Got it fast, unpacked it and after very little tuning it played great, I love it and need it, Perfect. Thanks again I am a repeat customer and will be getting a Gibson real soon from you. ’’ – Earl Snyder, Miami, FL

Earl, you're an inspiration to everyone who says they never win anything! (Except the Crew here at GearNuts, because we're not ALLOWED to win any of our contests. Sigh.)
