Recap: Guitar Summit 2025
With over 500 exhibiting brands, more than 100 workshops on seven stages, and concerts with top-class artists from all over the world, it’s always an electric event to be a part of.
The largest guitar show in Europe, Guitar Summit, took over Mannheim, Germany once again and we were excited to be there. With over 500 exhibiting brands, more than 100 workshops on seven stages, and concerts with top-class artists from all over the world, it’s always an electric event to be a part of. Yet more importantly, it was the perfect opportunity for Focusrite to connect with the international guitar and bass community.
The event opened on 26th September, a day after the release of Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition, and we were proud to celebrate our 40 year anniversary with everyone in attendance and shout about our story in the world of audio engineering.
The Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition reimagines our most popular 4th-Gen Scarlett interface with a classic ISA-blue chassis that recalls the renowned channel strips that first bore the Focusrite name, taking the interface back to its roots. You can dive deep into our history here.
The 2i2 Anniversary Edition took centre stage and was accompanied by its counterparts in the Scarlett 4th Gen range, where our knowledgeable product specialists were on hand to talk on how is the perfect companion for any guitarist — whether you’re practicing with Scarlett Solo, recording demos with Scarlett 4i4, or looking to make a record with Scarlett 18i20 with plenty of I/O for the whole band.
ISA One also featured so guitarists could get hands on with the classic with independent DI and variable impedance. Perfect for vocals, acoustic, and electric guitars to take your sound even further.
Thank you to everyone who visited the stand, celebrated 40 years of Focusrite with us, and participated in the Guess the Track competition.
