Audio Interfaces for Guitarists
Getting your sound out to the world can be a daunting task – we know, because we’ve been on that road ourselves for over 35 years. Removing barriers to creativity is what we do best. Join us on this journey and we’ll show you some of the great features of the Focusrite Scarlett and Clarett audio interface ranges that can help you refine your tone and capture its true character.
Designed for guitar
Our instrument inputs switch you into Hi Z (high impedance) mode — designed to handle the hottest pickups without clipping or creating unwanted distortion.
Set your level with confidence, or let your Scarlett do it for you
Scarlett 4th Gen (excluding Scarlett Solo) features Auto Gain and Clip Safe, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. On Scarlett Solo levels are adjusted manually with Dynamic Gain Halos — if you’re seeing red, just dial yourself back into the green and you’re good to go.
Capture the character of your sound with an analogue vibe
When recording with a Clarett interface, dedicated JFET instrument inputs give you the sound you need to make your guitars and basses punch.
