Remember when the internet went bananas for the DigiTech Bad Monkey? Wampler did, and then made the Triumph – a drive pedal that JHS head honcho Josh Scott called “better than the Bad Monkey”. If all of that means absolutely nothing to you, let me just say that the Triumph is a superb Tube Screamer-derived drive with extra flexibility, via a three-band EQ and a Smooth/Punch switch for classic and modern tones. For Cyber Monday, it’s under $85. Now that’s bananas.View Deal

As far as simple loopers go, it's hard to look past the RC-1. In our review, we said, "The Boss RC-1 Loop Station is a really easy-to-use looper pedal with great functionality, 12 minutes record time, stereo ins and outs, and superb build quality. This pedal is perfect for simple looping in a live performance setting or for writing."

Looking for Klon-esque midrange drive from a standard-sized pedal? MXR has got you. The Fat Sugar is more faithful than many other Klones: it blends your clean signal at the start of your sweep, and offers increased headroom via an onboard voltage doubler. There’s also a choice of buffered and true bypass. But, let’s face it, most importantly, it’s pink and sparkly. And $40 off.View Deal

The MXR Joshua is quite simply the legendary company’s one-way ticket to U2 town, because once you’ve gone to the Edge, you can never come back. If you still haven't found what you're looking for, tonally, this pedal might be the ticket, and with its price cut down to $169 at Sweetwater for a limited time, there's never been a better time to take your tone to where the streets have no name (ok, we're done).View Deal

Fun fact: Boss literally invented the pedal tuner in 1998. Before that, nobody had a tuner on their pedalboard. Isn’t that nuts? All of which is to say that you can trust the TU-3 Chromatic Tuner to keep you in tune. Glare-free display, multiple tuning modes and rock-solid Boss build quality for $79. Let’s go.View Deal

This pedal combines the classic aesthetics of the famed Klon Centaur with an impressive sound that makes it a top contender among Klon clones - and a firm favorite among us at Guitar World. Save $90 at Guitar Center. View Deal

Full-sized wah pedals are SO last century. Mini wahs are where it’s at right now – maximizing pedalboard real estate while still getting the same tone. And they don’t come much better than Dunlop’s venerable Cry Baby Mini. Boasting the Fasel inductor you’ll find in the full-fat version, plus three adjustable voicings – Low, Vintage and GCB95 – this is all the wah most players will need. And it’s now under $100!View Deal

A volume pedal AND a touchscreen-equipped tuner, this pedal has a display that's super-bright and looks far too good to be stepped on. But stepped on it must be in order to activate Ernie Ball’s trademark super-smooth volume pedal action. Then you can tap the screen and dial in exactly the right tuning setting for your rig, including always-on settings. This Black Friday, it's had $70 lopped off its price tag at Musician’s Friend: a damn fine offer that'll save you money and space on your pedalboard.View Deal

The Boss DS-1 Distortion is an absolute classic of the genre. Stomped by everyone from Kurt Cobain to Joe Satriani, its affordability and rampant gain have made it one of the most popular guitar pedals of all time. Perhaps that’s why I’ve owned two in my lifetime, after regretting selling the first – but, incredibly, I’m now considering buying another.View Deal

One of our favorite cheap looper pedals has had $50 slashed off the price. One footswitch covers your record, overdub, undo-redo and loop erase functionality, and you can store up to 11 loops on the pedal itself. With its easy-to-follow LEDs, it’s a great entry point into looping, especially at this price tag. Sweetwater has already sold out, but we’ve found a few more units lurking at Walmart – just be quick!View Deal

The BD-2 is one of the most ubiquitous overdrive pedals on the planet, and with good reason: its rich tones warm up any amp, and it makes a great booster, too. Boss pedals hold their value like no others, so this 21% drop is awful tempting.View Deal

The cheapest entry point into the Line 6 HX ecosystem is this no-nonsense, easy-to-use offering that spans amp modeling, distortion, modulation, delay and reverb. All with tap tempo, presets and a dedicated headphone output. It uses the same tones as the full-fat Helix, and even has its own dedicated editing software. $129 is a ridiculously low price for this kind of functionality.View Deal

I've had a HX Stomp on my pedalboard for the past couple of years now, and it's become the hub for all my delay, reverb, and modulation sounds. Instead of having three separate pedals it handles a multitude of duties sitting in the FX loop of my amp. I also use it for amp modeling in conjunction with third-party IRs, where it's perfect for recording guitar demos. This limited mint green edition has eye-catching looks to add to the equation, and with $100 off at Guitar Center I can highly recommend picking one up.View Deal

In our glowing review, we said, "There is no shortage of applications for the TONEX. It's a no-brainer for any player who wants to take a digital version of their rig to their gig in a compact, portable, and affordable format. But it's a similarly practical tool for the home or studio."

The Quad Cortex has become an essential unit for us at Guitar World, serving as our go-to for recording audio for our gear demo videos.

In our review, we said, "The Nano Cortex might not be perfect, but with the help of a breezy app, an expansive new update, and some world-class features, it very nearly is. As a compact amp modeler/cab simulator/capture device, this is perhaps the best option out there, screen or no screen."

Bundled with an expression pedal, you can save $40 at Sweetwater.

If you want to join the tone revolution but don’t quite fancy paying over the odds for vintage gear, the JHS 424 Gain Stage is the pedal for you. With $63 off at Sweetwater, this is the first big-brand take on the famous 424 MK1 recording multitrack recorder, made relevant again by guitarist Mk.gee. Expect whacky versatility, as this pedal will deliver drive, clean boost, fuzz, and can even be used as a direct-in. Perfect for the modern tone chaser. Read our full 4.5-star review.View Deal

The JHS Hard Drive has been reduced by $50 during this Sweetwater sale and is perfect for children of the ’90s. From Dimebag Darrell scooped-mids tight riffs to classic Green Day and early Foo Fighters Marshall tones, the Hard Drive (available in either black or tan) is an in-your-face, punchy distortion pedal. This is one of JHS’s first completely unique circuits, and picking it up for $50 less than usual is incredibly tempting. Read our full 4.5-star review.View Deal

Sometimes all I want is a pedal that does its job in the simplest way possible, and the Tidewater Mini does just that. With $34 off at Sweetwater, this mini pedal nails the tremolo tone of classic vintage Fender amplifiers. You know the one – that sweet, musical tremolo that makes everything sound just a little better without taking up much space in the mix. If you don’t know it yet, be warned: play it once and you’ll be hooked for life (take my word for it). There’s a reason why this one features in our guide to the best tremolo pedals.View Deal

If you’re looking for the biggest discount, you’ve found it. With $113 off the ticket price, the Color Box V2 offers you the best savings at Sweetwater. Luckily for us, it’s a superb pedal too. It is a multifaceted pedal, but its prime use is as a fully analog vintage preamp with oozing overdrive. It’s not hyperbole when I say the Color Box has been used every time my band and I visited our studio to record. This current offer is on the 10th anniversary model, a great chance to pick up something more limited.View Deal

The Flight Delay is a fully comprehensive delay pedal, stacked with features you typically want from a modern delay pedal. With a current saving of $63, you’re getting a tasty chunk off, which opens the door to delay, reverse, and analog delays with modulated tapers, tap tempo features, and EQ controls, all in a simple layout. If you’re looking for a delay pedal for life, the Flight Delay should be at the top of your list, as you’re not going to need much more from a delay pedal than this.View Deal

The Line 6 DL4 MkII is the second iteration of a hugely popular digital modelling delay and looper workstation, and better than the first in practically every way. There’s an XLR-in for vocals, MIDI in, out and thru for digital control, a micro-SD slot for extended memory, USB-C connectivity, new delay models and even a secret reverb mode. This is the 25^th Anniversary edition, which trades mint green for a sterling silver colorway (and comes with some limited-edition merch to boot). It’s usually $300, but Reverb’s Black Friday deals continue to confound; you can get it with a huge $120 off. Read our 5-star review. View Deal

The Digitech Drop is a really popular pedal for quick drop-tuning, allowing gigging guitar players to change their tuning without having to bring a second guitar on the road. This open-box deal is available at the Crazy Dave's Music store on Reverb, and with a massive $50 reduction it's as cheap as you'll find it at any major retailer.View Deal

At just $99, the Pigtronix Constellator is a brilliant deal at Sweetwater thanks to a huge $80 reduction. It's an analog delay pedal that delivers a luscious warm wash that belies its budget price point. It's a seriously underrated bit of gear, and we love the modulated tones it can deliver, as well as the mini size that means it's easily able to fit onto any 'board.View Deal

Walrus Audio may have recently updated its Mako Series, but make no mistake: the original pedals are still serious bits of kit. For Black Friday Sweetwater has slashed $200 off the MKI R1 Reverb, M1 Modulation and D1 Delay pedals, all of which received glowing reviews from Guitar World. Each pedal offers a host of effects types and loads of tone-tweaking tools. Some of the newer MKII pedals have also been discounted, with price reductions of up to $90.View Deal

Guitar wireless systems used to be crazy expensive, so this deal on the Xvive U2 Wireless System is a great reminder of just how far we've come in terms of the technology. With a $45 reduction at Musican's Friend, this wireless kit is superb value for money, and the freeing feeling of doing away with cables is a convenience that all guitarists really need to experience.View Deal

At half price over at the official UA website, the UAD Guitar Amp Bundle is a stunning deal for players who use an audio interface or like to record their playing. It includes four iconic guitar amps, including a trio of the most recorded amps ever with models on the Fender Deluxe Reverb, Marshall Plexi, and the Vox AC30 included. You also get the Woodrow 55 which is based on a Fender Tweed amp.View Deal

I use this amp plugin when I want a clean tube combo vibe that can break into sweet overdrive and lush spring reverb plus vibrato. The realism of having the ‘65 Reverb sound in-box means I can skip the real hardware but still get that silverface feel.View Deal

If you need Plexi-style aggression, rock-era bark or full-on hot-rodded roar, then this is your guy. Three distinct 100-watt plexi circuits, plus boost options and mic’d cabinet emulation, give you the perfect classic sound you need right in your DAW.View Deal

If you want vintage tweed cleans, warm saturation or grungy drive that stays elongated, this amp covers it. Ideal for tracking bluesy leads and ambient guitar textures without the fuss of cab-IR swapping. A very useful part of the toolkit at this price.View Deal

Tthe Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen delivers a great balance of features, performance, and software offering. Its low-latency performance is simply phenomenal, and you can get it to go below 5ms on Mac, which is incredibly low considering the price. It’s great on Windows too, with one of the most robust drivers I’ve ever encountered. Add in some cool features like clip safe and auto gain modes alongside significant improvements in AD/DA conversion, and there’s a good reason it sits in the top picks of my guide. With a nice $30 off over at Sweetwater, it’s the ultimate interface for the vast majority of music makers out there.View Deal

The Audient iD4 MkII is a fantastic bit of kit, and I actually still use it as my travel interface when I need to mix on the go. It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers top-quality sound as you’d expect from a company that makes consoles for professional studios. I love the dual headphone outputs which allows for quick and easy collaboration, and I picked it out as a great option for beginner mixers who want something easy to use, but with enough room to grow into as they develop their craft. It’s currently got a cool $30 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, so if you’re looking for a great all-rounder they don’t come much better than this.View Deal

If you want something a little more ‘pro’, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X is the step up you’ve been looking for. I use its bigger brother, the X4, as my daily in my home studio, and when I was reviewing the Twin X I really loved the analogue style workflow it encourages you to take on. By harnessing the DSP power within the interface itself, you can offload processing from your computer to the interface itself, allowing you to place plugins on the input path like you would in a proper studio. It’s got a huge $200 discount at Sweetwater right now, so if you’re ready to step up to the big leagues, then this is the interface for you.View Deal

For those who primarily record guitars, the IK Multimedia Axe I/O is the ultimate guitar audio interface. It’s got some properly cool guitarist-friendly features, like the ability to switch the input for active or passive pickups, an impedance control for changing the high-end content, a dedicated reamp out for changing those DI tones, and it even has a built-in guitar tuner. It’s got a ginormous $100 off at Sweetwater in the Black Friday sale, so if you want to upgrade the way you record your guitars, this is my favorite interface for guitarists.View Deal

I picked out the SSL2+ MKII as a great interface for recording vocals, because SSL preamps are known for being ultra-clean. This is certainly the case with what’s an offer here, but there’s also some additional functionality that I think makes it particularly well-suited for singer-songwriters. The dual headphone outs are great for collaborating with others on tracks, and with dedicated volumes for each, you can set a perfect balance for you and the vocalist you’re working with. The built-in low cut for each track is also super handy, allowing you to get rid of any low-end rumble you might get from your singer moving around whilst they deliver their take. With a nice $50 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, it’s a great time to pick up this interface and upgrade the sound of your recordings for Black Friday.View Deal

Steve Vai is such a huge fan of Positive Grid’s mini practice amp that he designed his own version, complete with four presets that meet his exacting tonal standards. It also looks the part, boasting a unique burgundy tolex and mandala grille, and comes with a custom weave burgundy cable. And, of course, it packs all the other Spark Mini features, including Bluetooth audio streaming, AI tones, app tone tweaking and sound far bigger than its size. You can get the regular Spark Mini for $20 less, but the aesthetics and onboard tones make this our favorite edition of the award-winning mini amp so far.View Deal

As far as simple loopers go, it's hard to look past the RC-1. In our review, we said, "The Boss RC-1 Loop Station is a really easy-to-use looper pedal with great functionality, 12 minutes record time, stereo ins and outs, and superb build quality. This pedal is perfect for simple looping in a live performance setting or for writing."

The Boss DS-1 Distortion is an absolute classic of the genre. Stomped by everyone from Kurt Cobain to Joe Satriani, its affordability and rampant gain have made it one of the most popular guitar pedals of all time. Perhaps that’s why I’ve owned two in my lifetime, after regretting selling the first – but, incredibly, I’m now considering buying another.View Deal

Whether you need a great variety of expressive tones for performing on stage or want to create entirely new signature sounds, the Boss GT-1000 delivers extremely powerful guitar tone and effects capabilities in a stage-worthy, portable, all-in-one rig package.

It might not be as exciting as a new guitar or pedal, but quality guitar cables are a must for any guitarist. Over at the Musician's Friend early Black Friday sale, we spotted this Boss Instrument/Patch cable bundle with a nice $10 discount. It features a single instrument cable and two patch cables, making it a great buy for guitarists who need to stock up for less.View Deal

The Boss Katana is arguably one of the most revered practice amps of the last few years, and it’s easy to see why. Loaded with top-notch effects and amp models as well as three power settings, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better practice solution on the market. View Deal

Tthe Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen delivers a great balance of features, performance, and software offering. Its low-latency performance is simply phenomenal, and you can get it to go below 5ms on Mac, which is incredibly low considering the price. It’s great on Windows too, with one of the most robust drivers I’ve ever encountered. Add in some cool features like clip safe and auto gain modes alongside significant improvements in AD/DA conversion, and there’s a good reason it sits in the top picks of my guide. With a nice $30 off over at Sweetwater, it’s the ultimate interface for the vast majority of music makers out there.View Deal

The Audient iD4 MkII is a fantastic bit of kit, and I actually still use it as my travel interface when I need to mix on the go. It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers top-quality sound as you’d expect from a company that makes consoles for professional studios. I love the dual headphone outputs which allows for quick and easy collaboration, and I picked it out as a great option for beginner mixers who want something easy to use, but with enough room to grow into as they develop their craft. It’s currently got a cool $30 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, so if you’re looking for a great all-rounder they don’t come much better than this.View Deal

If you want something a little more ‘pro’, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X is the step up you’ve been looking for. I use its bigger brother, the X4, as my daily in my home studio, and when I was reviewing the Twin X I really loved the analogue style workflow it encourages you to take on. By harnessing the DSP power within the interface itself, you can offload processing from your computer to the interface itself, allowing you to place plugins on the input path like you would in a proper studio. It’s got a huge $200 discount at Sweetwater right now, so if you’re ready to step up to the big leagues, then this is the interface for you.View Deal

For those who primarily record guitars, the IK Multimedia Axe I/O is the ultimate guitar audio interface. It’s got some properly cool guitarist-friendly features, like the ability to switch the input for active or passive pickups, an impedance control for changing the high-end content, a dedicated reamp out for changing those DI tones, and it even has a built-in guitar tuner. It’s got a ginormous $100 off at Sweetwater in the Black Friday sale, so if you want to upgrade the way you record your guitars, this is my favorite interface for guitarists.View Deal

I picked out the SSL2+ MKII as a great interface for recording vocals, because SSL preamps are known for being ultra-clean. This is certainly the case with what’s an offer here, but there’s also some additional functionality that I think makes it particularly well-suited for singer-songwriters. The dual headphone outs are great for collaborating with others on tracks, and with dedicated volumes for each, you can set a perfect balance for you and the vocalist you’re working with. The built-in low cut for each track is also super handy, allowing you to get rid of any low-end rumble you might get from your singer moving around whilst they deliver their take. With a nice $50 reduction in the Guitar Center sale, it’s a great time to pick up this interface and upgrade the sound of your recordings for Black Friday.View Deal

If you want to join the tone revolution but don’t quite fancy paying over the odds for vintage gear, the JHS 424 Gain Stage is the pedal for you. With $63 off at Sweetwater, this is the first big-brand take on the famous 424 MK1 recording multitrack recorder, made relevant again by guitarist Mk.gee. Expect whacky versatility, as this pedal will deliver drive, clean boost, fuzz, and can even be used as a direct-in. Perfect for the modern tone chaser. Read our full 4.5-star review.View Deal

The JHS Hard Drive has been reduced by $50 during this Sweetwater sale and is perfect for children of the ’90s. From Dimebag Darrell scooped-mids tight riffs to classic Green Day and early Foo Fighters Marshall tones, the Hard Drive (available in either black or tan) is an in-your-face, punchy distortion pedal. This is one of JHS’s first completely unique circuits, and picking it up for $50 less than usual is incredibly tempting. Read our full 4.5-star review.View Deal

Sometimes all I want is a pedal that does its job in the simplest way possible, and the Tidewater Mini does just that. With $34 off at Sweetwater, this mini pedal nails the tremolo tone of classic vintage Fender amplifiers. You know the one – that sweet, musical tremolo that makes everything sound just a little better without taking up much space in the mix. If you don’t know it yet, be warned: play it once and you’ll be hooked for life (take my word for it). There’s a reason why this one features in our guide to the best tremolo pedals.View Deal

If you’re looking for the biggest discount, you’ve found it. With $113 off the ticket price, the Color Box V2 offers you the best savings at Sweetwater. Luckily for us, it’s a superb pedal too. It is a multifaceted pedal, but its prime use is as a fully analog vintage preamp with oozing overdrive. It’s not hyperbole when I say the Color Box has been used every time my band and I visited our studio to record. This current offer is on the 10th anniversary model, a great chance to pick up something more limited.View Deal

The Flight Delay is a fully comprehensive delay pedal, stacked with features you typically want from a modern delay pedal. With a current saving of $63, you’re getting a tasty chunk off, which opens the door to delay, reverse, and analog delays with modulated tapers, tap tempo features, and EQ controls, all in a simple layout. If you’re looking for a delay pedal for life, the Flight Delay should be at the top of your list, as you’re not going to need much more from a delay pedal than this.View Deal

In our glowing review, we said, "There is no shortage of applications for the TONEX. It's a no-brainer for any player who wants to take a digital version of their rig to their gig in a compact, portable, and affordable format. But it's a similarly practical tool for the home or studio."

So that's why it's at the top of my considerations. I know it can easily nail my amp sounds and then some.

The Quad Cortex has become an essential unit for us at Guitar World, serving as our go-to for recording audio for our gear demo videos.

In our review, we said, "The Nano Cortex might not be perfect, but with the help of a breezy app, an expansive new update, and some world-class features, it very nearly is. As a compact amp modeler/cab simulator/capture device, this is perhaps the best option out there, screen or no screen."

I quite liked this compact amp simulator whrn I reviewed it for Guitar World. I said, "There's a lot to like about the Walrus Audio ACS1 MKII. This feature-laden pedal offers players a wealth of tonal options, MIDI compatibility, true stereo imaging, and a bomb-proof construction. When the tones are good, they are very good, but unfortunately, not all the amp models hit the mark."

This stunning Gretsch has got a massive $270 reduction, and that midnight blue finish with gold hardware makes it a real head turner. Dual Filter’Tron pickups are perfect for rock and roll guitar playing, while the treble bleed circuit ensures you can roll off the volume and still retain the clarity. Add in a Bigsby tremolo, and you’ve got yourself one amazing guitar for a lot less.View Deal

Double-cut guitars more your speed? Well, the Gretsch G5422TG Electromatic is a great option. Boasting a set of vintage-voiced Gretsch FT-5E Filter'Tron humbucking pickups and Bigsby B60, this guitar nails that classic Gretsch twang and then some. View Deal

Not all Gretsch guitars are massive hollow-bodies, designed for country. Take the Gretsch Electromatic Jet, an underappreciated single cut that is more than capable of rocking. Featuring a chambered mahogany body, laurel-capped mahogany neck, and a set of Blacktop Filter’Tron pickups, this guitar is simple but a lot of fun to play. View Deal

The stunning Gretsch G2420T Streamliner is big, bold and full of vibe. From the amazing build quality and stylish aesthetic, to the warm tones on offer from both the on-board BroadTron pickups, this guitar oozes class. If this ticks all your boxes, now is the perfect time to pick one up.View Deal

Man, this guitar is a serious looker, right? Thankfully, it sounds just as good as it looks. The Gretsch Streamliner Cat-Eye more than delivers the Gretsch sound thanks to a trio Broad'Tron BT-3S humbucking pickups. The guitar also features a 16" arched maple body with a chambered center block and cat-eye f-holes. View Deal

We gave this awesome Epiphone 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review, so if you want some extra bang for your buck this Black Friday then it's definitely worth checking out the Epiphone Jeffe Beck Oxblood 1954 Les Pual. It's got a huge £220 discount in the Thomann sale, and with a pair of Custombuckers and 50s wiring, it's a great way to get vintage guitar tones for less.View Deal

This guitar looks wild, but it's one of the most playable instruments I've ever had my hands on. The EndurNeck profile takes some getting used to, but within minutes you'll be flying across the neck of the Strandberg Boden Essential. It's got a hefty £148 reduction at Thomann taking it below a grand, so if you want the ultimate in playability this is a great way to get it for less.View Deal

I’ve used quite a few Joyo pedals over the past few years and they really are superb value for money, even at full price. This Joyo R-07 OMB has got a hefty 19% reduction bringing it just below the £70 mark. With a 40-minute looper, 7 drum kits with 7 drum beats each, and a tap tempo button, it could be just the boon your guitar playing needs going into the new year.View Deal

Looking very much like Ibanez’s Tim Henson signature, this sleek-looking nylon string acoustic is perfect for those players who want to eschew classical styling and play their fingerstyle with a modern touch.

If you really want to push the boat out this year, this Gibson Les Paul 68 Custom Reissue has got a cool £343 reduction in the Thomann sale, letting you own a Gibson Custom Shop model for less.

The idea of a compact bass amp will seem alien to most bass players, but this is exactly what the Phil Jones Double Four BG-75 gives you. If you can’t practice at home with your massive bass stack, this compact and clever little amp will deliver plenty of low end that won’t harm your relationship with your neighbours. It’s got a gigantic £173 off in the Thomann Cyber Week sale, making it a must-have for any player who wants to sharpen their skills even further.View Deal

Looking at it, you wouldn’t believe the Danelectro Spring King Junior is a genuine spring reverb. It’s absolutely tiny, yet has genuine springs in it to give that metallic tang to your guitar playing that just makes your guitar tone sing. We gave it a four and a half stars out of five in our review, noting the soft touch switch that helps with any clanging when you stomp, and the standard 9-volt operation. With a massive £105 off in the sale it’s a staggeringly good deal, but I can’t imagine stocks of this will last long.View Deal

Fender’s Player II Stratocaster finds an excellent balance between modernity and tradition, more aligned with early Strat designs than its luxuriantly smoky Forest Green colorway would suggest. A modern C-profile neck and medium-jumbo fretwork combine for a slick feel under-hand, while Fender’s Alnico V single-coils fully bring the surf. This is a stunning workhorse Strat, and Fender are practically giving them away with a stonking 30%-off Black Friday discount.View Deal

The Fender Player II Telecaster is a unique beast, trucking in the same retro-modern approach as its Stratocaster counterpart but with more of an eye on the present day. The silky Forest Green colorway is a delight, especially when set off against that maple/rosewood neck-and-fingerboard combo. A modern C-profile neck and medium-jumbo frets again make for fast and loose playing, and the two Alnico V single-coils meet the twangy occasion with gusto. This, too, for a stunning 30% discount at Fender for a limited time.View Deal

The 110ce is a dreadnought acoustic-electric with a solid Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides. Our review praised its excellent fit and finish and its naturally balanced tonality throughout, delivering serious performance well below $1K. It also packs Taylor’s Expression System 2 pickup. For our money, this is the best pound-for-pound acoustic in the price bracket. Read our full 4.5 star review.View Deal

This Grand Auditorium is built with a solid Sitka spruce top and layered copafera back and sides, offering a comfortable, versatile body shape that suits both strummers and fingerstyle players.

This is a well-rounded, gig-worthy Taylor at a solid discount.View Deal

A Grand Auditorium with a mahogany top and sapele back and sides, the 324ce offers a warm, rich voice that stands out among its peers.

Part of Taylor’s 300 series V-Class range, the 314ce is a Grand Auditorium with a solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides.

The Line 6 DL4 MkII is the second iteration of a hugely popular digital modelling delay and looper workstation, and better than the first in practically every way. There’s an XLR-in for vocals, MIDI in, out and thru for digital control, a micro-SD slot for extended memory, USB-C connectivity, new delay models and even a secret reverb mode. This is the 25^th Anniversary edition, which trades mint green for a sterling silver colorway (and comes with some limited-edition merch to boot). It’s usually $300, but Reverb’s Black Friday deals continue to confound; you can get it with a huge $120 off. Read our 5-star review. View Deal

With a gigantic $252 reduction taking the price down to well below the $600 mark, this Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster is an absolutely stonking deal. It’s the lowest price I’ve seen a Player II guitar going for, so if you’re after a super playable and versatile instrument that punches above its weight then this is a great deal to go for. In my Player II Stratocaster review I gave it four and a half stars out of five, praising the vintage tone of the Alnico pickups, the return of rosewood fingerboards, and the effortlessly playable modern ‘C’ profile neck.

This super cool Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster SJ is quite unlike most other Fender models I’ve come across, blending the offset shape of a Jazzmaster and single coil in the neck position, with the classic bridge pickup of a Telecaster. It’s got a huge $141.90 discount in the Fender sale, so if you’re after a guitar that’s quite unlike any other, this is a great shout.View Deal

Another unusual offspring of the Squier Paranormal series, this Troublemaker Telecaster Deluxe has been discounted by a huge $141.90, taking the price down to well below $350. It’s one of the coolest Squier guitars I’ve ever played, with dual humbuckers and a four knob control layout giving some deliciously thick guitar tones. It’s even got coil splits for extra tonal versatility, making this a real powerhouse for relatively little cash.View Deal

This Fender Vintage Ads Coaster Set is a great gift idea for the Fender fan who already owns too many guitars. Reduced by a cheeky $6.30, you get four different coasters depicting the 1960s ‘You Won’t Part With Yours’ campaign, which saw Fender guitars being used in places of varying insanity, such as skydiving, scuba diving, and surfing. A great shout as a stocking filler for the player who has it all.View Deal

This deal was hidden right at the bottom of the page on the Fender website, but precious little gets past me. Packing an SH pickup configuration and a Bigsby B50, this is an absolutely amazing deal with a hefty $157.50 taking the price down to just $367.49. It’s got some really nice retro touches too, with a vintage-tinted gloss neck, double-bound body, and a vintage-inspired headstock design.View Deal

If you’re looking for a guitar that’s a little more premium than a Squier, this Fender American Performer Stratocaster gives you an MIA guitar for below a grand, which is awesome value in my book. It’s been given a chunky $240 reduction in the sale, and is packing two Yosemite single coil pickups and a Double Tap humbucker that lets you split down to a single coil. Add in a satin finished neck for smooth playability and jumbo frets and you’ve got yourself a gig-ready guitar for a lot less.View Deal

This Squier Affinity Series Telecaster is a great choice for a beginner guitarist, and with a nice $75 reduction on the regular price, it leaves plenty of budget for a practice amplifier and accessories.

The Strandberg Boden Essential 6 is one of the weirdest, yet most satisfying guitars I’ve played over the last few years.

I've had a HX Stomp on my pedalboard for the past couple of years now, and it's become the hub for all my delay, reverb, and modulation sounds.
