Multi-effects pedals and amp modelers are among the most sought-after gear every holiday season, and we’re pleased to report there are some mighty Cyber Monday guitar deals to be had.
If you’re looking for the ultimate all-in-one rig solution, you’ve come to the right place: these do-all devices deliver just about every effect under the sun in one unit, offer replicas of classic real-life amps or both – and there are savings on a wide range of pedals this year.
Top-of-the-range compact multi-effects pedals from Boss, HeadRush and TC Electronic have seen their prices drop, while Zoom’s MultiStomp offerings are also seeing healthy discounts.

Zoom MS-70CDR: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=44022&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FZoom-ZMS70CDR-MS-70CDR-MultiStomp-Chorus%2Fdp%2FB00BFN58WQ%2F%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$149 $119 at Amazon
Looking for maximum versatility from the smallest possible package? The MS-70CDR is the multi-FX you seek. CDR technically stands for Chorus Delay Reverb, but several mammoth firmware updates ensure the Zoom’s covers everything from pitch-shifting, every modulation type under the sun as well as its namesake effects. With a dedicated Reddit following and a low current draw, the MS-70CDR is something of a cult classic, and an essential purchase for alternative players in search of tripped-out tones.
Zoom MS-50G: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=44022&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FZoom-MS50G-MultiStomp-Guitar-Pedal%2Fdp%2FB009S814U0%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$124 $99 at Amazon
If a slightly more conventional feature set is more your style, the MS-50G includes a host of overdrive and more conventional effects – 47, to be precise – alongside eight amp models. Again, if you’re after maximum sounds from minimal pedalboard real estate, this is a must-buy, with a 20% discount at Amazon.
Mooer GE150: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=44022&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FMOOER-GE150-Electric-Modelling-Effects%2Fdp%2FB07XB71T3H%2F%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$169 $142 at Amazon
Nobody delivers bang for buck like Mooer, and the GE150 is impossibly feature-packed for its price. You get 55 amp models taken from Mooer’s highly rated Micro Preamp series, plus 151 effects, impulse responses, drum rhythms, micro-USB out, 200 presets, an onboard expression pedal, plus an 80-second looper. We gave the GE150 4.5 out of 5 in our review, and for the price, there really is no beating it – especially with 16% off at Amazon.

The LT sacrifices a few of the full-fat Helix’s lesser-used features – aux and mic inputs, external amp switching and scribble strips – but for the vast majority of players, it delivers all the tones and flexibility you could possibly desire, and at $999, it’s $500 cheaper, too.
