For first-time players or anyone looking to add a Strat to their arsenal without breaking the bank, it really doesn’t get much better than this in this price range. It’s snappy, vibrant, and resonant, and the Tahitian Coral poplar body gives it a lighter, airier vibe that really suits unplugged playing. The maple neck is a comfortable C profile that feels familiarly playable. The guitar also held its own when plugged into a Fender Blues Junior.View Deal

Mooer has been around for a while now, evolving from a budget Chinese brand into a fully-fledged guitar brand in its own right. This Mooer GE150 budget multi-effects is a great option for players looking to make a deeper foray into guitar playing, thanks to 55 different amp sims, 26 cabinets, and 151 different FX, making it very complete indeed. Add in a looper, multi-function footswitches, and a built-in drum machine, and you've got everything the budding guitar player needs for way less than $130, an absolute bargain in anybody's book.View Deal

What you’re getting here is a pedal that can supply the signature sound of 11 different amp types – a mix of some named favorites and some more generic Boss creations – each of which has an associated cab IR from Celestion Digital, although you can load alternative IRs into the pedal using the free, dedicated IR-2 IR Loader app for Mac OS and Windows. View Deal

A fully analog delay that's small enough to fit on any pedalboard for only $30? Yes please. Featuring warm repeats, a robust aluminum-alloy enclosure, and true bypass switching, this pedal is a steal at under $40! View Deal

The Boss BD-2W Blues Driver is another firm favorite here at Guitar World, delivering tube amp-like tone and feel in a tiny yet durable enclosure. It can do everything from clean boost to full-on saturation, is super simple to use, and reacts brilliantly to your guitar's volume control and your picking dynamics.View Deal

The Boss DD-3T is an updated version of one of the most popular digital delay pedals of all time, adding a much-requested tap tempo input which didn't feature on the original DD-3. It's got a direct out for wet/dry setups, easy access to set delay times via the mode knob, and even a short looper mode.View Deal

I was pleasantly surprised by the Flamma FC05 Mini Modulation pedal when I tried it. There are a lot of different sounds available, thanks to 11 different flavors of modulation, and while not all of them will blow you away, there are some really fantastic tones here.

I particularly enjoyed the chorus, tremolo, phaser, rotary, and auto wah tones, and thanks to the three controls, you can get a lot of flexibility, whether you want something subtle or you want to really alter your tone to something otherworldly. It’s also a great buy if you’re not sure what modulation sounds you like, and fancy trying them all out before committing to individual stompboxes.

It's got 20% off in the Prime Day sale, and when you factor in that it's essentially 11 different pedals in one, that works out at $2.90 per effect. Stupendous value!

Bigger budget? Try this: Zoom MS-50G+MultiStomp, current price $109.99 (100 top-quality effects)View Deal

If the Waza CE-2W is a bit too steep, this Boss CH-1 Super Chorus is available for a lot less thanks to a Prime Day discount. It's full stereo, delivering a chorus tone that helps you cut through a busy mix, whether you want those classic 80s chorus tones, vibrato, or even flanger-style sounds.View Deal

The Boss RE-2 Space Echo is a compact version of one of the most legendary tape delay units ever manufactured. It's a sound that's been on countless records over the years, now super easy to use and stick on your pedalboard. It's got 11 different modes, so there are plenty of options for carving your tone, and it even models the spring reverb section of the original unit. The Wow and Flutter controls the tape waver, delivering delicious modulated sounds, and you can balance the echo and reverb sides of the pedal, making it super flexible.View Deal

The Boss CS-3 Compressor/Sustainer was a staple on my pedalboard when I was playing in an indie band. I used it to even out the picking dynamics on the arpeggiated chords I was frequently playing, and as a solo booster for enhancing sustain.View Deal

The ProCo Rat has always been one of my go-to distortion pedals. I’ve cycled through a few different versions over the years, but it’s been a while since I actually had one on my board. So, I was pretty stoked to see what Joyo could pull off with their take on this classic circuit.

Plug it in, and you can easily dial up everything from punchy, crunchy rhythms to full-on fuzz mayhem, all with that unmistakable Rat snarl. Sure, it’s a bit fizzy for my taste, and the gain knob doesn’t sweep as evenly as the original, but there’s definitely some cool tones in there if you’re willing to mess around and find the sweet spots.

What really sets the Splinter apart are the two toggle switches: FAT and MOSFET. As you’d expect, the FAT switch fattens up your sound with a massive low end, which is awesome for chunky riffs or making your leads really pop. The MOSFET switch changes up the clipping, so you can go for a softer, vintage feel or stick with the stock setting for more bite.

Again, just like with the American Sound, I don’t totally trust these footswitches. But honestly, for $31.99, you can’t really complain. It’s a crazy good deal for what you get.View Deal

The Boss SL-2 Slicer is one of the company's more unique pedals, letting you chop up your tones in a variety of rhythms to produce some really incredible sounds. A massive 88 onboard patterns means plenty of choice, it does full stereo operation, has MIDI for syncing with drum machines or a DAW, plus the attack and duty controls will let you really get into the nitty gritty of your tone shaping.View Deal

The Boss PH-3 Phase Shifter is a classic phaser pedal, delivering a wide range of effects in the typically durable Boss compact stompbox enclosure. It's got multiple options for stages with 4, 8, 10, and 12-stage, so you can run the gamut from classic phaser sounds to incredibly deep and intense guitar tones. One really cool feature is unidirectional mode, which makes it sound as though your guitar is continuously going up or down in pitch!View Deal

Want to make your electric sound like an acoustic? Well, the Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator is your friend. Of course, it doesn't sound totally like an acoustic, but it gets pretty damn close for my money. Use it as the first pedal in your chain, and watch your guitar turn from electric to acoustic before your very eyes!View Deal

This Boss TU-3W Chromatic Tuner is the upgraded version of the legendary TU-3, a tuner pedal that's graced countless 'boards over the years. The buffer circuit has been refined and can be turned off if you prefer true bypass. An additional brightness mode has been added for outdoor playing, and it supports both guitar and bass with specific tuning modes.View Deal

Speaking of strings, if you want to make yours last longer, then wiping down after every playing session with D'Addario XLR8 String Cleaner will ensure you get much more out of your string sets. Every time you play, sweat, dirt, and grime from your hands go onto the strings, drastically reducing their life span, and the resulting black gunk you get on your strings is a direct result of that. Available for just $6.49 at Amazon, when used regularly this cleaner will make sure your strings stay fresh for longer.View Deal

For the acoustic guitar players out there, this Ernie Ball Earthwood Acoustic Guitar Strings 3-pack has got a wicked 15% discount. Working out at just $5.10 per pack, it's a great value way to stock up on strings for the future, or outfit more guitars in your collection for less.View Deal

Personally, I never miss a chance to bag a new set of strings at a discount, as I go through them like wildfire playing with my band and recording in my local studio. These D'Addario XL strings are super value for money at the moment, with a three-pack costing just $15.99 at Amazon, which works out to just $5.33 per pack.View Deal

If you’re still chaining your pedals together on the floor then this is the deal for you. The Donner Pedal Board is low cost and it includes an integrated power supply which saves you having to buy and fit one separately. The wooden sides give it a classier look than your average all-black construction, and it includes a carry bag so you can take it to rehearsals or shows. For guitarists looking for their first pedalboard, this is an awesome deal and although it's not as cheap as it was during Prime Day, it's still got a very decent 10% off at the moment.View Deal

If you feel like changing up your guitar playing a bit this year, adding a guitar slide is a great way to open yourself up to some fresh techniques. I picked up the slide a few years back when I hit a rut in my playing, and even just for subtle little things, it made a huge difference. A simple solo suddenly took on a whole new timbre, sliding it down the strings with masses of effects pedals, resulting in some otherworldly sounds. This Ernie Ball Slide is just $8.99 in the early Prime Day sales, so well worth a punt if you fancy experimenting with your guitar tone.View Deal

Chinese brand Donner is one of the contemporary poster-children for music-gear accoutrement, and the patch cable market is no different. Here, for your Prime Day perusal, is a six-pack of Donner’s 12in flat-patch cables, with thin plastic ends for fitting snugly in your tight pedalboard. That extra length is welcome for accommodating pedals with different jack socket locations, too! For Prime Day, they’re 10% off at $18.94 per pack.View Deal

These Craftman Allen Wrenches will cover any guitar setup scenario you're ever likely to face, thanks to the mix of imperial and metric sizing to cover guitars made in different places. The bottom end of them is rounded off, which is super handy for getting into places where you can't necessarily go straight into the slot, and a universal T-handle adapter gives you extra leverage when you need it. They’re over 50% off at the moment, making them an absolute bargain. Buy these, and you'll never need another set of Allen wrenches again.View Deal

There aren't many discounts on string winders in the Prime Day sale, mainly because they're so cheap anyway. If you're all about getting as much value from your money as possible, however, this Powered by Rock Guitar String Winder has a cheeky 5% discount to save you a tiny bit more money. It's part string winder, string cutter, and peg puller, making it a versatile tool for any guitar player's gig bag or tool kit. It's bright red too, which immediately makes it better than a black one.View Deal

Before I ever soldered anything, it seemed like this scary thing that only experts could do. As part of my music production course, one of my tutors took me through the process, and there was one thing that really surprised me. Soldering is actually a ridiculously simple process once you know how. It takes seconds, literally, to solder a joint. The most common repair I have to do is output jacks. Because they’re so frequently used, they’re one of the first things to go on a guitar, but they’re so easy to repair that it’s hardly worth the cost of taking it to a tech, especially when you can pick a soldering kit like this Yihua 60-Watt Soldering Iron for less than $40.View Deal

These Workpro Wire Cutters are fantastic for cutting strings and will do any gauge of string, even those on a bass. They're lightweight, but the grippy handle gives you plenty of leverage, while the hardened cutting edges ensure it'll make light work of old strings. For just $9.99 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, this is a must-buy for anyone working on their own guitars.View Deal

You're probably thinking, over $25 for a ruler? Well, it is more expensive than the cheaper ones on Amazon, but there's a good reason for that. The first thing is that Stew Mac takes the time to ensure that the edge is a 'true zero', meaning it's far more accurate than cheaper stamping machines can do. When we're talking fractions of an inch, that matters a lot. The satin finish also makes it easy to read under any light, making it much more useful than many of the cheaper, chrome options available. It's normally just below the $40 mark, so well worth picking up at this price in the Prime Day sale.View Deal

A capo is often an overlooked tool for setting up guitars that comes in handy for a variety of things. I use a capo for measuring the action on a guitar, checking the neck relief, looking at the nut slot height, as well as shimming and bridge adjustments, without having to remove the strings. A capo can also double as a handy desktop stand for headphones or cables! This Kyser Quick Change Capo has got a 12% discount in the sale, and is actually good for literal use as a capo!View Deal

This screwdriver is an absolutely amazing tool that will cover everything you're ever likely to face when setting up a guitar. With the addition of star keys, too, it also covers your interactions with other music gear like pedals and amps. The extra screw ends are stored in the handle, so less chance of losing them, plus you can use it as an impact driver attachment with your drill. For just $17.99, this is one tool no guitar player should be without.View Deal

File sets are typically pretty expensive, and if you're doing proper luthier work, then I would recommend a Hosco or MusicNomad set for cutting brand new nuts or crowning frets. If you just want to slightly adjust your nut, however, this BeiXu File Set will do the job. It comes with a variety of fret dressing tools that are a great option for anyone who wants to get started doing fretwork or adjust a nut without having to spend hundreds of dollars on a file set.View Deal

If buying all of these things individually seems like a pain, or you just don't have the budget for it, this cheap Micling 72-piece tool kit on Amazon isn't bad considering what you get. These tools won't last as long as the ones I've listed above, but for just $11.99, I don't think anyone is expecting them to last for decades. It includes everything you need to set up a guitar: hex wrenches, files, string action rulers, radius gauges, feeler gauges, and a nice bag to store it all.View Deal

I've seen some cracking deals on EHX pedals over the course of Prime Day, and this one is no different. With a massive $121.95 off, you're paying relatively little for a top-quality overdrive pedal. It acts as a 2-channel pedal which gives you the possibility of both classic and modern overdrive tones, and a cab-sim output makes it more flexible than your average overdrive pedal.View Deal

Looper pedals are a great way to both enhance your practice regimen and your live shows. The Ditto+ takes everything great about the original Ditto and adds the ability to save your loops to the pedal. This means you can build a locker of sounds that you can bring into your playing, or just use it to save those moments of inspiration at the tap of a foot.View Deal

The EHX Soul POG is criminally underrated in my opinion. I've had one on my 'board for years now, sitting near the front of my chain to give me a tone boost through the Soul Food and, of course, that delicious octave guitar tone courtesy of the POG. It's super flexible as you can swap the order of the pedals, or use the send and return jacks to insert effects in between the two. With a ginormous $194.90 discount, it's cheaper than just buying a Nano POG by itself, so you're essentially getting the Soul Food for free. Bargain!View Deal

Line 6 created the HX multi-effects unit for those who want a neat, clean and cost-effective effects processor. With $100 off in the Sweetwater sale, you can use the HX to replace your ‘board entirely or simply use it as a complementary option for an existing setup. Although not as stacked as its bigger siblings, there are still over 200 effects, a built-in looper and full MIDI capability for your troubles. I have always loved the compact yet rugged build of the HX and using the momentary switch options for modulation effects is great fun. View Deal

Everyone needs a Tube Screamer-clone on their ‘board, and even at full price this Joyo Overdrive pedal is excellent value for money.

Two sections give you a boost and an overdrive function, making it nice and versatile in use and essentially making it two pedals in one bright green enclosure. View Deal

D’Addario is acoustic guitar string royalty. Although Ernie Ball is on top in the electric world, it’s D’Addario that I see people flock to when they ask me for strings during my music retail job. The 80/20 strings are slightly brighter and snappier than the phosphor bronze alternatives, so if you like things bright, you will love the EJ11s. You can pick up a single set for a 36% discount during Prime Day sales, or if you want to seriously stock up, the 3-pack has a lovely 33% discount.

Keeping your gear clean not only makes it look better but also helps it last longer. Every time you change your strings you should use the opportunity to clean your guitar, and these microfiber cloths work well on a variety of guitar finishes.

They work well with other cleaning products too if you like to use fingerboard conditioner or polish on the guitar body. With 12 in a pack, you’re not likely to run out of them anytime soon either!View Deal

If you’ve recently bought a fresh guitar or you’ve got a few in your collection, having a dedicated strap for each can make things just that little bit easier when switching between your guitars.

The ladder style of adjustment means it will fit a variety of different instruments, and the leather means it will last for years and years. I’ve got a couple of leather straps, and one of them is still going even after 15 years of use!View Deal

A good pair of wire cutters is one of those things that you’ll buy once and then not need to replace for years. All guitarists will be changing strings at one point or another, and these are a nice size for getting into the string at the headstock and cutting them as flush as possible once you’re done winding. They also double as a great pair of cutters for making repairs to guitar cables and other audio cables if you’re the handy sort that likes to make or repair their own cables.View Deal

It’s not the sexiest buy, but a music stand can be a surprisingly useful tool for any kind of musician. I use one for rehearsals as it allows me to have my setlist and notes in front of me which is good prep for when I play live.

It’s a great way to freshen things up and rather than stabbing in the dark, grabbing something like this Dunlop Tortex Variety Pack could be just the primer you need to unlock some extra creativity. I like to switch picks regularly as I play across quite a few different genres, and I find it a really stimulating way to make a big change without spending loads. At just 0.62 cents each, these picks are an absolute steal in the Prime day sale.View Deal

Amazon caused quite a stir when they launched their Basics guitar pedal range, but they’ve also got patch cables on sale which are a much more enticing proposition for me. At $1.78 each, this six-pack of pancake-style cables is an amazing deal, and perfect if you need to top up your pedalboard with some low-cost cables. If you’ve got a ‘board you tend to use at home, then these are plenty durable enough to last a long time.View Deal

Keeping your guitar clean is all part and parcel of your maintenance, and ideally should be done every time you change the strings.

With a 27% reduction in the Prime Day sale, it’s excellent value for money.View Deal

For guitarists looking for their first pedalboard, this is an awesome deal with $20 knocked off the regular price.View Deal

The Fender x Loog models make great first guitars. They're playable, sound great and they look the absolute business, with both seafoam green Telecaster and black Stratocaster models available. There’s no built in amp though, so you’ll need to factor that in.View Deal

The Fender models cost more, so you could consider one of Loog’s standard electrics. It’s the same setup - 3-strings, slim neck, pickup - but with a built-in, battery-powered speaker so they can get playing straight from the box. There’s a huge range of colors available, so you’ll have no problem finding one to suit their style.View Deal

If the idea of an electric guitar is already giving you a headache an acoustic would make a more mellow, budget-friendly option. The nylon strings produce a pleasing warm tone, while the slimline neck is easy on the hands.View Deal

Ernie Ball’s Slinky range is the best-selling string range in the world. With the Paradigm series, the company has supercharged the well-loved Slinkys, making them last longer, have better tuning stability and hold onto their tone for weeks. This is largely thanks to the Everlast nanotechnology utilized. Don’t get this confused with a coating. Everlast nanotechnology is a treatment, meaning you won’t get that annoying flaking after a few weeks like coated strings do. What’s better is that this handy little 2-pack has 16% off during this year’s Prime Say sale

The moniker says it all: if you play heavy and live in drop tunings, then the Jim Dunlop Heavy Core strings are well worth a try. The .011-.050 set has a whopping 47% discount and is perfect for Drop C tuning. Dunlop has designed these strings with a much thicker core wire, meaning when you are in seriously low tunings, the tension won’t be floppy and slack; quite the contrary.

D’Addario is acoustic guitar string royalty. Although Ernie Ball is on top in the electric world, it’s D’Addario that I see people flock to when they ask me for strings during my music retail job. The 80/20 strings are slightly brighter and snappier than the phosphor bronze alternatives, so if you like things bright, you will love the EJ11s. You can pick up a single set for a 36% discount during Prime Day sales, or if you want to seriously stock up, the 3-pack has a lovely 33% discount.

Full price: pay $1.78 per string

Ernie Ball has nailed it with the Earthwood series and my personal favorite is the Phosphor Bronze strings. With an overall warmth and deep lows, they complement just about any big-bodied acoustic very nicely. They are uncoated so they don’t last quite as long as their coated counterparts, but they always feel great when freshly on and with a 22% discount, taking them down to $7.99, there really isn’t much to complain about.

Full price: pay $1.71 per string

Although these are Martin-produced, the Authentic Acoustic Superior Performance strings sing sweetly on any acoustic guitar brand. The Superior Performance part of the strings features higher tensile strength and tin-plated core wire, improving tuning stability and an incredibly balanced tone across all six strings.

Positive Grid Spark Go review ★★★★★View Deal

Line 6 created the HX multi-effects unit for those who want a neat, clean and cost-effective effects processor. With $100 off in the Sweetwater sale, you can use the HX to replace your ‘board entirely or simply use it as a complementary option for an existing setup. Although not as stacked as its bigger siblings, there are still over 200 effects, a built-in looper and full MIDI capability for your troubles. I have always loved the compact yet rugged build of the HX and using the momentary switch options for modulation effects is great fun. View Deal

The Helix LT delivers the core power of Line 6’s flagship Helix in a streamlined, more affordable package, and right now it’s $100 off at Sweetwater. You still get access to over 200 effects, over 80 amps and 60 cabinets, with a user-friendly layout that is ideal for gigging and recording. Sure, you lose the scribble strips and a few ins and outs, but the tone engine is identical. Pound for pound, it’s one of the most capable modelers on the market. If you’re a session musician or simply want to try Helix, this is a great opportunity to do so and save some money. View Deal

For those studio geeks and home recording enthusiasts, if you have not yet been acquainted with the Helix Native plugin, allow us to introduce you. With an incredibly generous $160 off at Sweetwater, this package delivers over 60 amps, 30 cabs, and 100 effects to use alongside your DAW of choice. I’ve used the Native plugin before, and the first thing I noticed was how well Line 6 translated the easy-to-dial-in functionality to a computer. It makes playing guitar through your laptop fun again!View Deal

If you’re looking for a cheap pedal deal for Prime Day then this Electro-Harmonix Lizard Queen for less than half price is one of the best.

With this 12-pack sampler from Fender, you get a nice variety of thicknesses to choose from, giving you a quick and low-cost way to change the way you play, and potentially open up a new array of riffs and licks.View Deal

It’s boring, but buying strings is a necessity for all guitarists, so you might as well get them cheaper. This deal on D’Addario XL strings doesn’t look like much in terms of money, but it’s 16% off, which is nothing to sniff at. It’s on the 10-46 set which will suit the vast majority of guitarists, and it’s a nice deal to chuck in with some other essentials you might be buying from Amazon during Prime Day.View Deal

If you’ve recently bought a fresh guitar or you’ve got a few in your collection, having a dedicated strap for each can make things just that little bit easier when switching between your guitars. This Levy’s Leather Strap has a nice width, which makes it super comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The ladder style of adjustment means it will fit a variety of different instruments, and the leather means it will last for years and years. I’ve got a couple of leather straps, and one of them is still going even after 15 years of use!View Deal

Arguably the most boring of all the boring items on this list, these cable wraps may be dull, but they will make your life much easier. As a regularly gigging musician, studio engineer, and gear reviewer, I’ve got myriad different cables in my home studio and earlier in the year I decided to finally get my house in order. I bought these exact cable wraps because of the different colors, which allowed me to color-code depending on the use of the particular cable. Cable management isn’t the most exciting thing but it’s worth investing some time into it now, because you’ll reap the benefits later on. I even use them on my pedalboard to tie my patch cables together underneath, as they hold well and are easier to unwrap if I need to make adjustments.View Deal

A good pair of wire cutters is one of those things that you’ll buy once and then not need to replace for years. All guitarists will be changing strings at one point or another, and these are a nice size for getting into the string at the headstock and cutting them as flush as possible once you’re done winding. They also double as a great pair of cutters for making repairs to guitar cables and other audio cables if you’re the handy sort that likes to make or repair their own cables.View Deal

Another purchase I made years ago that I haven’t had to do again was some good-quality Velcro. This stuff is ridiculously strong, so much so that sometimes I genuinely struggle to get my pedals off my pedalboard when I’m reordering them. While I might have to put some elbow grease in every now and then to get them off, it does give me a lot of satisfaction that the pedals on my ‘board aren’t going anywhere, no matter where I take them. There’s plenty of length here to stick to a large assortment of pedals, and it's easy enough to cut it to size.View Deal

Keeping your gear clean not only makes it look better but also helps it last longer. Every time you change your strings you should use the opportunity to clean your guitar, and these microfiber cloths work well on a variety of guitar finishes. The soft surface of the microfiber means the chances of scratching your guitar are minimal, even if it has a more delicate nitrocellulose finish. They work well with other cleaning products too if you like to use fingerboard conditioner or polish on the guitar body. With 12 in a pack, you’re not likely to run out of them anytime soon either!View Deal

With the easy availability of smartphones with top-quality cameras and the addition of a cheap phone tripod like this one from Sensyne, I never want to see a badly angled guitar video again. If you like to post your playing on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or anywhere else, this phone tripod is a great way to get a more professional look to your guitar videos. It’s adjustable to 62 inches in height, so you can play standing up if you prefer, and it also doubles as a selfie stick, so you can take it on holiday with you too!View Deal

If you want to outfit your pedalboard for less, then this is a great deal that beats anything I’ve seen at Amazon thus far. With a gigantic discount of $104.99 on the large cable kit, you’re getting 15 patch cables of great quality and varying lengths for just $3 each. It’s the perfect way to neaten up that pedalboard ahead of any summer and Autumn shows, or just make life easier for you practicing at home.View Deal

Squier’s Debut Series was created at an ultra-low price point in order to take on Amazon’s cheap guitar sellers at their own game. At $118.99, it is the most affordable Strat and Tele in the Fender line-up, and a contender for the best budget beginner electric guitars available right now. View Deal
