Guitar pedals, the cause of and solution to all of a guitarist's problems. These fabulous oblong boxes enable your guitar tone to soar to great new heights, but many players fly too close to the sun and end up in financial ruin, with nothing to show for it except a pile of Tube Screamer clones and an expensive Klon they're scared to stomp on. Well, luckily, companies such as Joyo, Donner, and Mooer exist, producing affordable pedals that allow you to go crazy with effects without breaking the bank. Many models have been cheaper than ever for this year's 4-day Prime Day event - with the cheapest option starting at just $20.79 - but Prime Day ends at midnight tonight, and so do those delicious prices.

Now, don't get us wrong, we love a premium pedal here at Guitar Player. Still, with technology coming on leaps and bounds in recent years, it's becoming easier to pick up a great-sounding pedal at an affordable price, as these epic Prime Day guitar deals prove.

Below, I've listed a few affordable favorites, but I also encourage you to take a look for yourself, as there are plenty of deals worth snapping up.
