Boss RE-2 Space Echo: $259.99, $218.23
It's not got the biggest discount, but there's no doubt the Boss RE-2 Space Echo is one of the best delay pedals money can buy right now. It's currently got a 16% discount in the Amazon Prime Day sale, taking its price down to a tempting $218.23.
Donner Verb Square: Was $69.99, now $49.99
Our pick as one of the best budget reverb pedals around, the Donner Verb Square is now down to an even lower price of just $49.99. Packed with 7 different sounds for you to experiment with, it’s great for traditional reverb tones and we particularly loved the Spring setting. It’s also really small so will fit on even the most packed pedalboard.
Boss SD-1: Was $74.99, now $62.99
One of the most flexible overdrive pedals you can buy, the Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive is great for stacking with other drive pedals in your signal chain. It’s not got the biggest discount we’ve ever seen, but it’s already excellent value for money so any reduction is a bonus in our book!

First and foremost, I'm a guitar enthusiast – a fanatic, some might say. I'm a firm believer that most of the world's problems can be solved with a Gibson SG and a catastrophically loud amp. Before writing about guitars for a living as a Senior Deals Writer on Guitar Player, I worked in music retail for 7 years, giving advice on guitars, basses, drums, pianos, and PA systems. I also have a passion for live sound; I'm a fully qualified sound engineer with experience working in various venues in Scotland.
