It’s well known that Amazon isn’t the best place for guitarists to shop, and while the latest Amazon Prime Big Deals Day might be great for deals on a pair of AirPods, there’s not much for guitarists.  Not all is lost if you’re looking for a good deal though, as Positive Grid is offering up some excellent discounts with up to 20% off their smart amps, Riff audio interface, and some select accessories.

The sale isn’t huge, but we’ve saved you some time by picking out the best deals below. We’ve also done some quick calculations for you too, so you can see what the actual reduction is in case rather than a percentage amount. If you’re shopping from the UK or EU you can still grab a great deal, but just note some of the reductions may differ from what we’ve stated here.

If you do want to wait for Black Friday, we’d recommend checking out our Black Friday guitar deals hub for all the biggest savings before the Cyber Weekend arrives. We’ll be regularly updating it, so it’s worth bookmarking the page and checking back, as we’ll have the scoop on all the early Black Friday deals and the best offers from the weekend itself. 

Positive Grid Spark + Travel Bag: $359, $269.25

The Positive Grid Spark amp was a revelation when it first arrived, and it’s still just as relevant today. This deal sees it bundled with a dedicated Travel Bag that lets you take your great tones on the road, as well as providing ample space for any accessories you need. Bought together they’ve got a huge $89.75 discount, taking the price down to just $269.25. It’s a 25% reduction, and a surprisingly big amount considering we’ve still got a while to go before the big Black Friday offers land. 

Positive Grid Riff: Was $99, now $69

Positive Grid Riff: Was $99, now $69
Getting a full-fledged, one-in, one-out audio interface for just $69 is frankly insane value for money. A $30 discount may not sound like much, but as it retails at $99 normally it’s quite a significant bit of money off the regular price. The Riff delivers excellent quality recordings that will do just as well on demos as it will on proper songs for your band. 

Positive Grid Spark Mini: Was $229, now $199

Positive Grid Spark Mini: Was $229, now $199
It’s no secret how much we love the Positive Grid Spark Mini here at Guitar Player, so we’re super chuffed to see it get a discount for Amazon Prime Big Deals Day. This diminutive practice amp packs a punch, delivering a top-class tone that fits nicely on your desk. It’s got a $30 discount at the moment which isn’t loads, but for an amp of this quality, any discount is only going to improve its value for money. 

Positive Grid Spark Pearl: Was $299, now $239.20

If all your home decor is white, you’re going to love this one. The Positive Grid Spark Pearl is available for just $239.20 over at Amazon, which is a significant discount of $59.80 off the regular price of $299. With loads of realistic amp tones, accurately modeled stompboxes, and tonnes of fantastic practice tools, the PG Spark is a powerful tool for any guitarist, whether beginner or veteran.
