Regularly topping ‘best of’ lists across all genres of amplifiers, this brilliant modeling amp is a firm favourite of ours thanks to its ease of use and tonal versatility. This 100-watt version is powerful enough to gig with, whilst still being usable at home thanks to the power attenuation options.

Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH Roasted: £349, £259

Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH Roasted: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_fusion_iii_hsh_roasted_fch.htm?offid=1&affid=195&subid=hawk-custom-tracking" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">£349, £259
We’ll get started with the stone-cold bargain that is the Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH Roasted in Trans Flame Cherry, which has somehow managed to lose over £80 (almost 25%) off its regular price of £349. Ask a guitar designer to write down all of the specs required to make an all-rounder electric in 2023 and we think you’ll find many of them here. This do-it-all, bound-body doublecut has got a roasted maple neck (and fingerboard), stainless steel frets, a third-party vibrato from Wilkinson (50IIK), and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The H-S-H pickup configuration (Roswell HAF humbuckers and an S74 single coil) with a five-way will see you right for a whole range of tones and styles, plus those humbuckers can be split via the push/pull tone pot.

Harley Benton CLA-15M SolidWood: £259, now £225

Harley Benton CLA-15M SolidWood: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_cla_15m_solidwood.htm?offid=1&affid=195&subid=hawk-custom-tracking" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">£259, now £225
Looking for an affordable acoustic? Then look no further! This Auditorium-shaped beauty from Harley Benton ticks multiple boxes in one go: the solid Okoume top, back and sides mean that you get a studio-ready sound from the off, but at a price point that means this could easily be your ‘round-the-house’ or campfire strummer. Elsewhere its got a 643mm scale length, none nut and saddle, antique copper-finished tuners, and it’s finished in a classy natural matte. 

Squier Contemporary Strat Special: £229, now £175

Squier Contemporary Strat Special: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/gb/squier_contemp_strat_special_vwt.htm?offid=1&affid=195&subid=hawk-custom-tracking" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">£229, now £175
The unusual pickup configuration of this Strat offers some truly unique tones, as well as a mix of classic Strat sounds in the mix too. We love that this guitar offers something a little different from the usual, and we also love the £54 discount in the Cyberweek sale at Thomann. The build quality of this guitar is outstanding, far exceeding any expectations you might have from the name on the headstock alone. The roasted maple neck plays gloriously well, and we think the unique paint jobs make this guitar stand out from the crowd.

Packing a huge selection of amp models, cabinet IRs, and effects models, this powerful floor modeler proves that great sound doesn’t have to cost you thousands and currently you can get it for even less! Thomann even includes a free power cable when you purchase, so you can hit the ground running as soon as it arrives. All of the built-in effects can be used in glorious stereo, there’s recording via USB for making your own music, as well as plenty of outputs for sending your glorious amp tone to front of house.

One of our top picks for the best guitar tuners, the Peterson StroboStomp impressed with its pinpoint accuracy and super bright display. There are loads of presets for various open and alternate tunings, making this one of the most comprehensive guitar tuners you can buy today. This limited edition gold version will look super cool on your pedalboard, and features ‘sweetened tunings’ which take into account the minuscule differences in tuning across the fretboard to give you a better-sounding instrument. It’s currently got a £70 saving over at Thomann, making it incredible value for money.

The smaller cousin of one of the most hyped guitar pedal releases of the last few years, the MXR Duke of Tone takes everything great about The King of Tone and makes it smaller and now even more affordable. On the face of it, a £31 discount isn’t huge, but this pedal was already outstanding value, so the extra money off just makes it that little bit sweeter. Whether you want to push a clean amp harder, stack it with other drive pedals, or just some straight hard clipping, this versatile stompbox can do it all.

Wampler Tumnus Deluxe: £189/$215 £166/€189

Wampler Tumnus Deluxe: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/gb/wampler_tumnus_deluxe_overdrive_v2.htm?offid=1&affid=195&subid=hawk-custom-tracking" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">£189/$215 £166/€189

We're seeing other retailers charging as much as £207 for this in Europe so this is a fantastic deal on one of the very best overdrive pedals available. Imagine a Klon Centaur with even more options and the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe is your only compact port of call: adding a three-band active EQ, optional higher gain mode and selectable true/buffered bypass modes into the mix. This is a gold standard. 

Wampler Tumnus V2 overdrive pedal: £166 £118/€134&nbsp;

Wampler Tumnus V2 overdrive pedal: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/gb/wampler_tumnus_overdrive_v2.htm?offid=1&affid=195&subid=hawk-custom-tracking" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">£166 £118/€134 

No other retailer can get close to Thomann's price on this in Europe right now. The V2 has a new case design, but it's the same great Tumnus and the best quality/value take on the Klon Centaur out there that we've tried. Use the Tumnus to enhance your clean tone, boost or higher gain crunch – it's an incredibly versatile overdrive that packs huge value into its mini pedal dimensions.  

GEWA G9 Club 5 E-drums: Was £3,699, now £2,999

GEWA G9 Club 5 E-drums: <a href="https://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_g9_pro_l5_e_drum_set.htm?offid=1&affid=195&subid=hawk-custom-tracking" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Was £3,699, now £2,999
Thomann has stripped £650 off the price of the GEWA G9 Club 5 electronic drum set. The G9 is GEWA’s flagship series, and the Studio 5 sees the G9 module paired with some gorgeous-looking real wood drum shells for an authentic aesthetic and playing experience. The module features a large 10” touchscreen and inside there’s 901 sounds split into 40 kits, with space for 128 kits of your own. It’s comprehensive on the effects too, with an EQ and compressor per-pad, a multi-FX processor with 9 effects, and 12 types of room reverb. With £700 off, we don’t think we’ll see the G9 with this much discount again any time soon!

If you’re looking for a budget home recording solution, we reckon you’ll be hard-pushed to find anything better value for money than the Mackie Creator Bundle. Packing a condenser microphone, a pair of studio monitors, and a pair of studio headphones all for well below £100, this already excellent value-for-money package just got that much better in the Thomann Cyberweek sale. 

It’s got a £43 discount at the moment, which for our money makes it one of the cheapest home recording bundles you can get right now. For those who want to get started recording their own music, podcast, or audio for their YouTube channel it's a great option. The bundle even includes all the cables you need to get you started too.

We’ll get started with the stone-cold bargain that is the Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH Roasted in Trans Flame Cherry, which has somehow managed to lose over £80 (almost 25%) off its regular price of £349. Ask a guitar designer to write down all of the specs required to make an all-rounder electric in 2023 and we think you’ll find many of them here. This do-it-all, bound-body doublecut has got a roasted maple neck (and fingerboard), stainless steel frets, a third-party vibrato from Wilkinson (50IIK), and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The H-S-H pickup configuration (Roswell HAF humbuckers and an S74 single coil) with a five-way will see you right for a whole range of tones and styles, plus those humbuckers can be split via the push/pull tone pot.

Next up is one for fans of retro garage-rock guitar tones. Harley Benton’s MR range pays homage to the classic Mosrites favoured by The Ramones and Kurt Cobain. We were impressed with the MR-Modern <a href="https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/harley-benton-mr-modern-guitar" data-link-merchant="musicradar.com"" data-link-merchant="thomann.de"">when we reviewed it, and now you can snag one with a sizeable 30% discount, bringing it in at £174. It’s got an alder body, Canadian maple neck, 22 stainless steel frets, a Wilkinson VS-50II vibrato, and a pair of Artec AHC-90, soapbar-sized humbuckers. The offer only applies to the Candy Apple Red finish option, but frankly, it’s a ridiculous price for the spec.

When it comes to versatile guitar tone for jazz, blues and classic rock, a semi-acoustic is hard to beat. Here, Harley Benton’s take on the most famous semi of all delivers all of the essential ingredients, and right now you can get it for under £150. The body is, of course, made of maple and there’s a mahogany centre block keeping sustain up and feedback down. Sticking to the traditional format, it’s fitted with dual humbuckers, 2x volume and 2x tone controls and a Tune-O-Matic-style fixed bridge. The deal price is for the works-for-everyone Black finish, and at this price, there’s tons of scope for modding too!

Looking for an affordable acoustic? Then look no further! This Auditorium-shaped beauty from Harley Benton ticks multiple boxes in one go: the solid Okoume top, back and sides mean that you get a studio-ready sound from the off, but at a price point that means this could easily be your ‘round-the-house’ or campfire strummer. Elsewhere its got a 643mm scale length, none nut and saddle, antique copper-finished tuners, and it’s finished in a classy natural matte.

Hybrid electric/acoustic guitars are right on trend at the moment, offering magnetic, electric tones alongside genuine acoustic guitar sounds simultaneously. Harley Benton’s offering in the market is the Hybrid Steel, and it's, ahem… taylored to that purpose. The slimline, feedback-fighting body is made of solid African mahogany (as is the neck), while the top is solid spruce, and it’s got a rosewood fingerboard too. The electronic side is where it gets really interesting, with a magnetic single coil and under-saddle piezo taking care of both sound types. You can blend between the two for electric, acoustic or a mix of both sounds, making this a chameleon of a stage guitar for just over £300.

For just over £100, the Harley Benton DNAfx GiT will supply you with 55 amp emulations, 151 effects and 26 speaker cab impulse responses. We’d be happy with that, but HB has also thrown in an onboard 85 second looper, drum machine, and a fully-functioning USB audio interface! It’s got smart capabilities with the OTG function, which allows you to hook the pedal up to your phone or tablet for easy audio/video recording and live streaming. It’s even got an expression pedal on the side! Don’t think too hard, just snap it up before it’s gone.

Throw in the full suite of Boss’ studio-quality effects and you’ll soon see why everyone raves about this awesome amplifier.

One of our top picks for the best guitar tuners, the Peterson StroboStomp impressed with its pinpoint accuracy and super bright display. There are loads of presets for various open and alternate tunings, making this one of the most comprehensive guitar tuners you can buy today. This limited edition gold version will look super cool on your pedalboard, and features ‘sweetened tunings’ which take into account the minuscule differences in tuning across the fretboard to give you a better-sounding instrument. It’s currently got a £70 saving over at Thomann, making it incredible value for money.

MXR Duke of Tone: Was £189, now £155

The smaller cousin of one of the most hyped guitar pedal releases of the last few years, the MXR Duke of Tone takes everything great about The King of Tone and makes it smaller and now even more affordable. On the face of it, a £31 discount isn’t huge, but this pedal was already outstanding value, so the extra money off just makes it that little bit sweeter. Whether you want to push a clean amp harder, stack it with other drive pedals, or just some straight hard clipping, this versatile stompbox can do it all.

Squier Contemporary Strat Special: £229, now £175

The unusual pickup configuration of this Strat offers some truly unique tones, as well as a mix of classic Strat sounds in the mix too. We love that this guitar offers something a little different from the usual, and we also love the £54 discount in the Cyberweek sale at Thomann. 

The build quality of this guitar is outstanding, far exceeding any expectations you might have from the name on the headstock alone. The roasted maple neck plays gloriously well, and we think the unique paint jobs make this guitar stand out from the crowd.

If you’re looking for a budget home recording solution, we reckon you’ll be hard-pushed to find anything better value for money than the Mackie Creator Bundle. Packing a condenser microphone, a pair of studio monitors, and a pair of studio headphones all for well below £100, this already excellent value-for-money package just got that much better in the Thomann Cyberweek sale. It’s got a £43 discount at the moment, which for our money makes it one of the cheapest home recording bundles you can get right now. For those who want to get started recording their own music, podcast, or audio for their YouTube channel it's a great option. The bundle even includes all the cables you need to get you started too.

With £700 off, we don’t think we’ll see the G9 with this much discount again any time soon!

Thomann Black Friday deals FAQ

Does Thomann do Black Friday?

There was a time when Thomann didn't run any official Black Friday offers, however there is always a bargain to be had on the site, so technically every day is Black Friday.

That said, for the last couple of years the Euro-giant has entered the fray big time, with hundreds of deals running for a full week from Black Friday itself - usually called Cyber Week by Thomann - and well into the following week, with a whole raft of reductions across a hand-picked range of products covering guitars, amps, pedals, synths, drums and more. 

Last year they called it their Cyber Week Sale, and it delivered savings of up to 60% on hardware and an even bigger 80% off selected software. You can see a few examples of last year's deals further down the page.

When do the Thomann Black Friday deals start?

The Black Friday Thomann sale itself - also know as the Cyber Week sale - will kick off at 12.01am on Friday 17 November, and finish on Monday 27 November. There's a countdown on the Thomann site here.

Although the official event doesn't take place until this date, just like most retailers, we predict that some Thomann Black Friday offers may start rolling out much sooner. 

Last year's Cyber Week sale started on Black Friday itself and carried on well into the following week, including Cyber Monday, meaning there were many opportunities to grab a bargain.

Some retailers started slashing prices from as early as mid-October, and didn't stop until well into December.

What deals can I expect?

Thomann stocks pretty much everything any musician could ever want, so it's a great place to go if you want to give your studio an overhaul, upgrade your guitar rig, expand your drum kit or start learning a new instrument. You might head to the website planning to buy an electric guitar, but the company also sells all the music making products you could ever wish for: MIDI keyboards, studio monitors, beginner digital pianos and much more.

The Thomann Black Friday sale could also be the time to stock up on those music making accessories that we would deem essential: we're talking things like acoustic guitar strings, guitar tuners and guitar straps. If you can make music with it, it's more than likely that Thomann will stock it, and it may just enjoy some sort of discount on Black Friday.

Of course, Thomann has become well known globally for its fantastic budget brands too, including the formidable Millenium drums and Harley Benton. This line of guitar gear is cheap enough as it is, but last year there were some particularly strong HB discounts on Black Friday. Stock will be limited on the very best Harley Benton deals, so you'll need to act fast to get your hands on one. We'll keep you posted and share the latest news here as we get it. You can check out our guide to the best Harley Benton guitars to learn what to look for. 

Last year, Thomann's massive Cyber Week sale included up to 60% off a range of music gear, plus up to 80% off a selection of software.

Is Harley Benton a good brand?

You only have to take a look at some of our recent Harley Benton reviews (see links below) to see that we're big fans of the brand. We've been putting their gear - which includes guitars, basses, amps and effects - through its paces for many years now and we've seen the variety of options available and the quality of the instruments get better and better, all while prices have remained firmly in the budget camp. 

So, consider us big fans, then. 

Thomann Black Friday deals: How to prepare

Got your eye on a few things at Thomann and wondering whether Black Friday is the time to buy? Here's a few tips from our personal experience that will ensure you're ready to strike if the gear you want is up for grabs:

1. Create a wishlist early - The most sensible way to take advantage of this year's Thomann Black Friday music deals is to know in advance what you’re looking for. This will make searching much easier, rather than having to trawl through loads of deals you don’t want to find the ones you do, or pondering things you don't need. To help you create your dream shopping list, take the time to explore our expert and up-to-date buying guides and reviews.

2. Work out what you actually need - Check out your favourite brands, see what you need and will genuinely use - don’t waste your cash and fill your basket with stuff that will never truly see any action.

3. Consider your music goals - What do you want to achieve with your music over the next 12 months or so? Do you want to gig more? Learn a new instrument? Or finally record your songs? Now could be the time to invest in gear that helps you fulfil your musical aspirations.

4. Streamline your current gear - Something else you should consider ahead of time is whether you have enough space in your collection for new gear. Could you offload some gear you don't use to make room and generate funds for some new gear? 

5. Sign up to mailing lists - In addition to bookmarking this page, we'd recommend signing up to Thomann's mailing list now to get the jump on the best deals when they do come around.

6. Get clued up on current prices - that way you'll know how good a deal really is when you see it reduced on Black Friday. Some supposed 'savings' aren't everything that they seem.

First and foremost, we are players and creators, and we want to match like-minded folk with the right products for them, at the best prices.

For us to recommend a deal on music gear it has to be a product we rate that’s a genuinely great price or part of a truly fantastic bundle. It’s also important that we only recommend retailers where you will have a positive shopping experience.

Why you can trust our choices

We spend a lot of our time scouring retailers for fantastic deals on our favorite music gear. Not only is it our job to research and recommend the best gear in our buyer’s guides and reviews, but we’re also dedicated to helping musicians get the best deals on the stuff they need, too. After all, the only thing better than new gear day is a hearty discount.

We cover a lot of the big sales events throughout the year, including Memorial Day4th of July sales and Amazon Prime Day, and we have a good view on which products are likely to receive the biggest discounts and when, the prices they’ve been in the past and which deals are genuinely worth a look.
