Black Friday Andertons 2022 deals are still out there: the best deals from their biggest sale

Fender MIJ Limited Edition Traditional Mustang Reverse Headstock In 3 Colour Sunburst (was £1,249.00, now £999.00)
Fenders that combine a humbucker in the bridge with a single-coil in the neck are massively overlooked by the company in our opinion. But here it's realised for a hugely versatile guitar. And it's basswood which makes for a lighter weight in our experience.

Ableton Live 11 Suite (was £539, now £431)
A premium discount on a premium DAW. Abelton Live should need no introduction and this suite is the full bells-and-whistles experience

Walrus Badwater Bass Preamp: was £299, now £249
For an excellent pedal only released earlier in 2022, this represents another great Walrus pedal deal. This is a proper bass essential; a great platform for your pedalboard or recording with a built-in optical compressor, drive circuit and comprehensive EQ section. XLR and 1/4" outputs allow to run to the mixing desk and your amp simultaneously.  

Soldano Slo-mini 30w Guitar Amp Head (was £219, now £199)

This recently released limited edition in Seafoam Green for £349 is a lot of guitar with £100 off the asking price (rare on Squiers) and a proper offset experience with the floating bridge and Fender-designed pickups that we found give a superb reflection of Jazzmaster poke and jangle. 

Walrus Julia V2 Platinum: £199, now £119
One of the best chorus pedals out there with a very rare 40% off saving and in a limited edition Platinum finish – what a combination. Lush analogue chorus and vibrato tones aplenty and this latest V2 version also offers momentary switching for quick bursts as required.

Shure SM7B: was $399, now $359, save $40
If you buy just one microphone in your lifetime, the Shure SM7B deserves a place on your shortlist.
