Gear4music Black Friday deals 2025: The Black Friday sale is here with some great offers for musicians

The Gear4music Black Friday deals are finally here, and with savings on 100s of different items, it's a great place to pick up a deal on music gear. You can bag yourself some top savings on a range of instruments, from electric guitars and pedals to music production gear and electronic drums.

I've personally shopped at Gear4music this year, picking up a copy of FabFilter Pro-Q 4 with a huge £53 reduction. It's as cheap as I've seen it anywhere this year, and as one of the most usable EQs for surgical work in music production, it's a worthy investment for any engineer or producer.

I also spotted this amazing saving on a pair of Adam Audio T7Vs, where you can bag a pair for just £299. These are incredibly high-quality studio monitors and at this price, insanely good value for money.

Below, we've provided links to each section of the sale to help you navigate to where you want to go quickly. I've also highlighted some great deals, as well as providing some useful advice on how to shop the Black Friday sales, based on our experience of covering - and shopping - the event.

FabFilter Pro-Q 4: was £149 now £96 at Gear 4 Music

I bought this exact deal this year because I needed a copy of Pro-Q 4, and because Gear4music had the lowest price I could find in the sales. Most places had only discounted it to the £100 mark, so if you want the absolute cheapest price this is the place to get it.

Gear4music Black Friday deals: Shopping tips

Got your eye on a few things at Gear4Music 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 Gear4Music 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.
