Akai MPC One: was $899, now $699
If you’re easily distracted working on the computer, then we’d heartily recommend the Akai MPC, a standalone production center with an intuitive workflow. Utilized by Kanye West, Mark Ronson, and J Dilla, this unassuming box of tricks has been a secret weapon of electronic music for decades now. It’s currently got $200 off in the Musician’s Friend Black Friday sale - giving you a full production studio in a portable unit.

AKG K52 Headphones: $49.99, $29.99
Found in studios all over the world, these closed-back headphones are great for tracking, mixing, or just listening to your favorite tunes. With a solid low end, defined mids, and articulate highs they really let the mix shine, making your EQ moves easier and issues more apparent. For a pair of headphones this good - the $29.99 asking price in the Musician’s Friend Black Friday deals makes them a no-brainer.

Supro Delta King 10: $599, $399
A regular feature in our best-of lists and guides, we couldn’t believe it when we saw Musician’s Friend had knocked $200 off this brilliant boutique tube combo.
