Sweetwater Black Friday deals 2026: With up to 60% off, Sweetwater's early sale is genuinely massive

Grabbing a full five-star rating in our review, this Fender American Vintage II 1961 Strat has a massive $500 price reduction in the Sweetwater Black Friday sale. The black finish with gold hardware is a Sweetwater exclusive, and for us, it's one of the best vintage remodels Fender has ever made.

The Spark Mini has been a runaway success, and it's easy to see why. This clever little amp gives players all the features they loved about the original, but in a smaller, even more practical format - and for the rest of Prime Day, you can save a hefty $75. This is an amp a number of our team members keep on their desks at all times and is their go-to practice amp.

If you're building or rebuilding a pedalboard for Black Friday, this deal on the Ernie Ball Flat Ribbon Multipack is a great way to save by buying in bulk. Working out at $5.89 per cable, it's got a variety of lengths going from 3 to 24 inches, and the cables are colored bright red to make them easy to see on stage.

With a $140 discount on a single Adam Audio A4V studio monitor, if you buy a pair you’re getting $280 off, which is a hefty chunk of change. These 4-inch monitors are perfect for smaller home studio setups where too much volume will be difficult to handle, giving you superb clarity in smaller spaces. The ribbon tweeter delivers delicious definition to your mixes while the onboard DSP allows you to fine-tune the monitors' response to your particular space.

Another product that has reviewed favouraby since launch, the ToneWoodAmp ToneWoodAmp2 is so good they named it twice. It will fit pretty much any electro-acoustic, and offers a massive improvement on the stock preamps that come with such guitars. With a great selection of effects, an excellent app, powerful EQ and tone-shaping tools, and a healthy $40 discount, this is a great buy for any acoustic guitar player.

If you're looking for a personal recommendation, here's one from me. I've been using the Eventide Knife Drop, made in conjunction with Jack White's Third Man Hardware, on my pedalboard for the last year or so. It delivers some seriously wild synth guitar tones, with an additional octave-up and octave-down tones. Unpredictable and totally unique, it's got a nice $29.90 discount in the sale.

Another piece of drool-worthy gear with a gigantic discount, the PRS DGT 15 has a healthy $450 off the regular price, pulling it down to below a grand. Its all-tube design delivers a sweet blend of vintage tones with amazing sustain, and it's relatively light and portable for a tube combo.

If you're looking for an all-in-one solution to your guitar rig, the Line 6 POD Go is an excellent multi-effects pedal that can play a lot of roles. It's got $100 off in the sale, features HX amp and effects models that are incredibly good quality, and is lightweight and portable enough to take anywhere.

If you’re recording at home, you’re going to need an audio interface, and the PreSonus Quantum HD 2 is a great option for guitar players. In our PreSonus Quantum HD 2 review, my colleague Pete said, “It’s quite squarely aimed at us guitarists by virtue of its feature set and how the associated blurb reiterates PreSonus’ collaboration with parent company Fender. My approach was to consider this as a guitarist first, and within this context, it impresses.”

I’m a big fan of Lewitt microphones, and this LCT 240 Pro condenser microphone is really great value for money at well below the $150 mark thanks to a $40 discount. As well as delivering superb detail and clarity to recordings, it also includes a shock mount and specifically designed pop filter for the microphone to keep your plosives in check. It also comes with windshield should you need to use it in noisy environments, and a carry case to keep it in good condition.
