Prime Day is here, and with it, a deluge of deals on guitar gear. As well as savings on loads of accessories like strings, straps, capos, and guitar hangers, we’ve spotted a nice selection of pedals available with some huge discounts on massive guitar brands, perfect for filling that gap in your pedalboard.

Traditionally Prime Day hasn't been a great place for guitarists to score deals on gear, but with each passing year, I’ve seen more and more manufacturers get involved, moving it beyond just a good chance to stock up on strings. Nowadays there are loads of great Prime Day guitar deals available, whether you want to buy a great value electric guitar or in this particular case, some fresh guitar pedals.

I’ve had a look through the entire sale to see what’s available, and more than a few guitar pedals have caught my eye already. As with a lot of Prime Day deals, there are only a limited number of items available, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Joyo Overdrive: Was $59.99, now $41.99

Don't want to spend loads on a clone? Well even at full price this Joyo Overdrive is excellent value for money. With a 30% reduction, it's down to just $41.99 in the Prime Day sale at Amazon, perfect for filling a gap on your pedalboard or helping you start building your first one. It's essentially two pedals in one thanks to the additional boost function, and you can even change the order in which they work for extra flexibility.

Catalinbread Csidman: Was $206.13, now $157.49

Catalinbread Csidman: Was $206.13, now $157.49
This isn't a classic tape delay emulation pedal. The Catalinbread Csidman is a unique delay stompbox that’ll totally freshen up your guitar tone. Packed with glitch-heavy, stuttering delays, the standard controls make it easy to dial in sounds that are completely different from any other delay pedal out there. Prepare for increasingly unnerving, feedback-induced delay throws that respond to your picking dynamics. Not one for those who love traditional delay tones, this is a pedal for those who like to stand out from the crowd.

Zoom G1X FOUR: Was $119.99, now $85.49

Zoom G1X FOUR: Was $119.99, now $85.49
When it comes to beginner multi-effects pedals few do it better than Zoom. The G1X Four is perfect for beginner players who want to learn more about effects and decide which are their favorites before pursuing more advanced stompboxes. With a $34.50 discount for Prime Day, it's a great opportunity to bag a comprehensive multi-effects that will cover all the bases for less.

Ross Compressor: Was $189, now $160.60

Ross Compressor: Was $189, now $160.60
The Ross Compressor was the most sought-after of Ross pedals before their recent reissue. The Ross compression sound is super squishy and far from subtle, so if you like a lot of tweakability in your compressors then look away now. If you want a distinctive sound then it's excellent value with a $28.40 discount for Prime Day.

Donner Triple Looper: Was $79.99, now $59.99

Donner Triple Looper: Was $79.99, now $59.99
Even if you're not performing live a looper pedal is an incredibly useful tool to have on your pedalboard. A good looper helps you practice your soloing, write songs, nail your timing, and offers a way to add some extra sonics to your setup. The small but mighty Donner Triple Looper ticks all of the above boxes for us, and with a $20 discount bringing it down to just $59.99, it's one of the best value pedal deals we've seen this Prime Day.
