Thomann Black Friday deals 2024: The early Cyberweek sale is live now!

Slate Digital ML-1: Now £287 at Thomann
Slate Digital’s ML-1 has nearly 50% off the regular price. It’s a modelling mic that can imitate eight different legendary microphones, and expansion packs can increase that number. From the U-47 to the Sony C800G, the ML-1 can perform a variety of other roles thanks to its brilliant modelling tech, making it a great shout for someone who needs versatility but doesn’t want to buy loads of different mics.

Harley Benton CLA-15M SolidWood: £259, now £249
Looking for an affordable acoustic? Then look no further! This Auditorium-shaped beauty from Harley Benton ticks multiple boxes in one go: the solid Okoume top, back and sides mean that you get a studio-ready sound from the off, but at a price point that means this could easily be your ‘round-the-house’ or campfire strummer. Elsewhere its got a 643mm scale length, none nut and saddle, antique copper-finished tuners, and it’s finished in a classy natural matte.

Yamaha P-145 B: Was £399, now £349
Yamaha's P-45 was most definitely one of the most popular beginner pianos on the market, and the latest iteration builds on the previous generation but manages to shrink the model to an even more compact size, making it more portable. This unit is still firmly new, so we are surprised to see it discount for Black Friday. Read our full Yamaha P-145 review.

Harley Benton DNAfx GiT Pro: Was £255, now £226
Packing a huge selection of amp models, cabinet IRs, and effects models, this powerful floor modeler proves that great sound doesn’t have to cost you thousands and currently you can get it for even less! Thomann even includes a free power cable when you purchase, so you can hit the ground running as soon as it arrives. All of the built-in effects can be used in glorious stereo, there’s recording via USB for making your own music, as well as plenty of outputs for sending your glorious amp tone to front of house.

MXR Duke of Tone: Was £189, now £139
The smaller cousin of one of the most hyped guitar pedal releases of the last few years, the MXR Duke of Tone takes everything great about The King of Tone and makes it smaller and now even more affordable. On the face of it, a £31 discount isn’t huge, but this pedal was already outstanding value, so the extra money off just makes it that little bit sweeter. Whether you want to push a clean amp harder, stack it with other drive pedals, or just some straight hard clipping, this versatile stompbox can do it all.

Wampler Tumnus Deluxe: £189, now £179
We're seeing other retailers charging as much as £207 for this in Europe so this is a fantastic deal on one of the very best overdrive pedals available. Imagine a Klon Centaur with even more options and the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe is your only compact port of call: adding a three-band active EQ, optional higher gain mode and selectable true/buffered bypass modes into the mix. This is a gold standard.

GEWA G9 Club 5 E-drums: Was £3,699, now £3,444
Thomann has stripped £650 off the price of the GEWA G9 Club 5 electronic drum set. The G9 is GEWA’s flagship series, and the Studio 5 sees the G9 module paired with some gorgeous-looking real wood drum shells for an authentic aesthetic and playing experience. The module features a large 10” touchscreen and inside there’s 901 sounds split into 40 kits, with space for 128 kits of your own. It’s comprehensive on the effects too, with an EQ and compressor per-pad, a multi-FX processor with 9 effects, and 12 types of room reverb. With £200 off, we don’t think we’ll see the G9 with this much discount again any time soon!

Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH Roasted: £349, £259
We’ll get started with the stone-cold bargain that is the Harley Benton Fusion-III HSH Roasted in Trans Flame Cherry, which for Black Friday managed to lose over £80 (almost 25%) off its regular price of £349. Ask a guitar designer to write down all of the specs required to make an all-rounder electric in 2023 and we think you’ll find many of them here. This do-it-all, bound-body doublecut has got a roasted maple neck (and fingerboard), stainless steel frets, a third-party vibrato from Wilkinson (50IIK), and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The H-S-H pickup configuration (Roswell HAF humbuckers and an S74 single coil) with a five-way will see you right for a whole range of tones and styles, plus those humbuckers can be split via the push/pull tone pot.

Harley Benton HB-35 BK Vintage: Was £175, now £148
When it comes to versatile guitar tone for jazz, blues and classic rock, a semi-acoustic is hard to beat. Here, Harley Benton’s take on the most famous semi of all delivers all of the essential ingredients, and for Black Friday you could get it for under £150. The body is, of course, made of maple and there’s a mahogany centre block keeping sustain up and feedback down. Sticking to the traditional format, it’s fitted with dual humbuckers, 2x volume and 2x tone controls and a Tune-O-Matic-style fixed bridge. The deal price is for the works-for-everyone Black finish, and at this price, there’s tons of scope for modding too!

Squier Contemporary Strat Special: £229, now £175
The unusual pickup configuration of this Strat offers some truly unique tones, as well as a mix of classic Strat sounds in the mix too. We love that this guitar offers something a little different from the usual, and we also loved the £54 discount in the Cyberweek sale at Thomann. The build quality of this guitar is outstanding, far exceeding any expectations you might have from the name on the headstock alone. The roasted maple neck plays gloriously well, and we think the unique paint jobs make this guitar stand out from the crowd.

Roland VAD504: Was £3,777, now £2,799
Roland make some of the best electronic drum sets available today, but the quality and the name comes at a premium price, which is why we love to see Black Friday electronic drum set deals on Roland gear, particular the top-end models. The VAD504 comes complete with full size drum pads (20" kick, 14" snare, 10" and 14" toms, plus ultra dynamic digital hi-hats and ride, all powered by the TD-27 module.
