I spent way too long looking through all 372 deals in the Thomann Easter sale – here are the 5 I’d buy

If you’re looking for a great quality guitar at a low cost, this is one of the best deals I’ve seen this year. The build quality of the PRS SE range is superb, and with a £232 discount in the Thomann Easter sale, it’s incredible value for money. The build makes it feel as though it costs a lot more than it actually does, and it delivers incredibly playability and versatile tones that will mean you can cover a lot of ground with this guitar, without spending a huge amount of money.

Probably the greatest acoustic guitar of all time, the Martin D-28 is the gold standard when it comes to acoustic tone, and now you can get it for a lot less in the Thomann sale. Having recently reviewed a D-28, I can say it absolutely lives up to the hype when it comes to unplugged guitar tones. Delivering rich overtones and plenty of volume, it’s an invigorating experience playing a D-28, and with a massive £456 reduction, now more accessible than ever.

If you like your guitar pedals weird, then a massive £106 off the Pigtronix Gloamer will satiate your need for wild guitar sounds. It needs to be combined with other pedals though. It’s job is part compressor, part volume sweller, so when you start adding it into your signal chain with distortion, delay, reverb, or any other kind of pedal, you can get explosions of sound that will be quite unlike anything you’ve ever heard. It’s unpredictable and not for traditionalists, but for players who love experimental sounds it’s a gleeful bit of kit.

Whether you’re a Green Day fan or not, the MXR Dookie Drive is an awesome overdrive pedal and with a £26 reduction in the sale it’s great value for money too. It has that classic MXR build that’s both compact and incredibly rugged, and is essentially two drive pedals in one, allowing you to blend the sounds of different circuits together to create your desired level of saturation. It’s the sound of modified Marshall stacks in a teeny tiny footprint, and well worth a look if you need another gain stage for your pedalboard.

I’m a big fan of the PRS Mark Tremonti MT 15 Head, and if you play hard rock or metal then you will be too. It’s got 6L6 tubes and sounds absolutely huge considering its small size, and I love that each channel has independent EQ controls. It can get super saturated but always remains articulate, and from huge lows to smooth and high top end it delivers all across the frequency spectrum. The clean tones are surprisingly good too, maintaining plenty of clean headroom and with a £74 discount in the sale, it’s a must-buy if you need a new tube amp head.
