I review guitar gear for a living – these are the 6 bargains I'm considering in Amazon's October Prime event

Boss Katana 50 MKII EX: 15% off at Amazon
The Boss Katana-50 MkII EX is arguably one of the most revered practice amps of the last few years and it’s easy to see why. Loaded with top-notch effects and amp models as well as three power settings, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better practice solution on the market – and better yet, you can save 15% at Amazon right now. 

Marshall Stanmore II: Was $349.99, now $199.99
Okay so we all know Marshall makes some of the most legendary amps of all time, but did you know they make stellar Bluetooth speakers as well? This wireless Bluetooth speaker as a range of up to 30 feet, is impressively loud and better yet it has 43% off! 

D'Addario NYXL Strings: 24% off at Amazon
These premium strings from D'Addario have long been my go to. For me, the don't just sound better, but they stay in tune better and are practically unbreakable. So when there's a discount of 24% on Amazon, I'll be stocking up. 

Positive Grid Spark Mini: Was $229, now $199
Now, I already own this awesome little practice amp. But I love it so much that I thought I should give it a shout-out, especially at this price! There's currently $30 off at Amazon.

Fender Vintera '70s Tele: $1,129.99, now $899.99
I have always been a massive fan of the '70s style Tele Custom and the Vintera version is simply stunning. It's even better with $230 off. 

IK Multimedia AmpliTube 5 SE: $149.99, now $59.99
If you’re looking to start recording but feel you’re lacking in sounds, virtual gear is usually the way to go, giving you countless amps and effects at your fingertips, minus the outlay of loads of physical gear. We loved the full fat version of AmpliTube 5 when we reviewed it – awarding it 5 stars – but this stripped back Special Edition is a great place to start if your budget won’t stretch.
