What are the best guitar pedals under £100 for different needs?
Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
The Behringer UC200 Ultra Chorus (£23) is a budget choice for chorus, while the Electro Harmonix Big Muff with Tone Wicker (£97) suits distortion and sustain. For noise reduction, consider the Behringer NR300 (£21) or Boss NS-2 (£99).
The best choice depends on whether you want to change your sound or tackle unwanted noise. These pedals serve different purposes, so there is no single best option for everyone.
- Behringer UC200 Ultra Chorus: £23 best new price, for adding chorus.
- Electro Harmonix Big Muff Distortion Sustainer w/ Tone Wicker: £97 best new price, for distortion and sustain.
- Behringer NR300 Noise Reduction: £21 best new price, the lower-cost noise-reduction option here.
- Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor: £99 best new price, another option for noise suppression.
For second-hand alternatives, consult the Best-value used guitar pedals list. If distortion is your priority, the Used overdrive & distortion pedals list is more focused. Compare current listings rather than assuming used is always cheaper.
