The Best Budget FX Pedals Under €50
So, you’ve got your guitar, your amp. Is there something missing from your inventory? There are hundreds of pedals on the market. It is hard to know where to look, and how much to spend. Don’t worry though! If you’re buying for yourself or a loved one, here are the best budget FX pedals under €50.
Effects pedals can reform and refine your tone. Need a bit more fuzz in your life? Perhaps you need some delay for your solos? Guitar pedals give you what you need to complete your sound. If this is your first pedal, or another to add to your board of dreams, stick around…
Harley Benton Mini Stomp Fuzzy Logic
Let’s start with this mini fuzzy logic pedal from Harley Benton. Pocket sized, so will fit nicely into your gig bag on the way to band practice. For an authentic sound, this pedal takes inspiration from other, more expensive fuzz pedals designed to make you sound like Hendrix.
A true bypass when switched off reduces signal interference. When you’re rocking out, you’ll be able to control the volume and overall fuzz from this pedal. A solid metal chassis ensures durability; feel free to stamp on and off all night long.
TC Electronic – The Prophet Digital Delay
A delay pedal is the perfect tool to change your sound from sitting room to stadium. Once you’ve honed your skills with this pedal, a new era of playing will begin.
Three controls allow you to adjust the time, mix and delay repeats which can be up to 1300ms of delay time. So if you want the full Pink Floyd or just some added echo you’re all set. The true bypass means you won’t suffer from parasitic signal loss when bypassed.
With the added benefit of battery-powered operation, why not play anywhere…anywhere…anywhere…
Behringer DR600 Digital Reverb
Next up, a personal recommendation for a great budget reverb pedal. Welcome appointments include:
- Spring
- Plate
- Hall
- Gate
- Room
These different types of reverb will set you up for any occasion, from surf guitar crashes to stadium-size spaces. All of the reverb types can be adjusted for intensity and time. Great value, whether you’re adding this to your existing pedal board, or plugging it into your practice amp.
Joyo Raptor Flanger
The Joyo Raptor Flanger is an amazingly cost-effective way of adding a modulation style effect to your pedalboard. With judicious juggling of the controls, you’ll be able to dial in traditional flanger swooshes as well as chorus and phaser-type sounds.
Behringer FX600
Concluding our list of the best budget FX pedals under €50 is this digital multi-fx from Behringer. If, like me, you want a taste of everything without the hassle then this is the pedal to go for.
One pedal gives you access to flanger, chorus, phaser, delay and tremolo, effects, all inside this petite package. 24-bit processing means it sounds much better than you’d expect for the money, too!
Finally, don’t forget to buy some patch cables, if you’re running more than one pedal! This six-pack of patch leads from Thomann represents great value for money.

Thanks for this article, big help. I have tried guitar fetish too, good stuff.
I have a few Behringer pedals. They sound great and at a price point everyone can afford.
the behringers were great, especially the vintage overdrive,as good as the tubescreamer
I know you could not include these as they are no longer available, but shout-out to the Danelectro FAB series of pedals which were quite decent and VERY affordable. A little bit better quality than the smaller series named after food. Downside was the roundish shape which made them hard to zip-tie to a pedalboard.
still have mine,they were great for $20
