With elements from synthesizers, loopers and effects pedals, Teenage Engineering’s devices lie somewhere between musical instrument and modern art. These grooveboxes are capable of helping you produce songs in real time from a single unit, with an eye-catching design language. A wide swath of the brand's offerings are 30 per cent off at Guitar Center when you use code TE30, at Amazon when you click the on-page coupon for whichever product you're interested in, and B&H Photo (discount applied automatically at checkout). The terms for the Amazon coupon claim it will run through August 8th, 2026, while Guitar Center deal is listed as “limited time.”

The OP-XY is one of the flagship units, which my colleague Terrence O’Brien described as a 'greatest hits tour for Teenage Engineering.' Normally £1,499.33 (after 30 per cent off), this instrument is loaded with features for both production and live performance, and has a premium, durable build quality that reflects its high price point. It’s currently sold out at Amazon, but in stock and discounted at Guitar Center and B&H Photo. Read our Teenage Engineering OP-XY review.

The model I'm most tempted by is the EP-40 Riddim, a compact sampler with a library of over 400 built-in synth settings and effects particularly well-suited for producing dub and reggae music, plus 128MB of storage for your own loops and recorded sounds. It's a bit less intimidating for a beginner than the OP-XY, both in terms of price point and features, and its tighter genre focus may help concentrate your efforts and onboarding. Normally £220.30 (after 30 per cent off), this gadget is perfect for those who want to try their hand at music production without breaking the bank.
