DigiTech RP90 Guitar Multi Effects Pedal Review
The DigiTech RP90 is a guitar multi effects pedal powered by DigiTech’s AudioDNA2 DSP processor. The RP90 includes detailed models of boutique stompboxes, amps, cabinets and effects. The RP90 pedal’s tone and effect libraries allow quickly and easily give you any sound you want. The RP90 is like having a music store at your disposal. From hot-rodded rock and roll to metal, the DigiTech RP90 has everything you need to get the tones you want or need. To top it all off, the chorus and DigiTech Whammy effects can be re-arranged to go before the amp model or after—whichever you desire. The DigiTech RP90 modeling pedal features a 1/4″ guitar input along with separate left and right 1/4″ output jacks. Connect to either an amplifier or mixer for direct recording with a press of the Amp/Mixer switch that engages the internal speaker cabinets. Rounding off the outputs is a separate, stereo 1/8″ headphone jack for practice. To control the Wah and Whammy, use the Digitech RP90′s built in pedal.
Because music isn’t just about getting tones but writing songs, the DigiTech RP90 multi effects pedal also features 40, high-quality drum patterns to aid music creation and practice. Feeling sterile and need inspiration? Just turn on one of the RP90 pedal’s drum patterns and see where it takes you.

Bottom Line:
While it may not be as great as more expensive models, this is a great multi-effects pedal for the price. For less than $100 you can get an effects pedal with many different effects, amp/sound models, drum patterns, and more. The expression pedal helps you to really customize the effects and achieve the sounds you want. However, it does have many plastic parts so it doesn’t have that sturdy feel that metal ones provide. And the sound quality and number of effects is not quite as impressive as higher end models. But the bottom line is this is a great deal for the price, and is great for someone on a budget or someone wanting to experiment with new sounds and effects.
