Powerful whammy. Almost as good as a Whammy 5

My only issue is the same one I had with the RP-70. They're is a droning digital buzzing feedback no matter what.

Nice for the price

What the RP-90 does is impressive for getting things done. The programming does get complicated. The price you paid you got a break. It's worth knowing you can spend less to get started for players who don't understand processors. The downside is the up and down pedals can stop functioning correctly, there's a correctable fix for that also. I learned how to help the pressure defined by adding the proper washers to the pedals. The upside patch 39/89 jazz box is the best jazz patch to use if jazz is your pleasure use it on a low volume it is pre amp sound for low distortion. Very versatile for all forms of music. You'll save lots of bucks with this unit, less time on devices, and more time to study your craft. This pedal with the Katana mini by Keeley is even better it evens out the output of the Digitech RP-90. I gave it a Four Star because more effective multi-effects units are on the market. I've had to repair it on my own.

Charlie.EXE's only non-midi multi-effect guitar pedal

This Multi-effect pedal has sounds emulating real amps and effects pedals, such as the Marshall JCM800, the Ibanez 808 Tube Screamer, Dunlop's Cry-Baby wah wah pedal, and DigiTech's own Whammy pedal

Worth it, for now

Definitely opens up a different horizon of sounds I'm able to make, but they're all pretty cliché. Get creative and use it on a keyboard voice or even vocals for best results. Would not recommend buying at full price.

Nice one

Kind of useful, but a lil bit dumb. You can spend ages on refining your sound, but it's a bit complicated... If you satisfied with the presets, it's a nice choice.

Best multi-pedal ever

Has lots of effects and even includes drums to play along with. Great for the intermediate player. Matt Bellamy also uses a Whammy pedal although not this one. Same sounds and effects though.
