Digitech + Fernandes

I guess everyone knows what is a Fernandes Nomad is, right? 
It is basically a guitar with a built-in amplifier on it. It is small in size and weighs rather light. In a nutshell, Nomad is a traveller guitars. In Japan, these guitars are known as Zo-series guitars. 
Of course, we don't expect the amp there to sound like a JCM or anything like that. It is after all a 'practice amp' integrated on the guitar. The priority of Nomad is to allow you to practice your guitar while traveling rather than its tone. Some of us may find that unappealing though. 
However, we also know that practice amps may produce tone that is rather appealing when you place a multi-efx unit before it. That is exactly what Fernandes do to their Nomad.
The above is Nomad Deluxe. It is just a Nomad Standard with one extra feature; built-in Digitech signal processor.
The processor is based on RP-100 so if you have tried RP-100 before (quite an old model though), you would know that it is quite a good unit. Oh yes, like the RP-100, there is a drum machine in it. Quite an awesome travel practice guitar.
