DigiTech TRIO+ Band Creator / Looper

Today we're rehearsing with the TRIO+ by DigiTech. This expanded version of the now-classic TRIO pedal is the new standard of practice tools, refined by player feedback. The new TRIO+ adds in a looper function with 24-bit A/D/A converters, and unlimited overdubs across 230 seconds of loop time. These loops and backing tracks can be mixed down as a song and saved onto a Micro SD card for easy recollection of ideas and licks. Several new genres are now present on the TRIO+, such as a long-awaited Metal as well as an Electronic Pop selection. Now, there are three different bass line modes, from the original melodic (busy) style to a pared-down root note mode. Up to five different song parts can be learned for a complete song (Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Outro) with programmable intensity on each. Much like the original, the Trio Plus has an extensive feature set, including multiple hands free modes for the optional FS3X switch, levels for Loops, bass and drum and several different outputs to headphones, mixers or amps.

Basically the best practice tool I've seen in 30 years of guitar.

Haha the metal preset. Andy just set it up and the double bass-drum tempo comes in and he just lets off a little smile to say 'What the hell do I even do now at this tempo?'.

This thing sounds like it'd be a fantastic practice tool and songwriting, like the drum sounds aren't perfect but it's a gret start to lay down the core of a song.

This thing is just incredible. I can get my songs down so quickly, share them with other musicians, and they get it first pass, vs. the old  "not quite like that, more like this".. If a picture paints a thousand words.. the Trio is pure audio cinema! Thanks for a great product!

[DennisMike]

Great video. For the first time, I now have a sense of how to gracefully end a song. Loved this gentleman's playing, too!

[Bill]

No doubt about it - Andy is the best reviewer out there.

Cracked Actor. That's gotta be the sleaziest Bowie riff. So sad he's gone.

My best friend bought me the regular Trio recently after I mentioned to him what a cool pedal it was (we've taken turns throughout our friendship of helping each other out).

On the first day of owning it I was using it in conjunction with my Zoom G5 and tried setting guitar loops on the G5 to play along with the bass and drum parts. Unfortunately they quickly drift out of sync.

I wanted to read the manual to find out what the effects button was for so I went to the Digitech website. There on the front page it said "Coming soon, the Trio+ band creator and looper". It had not been there just a couple of days before.

GRRR!!! Basically. The regular Trio is still very cool, but GRRR!!!

I have had one of these for about 3wks and been workin with it none stop
is a great idea i watch every video of it before i purchased i even
downloaded manual to read through it. What i have found that none of the
videos showing a musician
singing a song with it its always putting leads and overbubs which is
cool if you choose that .
I have found that you cannot play a overdub the length of the whole song
like a acoustic part what it will do is
start looping back what you have just played and screws up the overdub
it stops and starts looping
Digitech tells me i have to learn all parts to make the song this
product is so new there is not very much customer
info out there its a great idea but some of these things could be solved
with a firmware upgrade via usb port
thanks

This is what I've been waiting for from this pedal.
That song you made reminded me of "let it be".

[savanaviolenta]

I'm getting this one it's just the best creative tool for home practicing and live solo gigs, wow I don't need a band a need a Trio plus band creator.

[blayneb]

Jesus Andy - you're such great guitar player. I love how you cover so many styles so well, and oh yeah, the demos are great too!!!

[aliensporebomb]

I want this so I can use it wrong! :-)

[marin]

I have it and it is very useful for practising and creating quick song sketches.

[ZvikaDror]

Great demo, one of the best POC and good music combined! Bravo

[FlamesAtft]

If you get what Digitech was going after, ...you’ll quite enjoy this pedal/looper!...I have got one and have enjoyed it quite a while now with numerous Micro SDs full of covers + originals to perform live!!!🎶✨🎸

This thing hooked up to a PA for live shows or just an Amp at home for practice will have ya smiling.
The features let you do what you’ve seen and heard here on YouTube..(watch as many as you can)...and you should get the gist.
Just about ANY song or sound can be created if you study the pedal well. Your versions of cover tunes can be achieved by using all the styles & genres.
Original tunes can be honed to perfection before presenting to band members or an audience.

So, ..☝🏾get one and work on it to enjoy what it was designed to do...have fun playing music!!!...
✨🎸🎶👍🏾

Great demo!! Before the digital age, there was a time when the only way you could learn a song was from a record player, cassette recorder, guitar teacher or friend. No tabs, no electronic learning tools, nothing. lol And I'm not that old...anyhow, this is a great investment for any musician. Just my two cents.

[daveoh]

dear gear-fairy...
will you please put 1 of these pedals under my pillow tonight whilst i sleep?
thank you ever so very, gear-fairy...

[hypersmudge]

Really great creative tool. Great demo video, too! Thanks very much.

[RocketinExile]

you're an excellent guitar player man..the real deal

[TheOriginalFire]

It'd be nice to see a "Guitar" simulated instrument added to this. Bassists like cool toys too!
