Wow! I have owned this pedal for years and have barely scratched the surface of what it can do. That is in part due to the fact that the manual isn't easy to decipher (your mileage may differ). What a difference a good teacher can make. Dave, you made this pedal so much easier to understand and I am extremely grateful for this demo. It's like you breathed new life into this pedal for me. Digitech should have had you write the manual instead of someone else. Then I would have understand this pedal better, a long time ago! Now I'm going to spend the next couple of hours putting to use, what I just learned from you here today. Thank you so much and Happy New Year 2025!
Fantastic Instruction Process - I have been stumped on a couple of the process steps and this review simply, clearly and methodically explains. SUPER!!! and thank you.
As always, an excellent video Dave. I wanted to underscore a key point you made - when teaching the trio, keep it ultra simple. You just about get the best result using single notes. Add the extras later. Also, the simple set up you showed early on, of guitar straight in and using headphones as your output, has many advantages, especially when you're playing late at night in a family home with other people asleep! In fact, I got so used to doing that, I now do just that 99% of the time and really enjoy playing like that. This leads me to the next point, for me, the number one key feature of this pedal is to be able to quickly create a backing track for a whole song, and I mean ultra quick, like a whole song in 30 minutes - dump into your DAW, and you now have a pretty good foundation for completing your song. Once it's in your DAW, you can do whatever you want. You can even record your own bass lines, add extra drum parts, etc etc Cheers, Joey
@@ingmarlambrechtse985 Fair question. It's not Midi, they are audio tracks. Two methods: 1. 1/4" from the mixer out (on the Trio) to your interface, with all three trio tracks being recorded onto one track in your DAW (least desireable). 2. same as above, but you isolate each instrument on the Trio by putting down the volume to zero of the other two instruments. Say, you start with drums, put the loop and bass down to zero, record drums to one track in your DAW. Then isolate the other two, so that you end up with three tracks. Then you improve on no. 2 even further. You can actually record your drums in stereo, create two drum tracks in your DAW and then I use an 1/8" pin out of the headphones in the Trio, and this particular lead I have splits out into 2 1/4" leads that go into your interface, and that will do your drums in stereo (the other two instruments are in mono, so no benefit for those). Cheers, Joey
This has been my favourite practice tool since it was released. I also enjoy the SDRUM. I’m looking forward to see what new pedals Digitech come up with, now that they are in full operation again.
Very simple AND CLEAR instructions, review, etc. Very refreshing! Thank you! Keep it up! (I haven't purchased one yet, but... as soon as I can...I will!) 😮 😂
I really like these kinds of vids Dave!❤ it really stirs things up and it makes the audience guess what the content will be next for me. As long as your happy with making content, you will be succesful. Appreciate you Dave😊
Definitely picking one of these up today. I play solo and duo gigs with no drummer…..definitely better than adding a drummer to the mix as we don’t need percussion on most of our tunes. AND I can still loop separately the congas and percussion!
I used Trio + on my songs “Goodness of God “ and “Que chante pour toi” and “Thank you Jesus “ -country rock and “O Seigneur a toi la gloire “ “Kumbaya my Lord “
Dave I love your work thanks to you I have been continuing by guitar journey and hope after may be a year or two i can play the guitar half as good as you.
Great comments on the tool usefulness. You've though it through. Thanks. I hope Digitech can come back with a revised edition with few extra options like (1) guitar effects independent of the genre (2) indipendent output for Bass and Drums so that I could plug them in directly into my DAW and have great base to start off a song. Thanks a ton
Great video, very well organized with clear explanation of the important features of the Trio+ pedal. I'll be reviewing this with the pedal in hand (or underfoot) many times methinks! 👍👍 Subbed!
Digitech is back... I'd buy a upgraded TRIO+. Maybe at this years NAMM they'll have 1 to show? You can be hands free using the 3 button footswitch. I have 3 sim-cards worth of music,a buddy & I did. Good reveiw & showing how to use it in different ways. 👍
Thank you for your directness. Your explanation and examples were perfectly blended without unneeded flash. Your pros and cons stayed generic, as to quell most FAQs. Very well done.
I have one for the rythmique songs for my upbeat worship songs either in French or English and Spanish.. It’s a band in the box much more than a looper and it’s not so hard to learn how to use it !!
I've seen on online message forums that you can run the output into the amp FX return and the FX send of the pedal into the front of the amp, with all additional pedals intact. Are you able to vouch for a setup like that insofar as preserving tone/sound quality goes?
Thanks for the in-depth video. I'm fairly new to guitar and want to start experimenting with playing with backing. This looks like it would be perfect. Quick question though: I have an amp with an 'aux in'. Do you know if I'd be able to feed the band straight to that so that I can use the effects on my amp for the guitar?
Can you use this as a standalone looper without all the band stuff? If so what are some pros and cons of using this as a looper as opposed to a regular looper pedal?
Thank you for being so dispassionate in your review. I was going to buy one, but I am put off by the restricted guitar voices. Funny, I sent my idea for an advanced looper pedal to Digitech a couple of years ago after buying a Jam Kan. the Trio+ is so close and yet still shoots itself in the foot with a lack of simple features.
Always Nails everything, songs and Tech what a legend. Well I'm gonna have a crack at this with the Kemper, if anyone has suggestions, this is the best info I could find, Thanks for the great Demo Davo. For those wanting to try and hook this up to a Kemper - Guitar >> Trio + Input >> Trio Plus send >> Kemper Input >> Kemper Monitor Out >> Trio+ Return >> Trio Output >> Cab.
Most songs only have one rhythm. Will this unit work just to provide a basic drum and bass track to any song ? abit like if someone is playing a cajon to accompany the solo singer guitarist ? I am looking for something that will do that every time. Perhaps you can recommend ?
As tech progresses, I look forward to other gear which devs may make which would have more cool features and maybe more realistic drums; nothing against electronic-sounding drums, I like them. But having the option of accessing a “real drumkit” would be really interesting. And maybe something like this which has a more complex response…I’ll try to sound a little vaguer…lol..I guess the one reading this follows what I mean. Maybe further, more advanced versions of Digitech Trios?
The Digitech Strummable Drums is quite cool, too. You can do lots with it, when you know how to operate the pedal well... Just spend some time with it there is so much to get out of this pedal. It is quite cool for live playing, a lot better than the BeatBuddy in my opinion. Even more so, when you have the footswitch thingy for the Digitech... (3 different modes available, etc.)
Everyone keeps saying it saves everything automatically, but it doesn't seem like you can change the volume mix between the parts after the initial recording. Do you know how to do that and resave at a new volume level? No one seems to know how to do this
Volume levels are not saved... you dial them in with the knobs and that's what it is... However, you can change the intensity of the drums by pressing the part led (changes from green to red) or the "busy-ness" of the bass by pressing the button... When I want to have different volume levels in my parts, I turn the volume up/ down on the guitar or on the pedals I use (this approach works quite well with the Digitech Trio+).
After the drums, bass and rhythm are recorded, I send each to its own track on a TASCAM recorder/mixer by setting the volume of the other two to zero. The key is to use a good count in to get the timing synchronized but it’s not difficult. My approach is a little tedious but it works for me.
Hey! (‘_’ )/ Have you tried to just get the Looper -side Foot Switch replaced? Could. be that’s ALL you need to be back up & running! The “grounding” for that switch may be disconnected or just pinched off thus the “control” functionality for the Looper section won’t function!…or perhaps another wire is compromised so poor functionality possibly!..🥹🤔Try this suggestion and see because the Trio+ REQUIRES ALL wiring to be pristine to operate properly particularly ok! b(‘_
I currently use a Beat Buddy for my Drum Tracks for my live gigs but what i miss out on is a BASS TRACK. Can i plug my guitar into this unit and have the unit create bass tracks while i play my guitar ? I dont necessarily need the drum track from the unit. Or could you recommend a device to me that would create BASS lines on the fly while i play live ?
What about the tempo setting? Do you need it? I don't see a place to see that you've set the tempo to say 69 bpm or 110 bpm etc. Or does it set the drum tempo for you based on the guitar rhythm you play?
It seems like a cool pedal however, the drums are so bright and I can barely hear the bass. Can you adjust the levels with these instruments separately?
Yes, the old Trio pedal. Depends on what you're looking for. There are products overlapping what the Trio+ does like SDRUM or Beatbuddy. There's the Boss DR-880. It lets you programm bass guitar, too. Much better drum machine, but no pedal other than the Trio+ does the teaching/learning thing and present you a beat and a bass line you don't have to programm and lets you start jamming away in seconds.
The RC5 is just a simple looper with basic drum machine capabilities. Great pedal no doubt. But it doesn’t allow you to cycle through multiple progressions and doesn’t create a drum/bass groove based off what you’re playing like the Trio+. So you can’t really compare them as their feature set is entirely different. If you need a simple to use looper, RC5 is easier to get your head around as a beginner, but if want something that has a better ability to get creative with and build out a full band, then Trio+ is better
LOL! It'll give you slightly different results each time if starting from scratch, so if you're just jamming live in a more improv sort of way, absolutely. But you could also save the song structures and parts you have created into the 12 song slots. So short answer is yes, but I would be doing a lot of prep before the gig to have everything in place. If you want to recreate specific grooves or beats, it's a little trickier since you are only given a set of options to choose from created from how you taught the band
@@GuitarZero2Hero Thanks. It seems more suited to home jamming. I already have, band in a box for that. I get nervous enough without worrying about extra pedals to press. 😂
@@GuitarZero2Hero How do you get those "slightly different" results each time? Mine is just doing the same thing over and over when I put in a certain chord sequenz with the same rhythm each time... Would love to get an answer. Thanks in advance. All the best to you guys!
@@lanceholland Was it? Would love to know when or in what situation you had this problem. Mine works just fine. Would love to find out where its limitations are. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, answer is much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Keep rocking!!
@@apriltoronto5254 Hi - I'd strum a basic chord progression using simple chords. What the unit produced was completely out of whack drums and bass lines that didn't even follow the chords. It wasn't like I was even using complicated chords....even a basic blue progression seemed to confuse it. Maybe mine was a dud? It's like it wasn't actually listening when I would do the record/learn.
It’ll work with any guitar amp. As I mentioned in the video you’ll just need to keep the tone on your amp as dry/clean as possible so that the drum and bass and not coloured or distorted by your amp. So you would need to use external pedals or the inbuilt FX on the Trio+ if you want distorted, or driven tones. I prefer the former as the inbuilt fx on this pedal are limited. So you’d be essentially be using your spark as a speaker only and letting other gear handle to tone.
@@GuitarZero2Hero Thanks for clarifying. When I said no, I should have been more clear that all the different tones of the Spark would not work with it effectively
Best demo I've seen in ages. You deserve a healthy bonus, sir!
Thank you!
Excellent presentation; well thought out and delivered.
Very clear and simple instructions for novice users. Really appreciated.

With the tech that is now… omg that would be a must have product.
I think they don't exist as a company anymore.
Unless someone bought them and kept it alive in some form.
Very clear and useful demo. Thank you!

Does the bass come out of the same output as the drums? 🤔 Be cool if you could separate them
Spot on review of what this pedal is about and how to use it. It is a lot of fun.
Can you use this as a standalone looper without all the band stuff? If so what are some pros and cons of using this as a looper as opposed to a regular looper pedal?
Yes just click directly on the Loop button. Acts like a simple looper.

Is there any way to change tracks using the Trio plus with a foot pedal?

But these are REAL DRUMS, they come from the famous Band In A box team, played by real musicians for real musicians.
Dave, what would you recommend for a drum pedal that can be edited to accurately replicate drum grooves?
Probably the Beatbuddy, as you can upload specific drum beats etc onto the SD card :)
The Digitech Strummable Drums is quite cool, too. You can do lots with it, when you know how to operate the pedal well... Just spend some time with it there is so much to get out of this pedal. It is quite cool for live playing, a lot better than the BeatBuddy in my opinion. Even more so, when you have the footswitch thingy for the Digitech... (3 different modes available, etc.)

Yes you can there’s level controls for both drum and bass

This pedal would be much better with stereo in and out. No reason why this option is missing other than cutting corners.

Damn that riff sexy af🥵
Thanks! :)
For the cringe people...this is a practice tool...which does help for those who may be in a rut. Not a replacement for live musicians.
Got one. Drum sound is dismal. Bass lines cliche.
Digitech should have called on you to demonstrate before they released this long misunderstood and often abused diamond in the rough!
No more available due to digitech quit
You can still get them
DigiTech is back now :)
It's available anywhere 😗
price went up from around 170 euros to around 300 !! should have bought one couple of years ago...
thing is awesome, though!!
The drums will sound more natural through a PA, bass/keyboard or acoustic amp.
