Digitech Trio+ Band Creator + Looper w/ Patch Cables and Power Supply

I've waited several months to write this review so I could really use the product. It takes some experimenting and adjustment to get the Trio to play what you want it to. You basically have to whittle down your idea to the basic chords and figure out the beat you want from the drums and play/strum the chords to that beat, then once you hit the playback button it'll play back what you want to hear. I will also say that I use this with my slide guitar tuned to open E and I can play riffs and it will usually come up with a cool bass line for the guitar riff. I do have the external footswitch which helps a lot as well.I recommend you use this through a small set of PA speakers and with some reverb or delay. I actually use delay and a tiny amount of overdrive to get that scratchy, low fi, old school sound.I really can't say enough good things about this pedal, it's made me ten times the player I was just a year ago. It's like a constant, unwavering, band in a box to jam along with.You get your basic pattern going then you can loop guitar chords, add lead lines to harmonize with, the skies the limit.If you can't get this pedal to do what you think it should it might be your technique, your timing, your patience, etc. I can tell you this is the best thing to come down the line in a long, long time. I also enjoy basic looper pedals, but as far as one that reads what you play and adds bass and drums to it in a matter of a few seconds this thing is phenomenal!

Got tired of playing alone and decided to give this guy a try. Looked at several drum machines but most seemed to be leaning toward the techno crowd. I’m a blues rock guy and this little unit has proven to be a great practice buddy. Still learning the ins and outs but I do love the veriety this unit offers. Also purchased the optional foot switch. I prefer to have the unit on a table and the foot switch on the floor. That keeps me from bending over repeatedly to tweak the band. Well worth the cost and has been tons of fun. Layout is simple and once accustomed to the interface, it’s easy to work with. Read the manual to get the most out of it.Only drawbacks is the drums and bass have the same sound no matter the style. The sound isn’t bad by any means, it’s just not editable to have different bass tones or different drum kits. Didn’t purchase it for gigging, only for use at home. Have probably played more in the last 2 weeks after getting this than I have in the last 2 years! Between this and my recently acquired micro terror, and zoom gx1on stomp box, I want to play every day after work. Next thing I know it’s after midnight and I should have been in bed hours ago! But will most likely do it again tonight. And yes it is that fun!

If you are like me, and struggle to find just the right backing on a rhythm pedal, then try The Trio. Instead of searching for the right rhythm track, the TRIO is programmable. I play a few chords in whatever time and key. Then the Trio creates my backing track. It's fast and unbelievable cool to use. Then you can loop some chords, adding to the backing track, with the built in looper. The looper and rhythm automatically synchronize. And you're ready to jam with the Trio with your custom backing track. Very cool pedal!

It works, but many of the rhythms it picks up (builds) are far from what I was hoping for. Also the button press to start and end, are sometimes spotty and you need to start over again.

There's a learning curve, and some limitations, but overall a good pedal for practicing or jamming alone.The software only save the mini sd card data on your computer. I'm using this pedal for busking with my electric guitar. For the moment I am working on the guitar parts, I cannot speak for the microphone. I will do an update after working with it. The pedal is very easy to use, the sounds are acceptable, not real musicians, but it's ok for what I do. If it was lost or stolen, I would buy it again.

The media could not be loaded. Everything about the pedal is awesome it gives you a band when you don't have one to practice with it's a band and a pedal it's not hard to use just need to get your timing down to use it the right way sound qualities outstanding Price could be a little cheaper but for what you get it's worth it

I find the user interface quite confusing. Everybody says it’s easy to use. I don’t see it that way.All this needed was a Select button and a Record Button. Instead it has an led that lights up in low intensity red, high intensity red, blinking red, same variations for Green and Orange. Imaging all these different combination with 1 foot switch!! You never know how to put it in a record mode, or how to select it for overdub, etc. every time I start, my previous recording is gone. There is no save buttton sometimes it locks up with Audiolystic in green, and there is nothing you can do except to erase and start over. I have seen couple of tutorials, but there they are more into having fun with the playing than doing a step by step and showing the principal of operations why so many different LED colors? It’s difficult. I’ll try to read the user guide again, see if I can make any sense of it. But it’s not something that is intuitive.

I like the product fine just please quit emailing me.
