When the DigiTech TRIO was unveiled at Winter NAMM 2015, I was about as skeptical as possible. While the concept behind the pedal appealed to me, I just didn't believe there was any chance it would be any good). It took months of researching the pedal and reading amateur reviews from other people online to recognize that the TRIO is actually an amazing product. Yes, it is overly ambitious, and yes, it does have flaws. But the takeaway from my early experience with the pedal is that DigiTech put an amazing amount of thought into how their customers would actually use the pedal, and the end result is a terrific practice aid for jamming at home and simply learning to play better guitar. The interesting thing about reviewing the TRIO is that there is a kernel of truth to many of the "bad" reviews you find on this site and others. The basic function of the TRIO is to "learn" a bass line and drum beat simply by playing the simple chord progression of a song (or, more accurately, one part of a song). The process isn't always perfect. The TRIO will create a loop based on the progression you train it with, but the timing and some of the bass notes will invariably be off a bit. I think some of the bad reviews really expected the TRIO to understand what you are trying to do and to nail the perfect accompaniment for your guitar part every time. If that's your expectation for this device, then yes, you may be disappointed. But the reason the TRIO works for me is that DigiTech gives you a large amount of flexibility to tweak the band accompaniment parts AFTER you play your training phrase. You can select from a number of musical genres (rock, alt rock, pop, country, etc.). Each of those can be tweaked further using a style selector knob with about 12 different options. There is even an alternative time button to double or half the timing based on the same beats per minute. It's very true that TRIO comes up with bass/drum parts that don't quite fit your idea. It's also true that with all of these different style options, you're almost certain to find something very close to what you intended, or something that works anyway. The flexibility of this pedal extends to the output choices you have for playing the bass/drum backing track. You can run a single instrument cable into a single guitar amp. Or, you can run a TS (unbalanced) cable into a mixer or studio monitor so that you have a separate speaker playing the band part along with the guitar output going to your guitar amp. Big credit to DigiTech for providing volume knobs for the bass and drum tracks separately. There is even a third option, which allows you to monitor using a headphone jack on top of the device, and hear the bass/drum track along with your guitar playing all through your headphones! The Guitar FX button on the top left engages a preamp and cabinet simulation so that you get a genre-appropriate guitar tone without having an actual amp anywhere in the signal chain. For example, "Rock" setting will give you a distorted tone through a large cabinet, while "Country" gives you a cleaner, jangly tone with some slapback echo. The tones aren't elite quality, but it's addition nonetheless, which allows the TRIO to be an all-in-one practice tool. (There is even a headphone volume knob, which can be used in conjunction with the Bass and Drums knobs to control the levels of all three instruments through headphones). Oh, and the implementation of the tempo knob is brilliant. The "1x" tempo is based on how fast you play the learning phrase. But if the resulting product is too fast or two slow, you can easily adjust with the Tempo knob, and tracks will loop at that new speed. I've read some people describe the TRIO as a "glorified metronome". The truth is probably somewhere between that description and DigiTech's own claim of "Band in a Box". The one feature missing that surprised me a bit was that the TRIO does not include a looper for your guitar parts. In fact, it has no memory storage options beyond the three song parts that you program at that time. But now that I have owned and played around with the TRIO a bit, there might have been the issue of just "too much going on" if they tried to jam a looper into this device, also. It should be possible to run the guitar output into a separate looper pedal, and then you would have a rhythm guitar part to go with the bass and drums, but I have not tried this yet. All in all, this was an extremely ambitious project that DigiTech put a lot of love and detail into - for the most part, I think they got it right. It will be interesting to see if they continue to improve on the pedal with firmware updates through the mini-USB port.

After trying various drum machines that are too hard to program and don't follow the songs I am practicing. I saw this and thought, this may work. Read many of the reviews, checked Youtube and knew if it did what it says it will, this was the thing I needed. Purchased from Remix Music through Amazon Marketplace. These guys are great. The TRIO was shipped and delivered in THREE days. As fast as my Prime deliveries! Thanks Remix! I pulled the TRIO out of the box, everything in perfect condition, small getting started guide, PSU interchangeable to European voltage, and the pedal. I am running the BASS, DRUM out to my mixer and the guitar to my 15 watt Fender practice amp on clean. Works perfect. I started by playing the cords for the song a few times before pushing the learn switch. Just down strums at tempo of the cord changes. Start the pedal with the PART ONE pressed and play through the verse or chorus to the last downbeat and press the switch. Change to the second part and start learning on the downbeat. This will keep the timing correct between parts. Took me a while to get this correct, but worked in the end. (Type in TRIO band creator in youtube for some good video on this ) and download the full manual on the Digitech web site. This is a great pedal and a lot of fun! Side note! I purchased the FS3X footswitch at the same time through Amazon Market Place and will do a separate review as it did not work out of the box. Digitech, using junk parts in this and QC is lacking.

I love this thing. It is not perfect, but for a lone, home player like me, it is way better than regular looper; it makes playing much more interesting/fun, changing tempo and feel on the fly. I also own the regular, cheaper trio. The trio+ is a HUGE improvement--tunes are saved to sd card; can switch genres within a single song; 3 possible bass lines for whatever is currently playing (via simple button push); can program the sequence of song parts. On the sequence, each song has a max of 5 parts, but sequencing can repeat parts. So say i have a three part song, A B C. It can be sequenced in any order, with repeats, for example, A A A B A C C B A. Next, Having the looper function as part of the trio+ is the only way to effectively integrate overdubs. I tried using the regular trio with a seperate looper, but it proved impossible to get the parts perfectly synchronized. The cheaper trio can't do any of what i just listed. My biggest complaint about the cheaper trio is the inability to save songs. It can sometmes take an hour or more to teach trio a song and have it interpret as i want. Not being able to save that work when moving to a new song is what motivated me to buy the expensive trio+. What I don't like on trio+: --The timbre of drums is inferior compared to the cheaper trio. On the trio+, they much more digital and sterile, more casio-toy-like. --on the trio+, the style selector knob's detentes do not exacly match the led and actual selection of a style. Thus, very often, I turn the knob and miss the selection i am looking for, as the actual selection jumps/skips. This is especially annoying when making a selection on the fly, while "jamming". I suspect this might be a quality control issue and specific to the unit i have. --i wish i could switch songs on the fly, without latency. Parts within a song switch instantly, on the beat, without latency. However, switching songs requires stopping the play to load the new song. The switch of songs takes about 2 seconds. This makes medleys impossible--cannot connect one song to the next. All in all, the trio+ is great fun and reinvigorated my playing. Even with a couple of flaws, i love it. It is far superior to the regular trio, but it is also way more expensive.

This is crazy! You plug in you electric guitar, play a song, select a bass/drum selection, and you have a three piece band! Not mentioned is the fact that while most guitar players will turn the amp up and use the guitars volume control to control the volume, this needs the output of the guitar to be up. My Strat worked well with the volume at about 7 or 8 and I turn the amp down to a tolerable level, and got good results. Great product but takes a little getting used to as if you are 1/2 a second on your guitar, the drum and bass lines don't adjust. Get used to staying on time as a good player should anyway.

This pedal has great promise but doesnt quite live up to what is shown on the videos demoing it. It gets the drums very well, the bass lines not so good. Its not quite intuitive to use either. I initially played a chord pattern couple of times through but that gave terrible results. Then I tried just playing each chord once and that was much better. However, it doesnt do well with patterns that have more than two chords as the bass lines are mostly unusable to me. I would recommend waiting until the second or third iteration.

I grew up ushering in Maestro fuzz tones and Vox wah wah's. Just to plain experience the technology of this thing is fabulous in itself. A rhythm section that's always on time, never drunk and doesn't have a "Yoko factor" or other band baggage. OK get the thing working ... If you're having trouble getting it to recognize your chords you're simply doing one of two things (or both). 1) Play CLEAN. Turn off the pedals. Don't play any chord tensions. If you just asked "What's a chord tension?" Then that's exactly my point. 2) Play in TIME. Nearly all casual players totally suck at being able to play in time. Lot's of really busy players suck at playing in time as well. Point? Learn to count YOURSELF before blaming your "rhythm section" for not correcting your poor timing. They will mimic your crappy playing faithfully. Chop quarter note timed chords that are simple root position triads. Don't swing it or play triplets or alternating bass or fills, sparkles, or freaking gnarly pinch harmonic dive bombs. Get the picture? Simple power chords or triads, 4 to the bar. Strive for precision in placing the chords on the quarters. If you do those couple things you'll be loungin' with the lizards playin' All The Things You Are and Ipanema with a swingin' little combo. All that and you don't have to pay the other guys scale

That pedal doesn't work as good as the description. It's hard to program, the bass licks are terrible and you're very lucky if you can dial in a drum track that fits your tune. Plus the guitar effects are lousy and not nearly loud enough. You could do a better job at a much better price by just using a metronome. I wouldn't recommend this pedal to anyone.

Takes a little experimenting to get it to dial in the backing drums and bass but once you have it down it is a blast for jamming at home. Isn't quite like jamming with friends but for a busy guy this is a heck of a lot easier and convenient. If you play modern metal I don't think it will work so well. It will keep it in key but won't quite be the right style at least that I've found. I mostly use it to play Rock, 80's metal, blues, and country and it is a blast. if you play funk or R&B it seems like it would cover those styles exceptional well. I don't know that it would be great for live use maybe with a looper you could make it work...
