Digitech Trio+ Band Creator - Building a Song to Noodle over!

[@jimmccall2689]

so far the nicest creative use of the pedal I have seen - gives me some things to think about. Excellent job.

[@rattown99]

Thanks for all your work, I got one yesterday and because I watched your set up video and this video it was seamless! Now I have to figure out how I can stay home from work this week. This thing is addicting! Great Job!

[@ouackstrax7356]

Mine has spent the better part of a year sitting on my cart intimidating me, but after seeing this I think it is time... this is by far my favorite demonstration of this pedal... plus, it's got a pesky beagle.

[@mikeslominsky]

1. Your doggo seems awesome. 2. This is an amazing demo. I really dig the work that you did here. Thank you

[@NickintheStates]

I'll be ordering mine soon. I use my normal Trio quite a bit and I think this will fill in the gapes that it's missing. And finally a looper I don't have to hit perfectly! That's really the killer part that should not be understated. Because it knows where your loop starts and ends from the drum and bass part your guitar overdubs are so much easier than a classic looper. Thanks as always for the good work!

[@zorbanongreco]

well said ! 🐂💨💨💨

[@Liamjholland]

I was thinking the same thing about the looper feature 👍

[@medinachesterhm]

Of all the trio video demonstrations this is #1. Thanks

[@LifeOnceLived]

And that is a fact

[@CaedeCithara]

that JEM is absolutely stunning

[@drbilldc]

You have very successfully demonstrated how this pedal can and should be used! Very very cool my man.

[@Skelly5962]

Your video sold me, man. I need to get one of these puppies ASAP and then take a long sabbatical from work.

[@gregd6361]

how did that work out?

[@christiaandemarezoyens4720]

Which puppy, the pedal or that great dog?

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Lately...it's been impossibly to get together with friends to jam...so I pulled out my old Trio Pedal (1st Gen) and completely forgot how to use all the extra functions with the FSX3 switcheroosky thingy and figuring out again how to use it with my TC Ditto Mini Looper...then I see you...YOU again...demoing why I should just sell my old one and get the Trio + instead...argh Henning! You've done it again...given me G.A.S. ...during the lockdown! 😂😜🙃 Love you man! Thanks buddy! 😎🎸🤘🐦

[@gioramone24]

This is a really nice creative tool, now that they've added the looping side to it. Also, really love the fact that you don't have to necessarily count yourself in when you start a guitar loop... With this you could really easily put together a song without having to get crazy with a drum loop in your DAW and make a full functioning demo to bring to rehearsal and refine with your mates, or even an acoustic solo show could get a lot more interesting... Really nicely put together, man, as always ;)

[@bassax7045]

well ,they can hold the rhytm ,and dont drink your beer

[@rottingemptiness]

No fights , cheap , and you can keep their mouth shut whenever you want 🥳

[@brianglatz9477]

Absolutely loved your song! And thanks for demonstrating the Trio as well.

[@Liamjholland]

Killer demo video 🤘😎🤘 I didn’t know about this pedal until about a week ago and I’ve been researching it since... this is the best demo of it I’ve seen so far 👍

[@leftymadrid]

Very nice video, you have said sooooo much in your video, and did not have to speak!! very cool!! I like the part where your dog is being a kid, but with one point of the hand... I am seeing as many Trio plus videos as I can to understand the functions etc... I have mine coming in a few days!!! Rather excited myself. At 56 I really don't want to have to go to a practice hall and practice/play with others as I live on the outskirts by a forest. I KNOW this little pedal will not replace real people in the group but it is the next best thing for sure!!! It will be great fun, and a theraphy to be able to play accompanied by other sources. When you play for years alone, you always imagine in your head the other parts... lol Take care, and thanks!!!

[@ruggeroromano6028]

Great practical example of possibilities of the Trio+...but i guss that the difficult part is in connecting right tempo and drumbeat from one song section to the other ... Thank you !! I have the trio+ since 2 weeks ago and I need to improve my knowledge on real capabilities of this pedal !!

[@shaamaan]

There's an extra feature that's not shown in the video. Namely, you can initiate a clicker when recording a new song part, which will click with the same tempo you had previously recorded with. But... this is a year-old comment, so... >_>

[@clinteastcoast]

Recently purchased this pedal which is a lot of fun. Thanks for the video, very helpful. Cheers.

[@cayojuliocesar7842]

Congratulations!!!! Your work is excellent. Sometimes the simple, someone does it wonderful !! Thank you for your dedication to show us that a lot can be done with just a few things. IMPORTANT, your dog's interventions were great, he will become a great musician !!! HAHAHA (you apologize for my bad English ...)

[@jasonfrey805]

Another fantastic composition of yours, brother! I of course love your demos. I think that your recorded works need more recognition for how awesome they are, and your singing is awesome as well.

[@stevewhitton8671]

Thank you for posting this. Great work on the loop function

[@shaamaan]

Thanks for the video! I'm a far worse guitarist myself, but this is a very good semi-tutorial on how to make some excellent use of the TRIO. Plus, nice tunes!

[@onestab465]

Awesome. Greetings from the Philippines.

[@never2old2try]

Great. Band-in-a-box in box. I use B-i-a-b frequently, but I need one of these! Thx!

[@eternity9099]

I have a beat buddy and I sync it with a Ditto x4 and I love that set up, but I still kinda want one of these for some reason...

[@donvnielsen]

Cool song, dude. Oh yeah. The pedal is really neat, too. Nice performance!

[@DTGuitarTech]

Brilliant demo. I’ve just got one of these pedals. Life changing!! Nice melody and construction there by the way. Did you know that when you are building up the parts, you can match the new part’s tempo to the previous one - it gives you a count in of a bar.

[@mark-dietz]

best video of the trio Ive watched.

[@dedhed4949]

that was fantastic i haven't seen a good demo of this pedal yet cheers henning

[@shckltnebay]

Fantastic job and for having one day amazing thanks

[@charlesgrey8651]

Awesome !!! Great Tutoring 👏👍🎶

[@ZeMagik]

Sorry, your dog stole the show :) Good review anyway :)

[@daddurs2206]

Man that was awesome!

[@SergoKazmir]

A wonderful composition, can you listen to it from the studios with mixing and mastering, a track?

[@soyelabogato]

Very nice demo!

[@HDTomy]

Need it ! Great demo 👌

[@MoishHas]

your dog got my atention, you should say you are sorry and apologize to him...

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

finally... finally I traded in my old Trio for a new Trio plus... can I have fun with this, and thanks for your awesome in-depth reviews hunting, listening to this while I'm working so when I get home tonight I can more easily get a handle on that thing!

[@easyhelp]

I don't think I will buy this pedal. If I would have it, the automatic drummer and bass player would fire me from the band...

[@Skelly5962]

Evžen Körner 🤣

[@rottingemptiness]

This pedal just gives me the oppertunity to become a selfish muSICKal prick , . EXCELLENT 😜👌

[@MrBinsique]

Merci pour cette démon authentique!

[@alejandrocasanova2836]

Excelente!!! el mejor tutorial que he visto!! ah! y qué dedos!!! gold finger man!!!! so thanks!!!

[@billyfreeze1893]

your dog wanted to play some howling wolfe. nice vdeo , ony thing I havent found yet on any demo of the Trio is the bass sounds ? The volume is too low to hear.

[@murraysanders7779]

Well played and put together , but I'm sticking with my Boomerang and Beat buddy , where I can load 4 loops in seconds

[@skyhawks4ever]

Wow! Very impressed!! Great demo and phrasing. Oh, and give your beagle a hug for me. I lost my dog a few years ago and I miss her dearly.

[@LivioRoch]

Amazing creating song 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎶🎸

[@mayakashiii]

nice demonstration

[@tcarney1965]

your Beagle seems to enjoy it!

[@karobas]

You're doing fine. Thank!

[@Isaacelijahmusic]

Shred skills my goodness

[@dresdensinn6669]

I was gonna say your expensive Ibanez Steve Vai guitar is out of tune but you caught that pretty early : )

[@manuelramos4374]

Saludos cómo se conectan las cajas al loop del amplificador??

[@cesarnavapalacio3632]

Minute 8:40.. Doggy is going "I need to go out potty.... and by the way It is passed dinner time"..

[@marklondon2008]

How do you get the pedal NOT to play the effects you are using on the lead guitar just the ones that were enabled when the loop was recording? Thanks

[@lgrankin]

I would luv to see a version of this for bass players so we don't have to deal with "guitards" while creating :-)

[@kingstumble]

+Lou Rankin How would that work?

[@lgrankin]

The trio would generate guitar chords based around the bass line that is being played.

[@kingstumble]

It wouldn't be able to work out the harmony based on single bass notes,or even when to change chords.

[@eveken6476]

+Lou Rankin guitards...real musicians appreciate every member of a band stop whining and learn to play in a band..

[@lgrankin]

So true

[@blackdog7275]

OUTSTANDING!!

[@mr.b.8144]

As far as i understood this one has an EFX-Loop, right? This means i can go with this signal chain. Guitar -> Trio -> (send) -> Overdrive -> Delay -> Reverb -> (return) -> Looper -> Amp (clean) / Headphone. So, i could play until the Trio got the chord progression, loop a clean track (maybe with reverb), loop another layer (maybe overdriven) and play a solo over all with delay and can even store the looped material for later work on the DAW?

[@mcmillanalex]

Yes that's right. I've had one for just over a week and it is so much fun to play around with. It sounds infinitely better through my tube amp than it does through headphones, however.

[@jamescarrick5377]

How do you use this pedal where the song has quiet parts i.e. drums and bass stop? Thinking Cockney Rebel, Come up and See Me

[@TheIsahn]

Is it possible to record the drums bass and guitar into the computer??

[@leftymadrid]

Note, your speaking videos are great too!!!

[@TheAlinutau]

I got this unit, but, too bad I can't learn too make a little stops between parts, and make a drums intro and finish the song... or it can't be done with this pedal...

[@derKleine92]

das ist ja mal eine tolle Kiste. perfekt auch, um zuhause Songs zu schreiben. klingt auch nicht so nach Midi, sondern die Sounds sind echt amtlich für die kleine Kiste :-) beste Grüße steffen

[@greatvanzini]

It actually sounds a bit better than my original trio,,,, I think. BIAB is pretty amazing. Hopefully do the road it will be using the real instruments from BIAB which are pretty amazing too.

[@greatvanzini]

+greatvanzinni do= DOWN!

[@MarcEandfriends]

I'm trying to get this Trio+, but have heard that the quality of bass and drum sound it's not that great. do you agree? or it's a hater thing?

[@koontzman123]

Why did part 2 button stay red?

[@jimlund4845]

Henning....I miss Kiana....I bet she would have some good insight regarding this pedal. Great demo regardless!

[@MrGavinspoppop]

I assume it cannot be used in a live one man band gig ?

[@EytschPi42]

+Brian Donnelly Why not?

[@DMSProduktions]

+EytschPi42 LOL!

[@gioramone24]

+Brian Donnelly Actually, if you get very creative with the looping you can create really awesome soundscapes and some cool groves, and then add the band side of it to thicken up the whole thing to support you, I think... plus you have song banks ;)

[@ColtonFultonUK]

It can save up to 12 songs with 5 parts each on the card that comes with it. And you can always buy more cards.

[@dethstormpx4]

Love your vids by the way!

[@nicethugbert]

Hmm, so bass players are better off getting beat buddy instead?

[@endezeichengrimm]

Hmmm, interesting box. But it is mono right? So if I use gain, isn't it going to muddy up? Also, can you select what key it plays in?

[@RJW14]

+Endezeichen Grimm from what i understand it automatically gets it's key from the chords you put into it at first.

[@EytschPi42]

+RJW14 The key is defined when you play the chords.... it is mono, which is kinda sad... at least the drums in stereo would have given it some space... but it works fine the way it is... even with high gain rhythms.

[@pikherz]

It is designed to be ran through a mono guitar cab in the first place, not a fullrange speaker system. Even though it is possible to do it, you will probably want to use something else for recording drums and bass for a song.

[@zorbanongreco]

thanks for the vid, cool guitarin' too man!! 😀🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@3DThrills]

You really pulled the nose up on that one.

[@freddysnightmare8391]

i see the trio + but whats is the other 2 devices you are using please ?

[@gedeon_teuzemany]

Top left : this is the amp - Hugues and Kettner tubemaster Down right : delay pedal - Strymon Brigadier

[@kxmrock]

Dog's are Producer & Engineer, 8>)

[@MarshallAmpMan]

I think your pup wants to go out

[@bertpainter8385]

Honestly, I wasn't digging it at 1st. I had just ordered the SDRUM pedal and came across this pedal afterward. But once you got past all the layering of parts and got to the lead, I was impressed. For me the other parts I can do on my looper. The bass lines this TRIO does wasn't for me. I'd rather add my own bass too. But for someone who rather not do the bass it's good enough. The drums are always the bitch for recording enthusiasts who aren't a drummer or don't have the setup for it, or the room. Drum machines are fine for a click track or if your just doing a demo. This machine and the SDRUMs are much better than drum machines, unless you can program your own drums and really know how. Great demo .

[@EytschPi42]

I just released a drum programming course at spectredigital.com That might be great for you!

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

If Hennig cant find a quick and good sounding loop relatively quickly???? ... Great Idea' Digitech ' From a Former RP 2000 Owner' loved it ' till it Fried itself!-? Granted it was 10 yrs old!- Anyway ' Its been 3 YEARS!!!'For The ' TRIO' Digitech! New Chips are Available for Much Better Drum and Bass Sounds and Digital Readout of Loops and Number Saves' Even After Re' Power Up! More User Input and Style Types This Really Could Rock The Market ' No one Else Makes These!!? Just Some Actual Advancments From Real Musicians! Imo? Big Money Left On The Table Digitech! - wtf? 😶

[@nachtschatten5790]

Hey EytschPi. Habe mir auch das Trio Plus zugelegt, nur wenn ich es nach Anleitung mit Mischpult anschließe, spielt komplett alles über meinen AMP verzerrt ab. Habe gelesen, das man es so anschließen kann, das man Schlagzeug und Bass dann über das Mischbult steuern kann und die Gitarre wird über den AMP verzerrt. Weißt du da was?

[@EytschPi42]

ja! Schau mein Trio Plus Video... da gibt es eins wo ich alles erkläre... da ist es drin!

[@nachtschatten5790]

Danke, ich bin aber anscheinend zu doof dafür um es vernünftig und verständlich zu verstehen :D Ich bin hier am verzweifeln...

[@EytschPi42]

das Ding hat einen Mix out (Bass und Drums) der in den Mixer geht und der Amp out geht in den Amp... und sobald beide belegt sind sollte der Trio automatisch die singale splitten

[@JeffCDollente]

How do i wire this to my audio interface with my bias fx to this device?

[@JohnnyMegabyteCanada]

an a separate channel than the guitar

[@HezJP]

Guitar > trio > amp output > IF in1 (bias) \ pa output > IF in2

[@tamirkeren6750]

The dog likes it.

[@pivea]

That was amazingly put together! I'm now quite baffled that you don't know what a flying rats ass is, that kind off playing should get you all kinds of rat asses flying at you, all day long! Definitely THE best gear reviews on youtube.

[@EytschPi42]

+Pierre Vestin Thanks Pierre....that is very nice of you to say!

[@shorerocks]

+Pierre Vestin Yeah! It is.

[@78tag]

Need we say more? You are quickly becoming my favorite entertainment, education and just all around fun to watch channel - hands down! Thanks

[@seasharpdeflat]

The next time you record, I'll be happy to dog-sit Cute dog.

[@gunnarkniza4902]

Nice. 😉

[@neilkurian]

Awesome

[@DrRussPhd]

nice beagle . .

[@snooze0023]

Good idea and its almost there but not quite there. If they can improve the drums to sound as good as the beat buddy and include the footswitch we may have a winner but for now its a weiner.

[@robmag6156]

This is a good video but this doesn't help with "Songs". Do you store the song after you have done all this or do you have to press the "song" button and choose a storage place before you start composing?

[@EytschPi42]

I think you pick the "song" before you start and then it is saved automatically to that preset

[@alansmollen]

And the dog was thinking where to shit... And that the burglars that took your car, were gone so, ... ( joking)

[@brucenewman5051]

The dog rocks

[@dethstormpx4]

cant solo over my rhythm track .( Drums and bass are thru my p/a ) I record my guitar track using the trio looper and on playback the guitar only comes thru my cab so when i go to write a lead the cab is all jumbled up sounds terrible! Unfortunately a deal break for me. Digitech sure missed the mark ! The sole purpose of this pedal is to practice and write.... very disappointed!

[@Moon-ls4vc]

¡Excelente!

[@hollowmenrule]

Everyone recording too short of a loop

[@80Waterman]

[@durkar3791]

I have several minor relatives I am willing to trade for one of these ;-) Hours of fun

[@Gonzo2707]

*sigh* Still no dedicated Funk preset. The drum samples still sound dreadful, shittier even than those in my 20+ year old RY10. I want to like this so badly. The Trio's fundamental design & engine are fricken ingenious, why the hell can't digitech get the bread & butter stuff around the space age AI tech parts right...

[@Acousticpraise]

The r&b style can get funky. It's great for pop, r&b , hip hop, and smooth jazz. Synth driven loop based music. pretty much top 40. I gig with it. I love it.

[@Acousticpraise]

+William Thomas It sounds great through a pa. deep bass punchy drums.

[@ColtonFultonUK]

guitar and rhythm section have separate outputs.

[@zorbanongreco]

you can adjust the bass and the drums levels on the Trio tho.. o o o o ••o O 0 O🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@zorbanongreco]

... anyway ,that ain't what it is for its an idea grabber tool ... 🐂💨💨
