DigiTech Trio Plus Band Creator Looper 2 is Your Songwriter & Practice Partner ✩ Demo by Tomo Fujita

[@axelman8547]

Hello there sir. Okay, you trigger me wanting to join guitar wisdom to actually learn guitar knowledge. I know chords and pentatonic box1, but the rest (all the rest) I cannot. I can play 190+ bpm rhythm trash metal and solo over it (learning with tabs), but really want to play the blues 😂. Question: Is there a learning curve with a starting point on GW? I play every day around 2+ hours and want to turn it into practicing hours and playing. Thank you in advance, will join asap . Regards Axelman8

I knew you'd figure this out faster than your average bear! Teaching it with very simple, even chording is the way to go. For performance, getting the FS3X footswitch allows you to not only activate the band and the regular loop, but you can also shuffle between your A, B, C, etc. sections. I don't use the sequencer, because with the extra footswitch you can let each section loop as many times as you want before shifting to the next one, and you can return to the first loop and do the whole thing again. In performance I might run A A A B B C A A A, etc., and if I'm feeling the section I'm in, I can let it keep going. Great video on this underutilized pedal!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I thought simple way is the best way to learn new things. This pedal is very smart as you saw... I was making my part and press with my hand, totally not right timing but this gear fix that for you! That's so great! Much better than any looper pedals that if you miss a timing then it's not working! I think many possibilities! Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Thank you so much!

[@papablue3015]

Yep, I've had it for years! Since i now play by myself, it's my musical partner! Thanks 🤘

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I’m so happy it’s working out for you! Thank you!

Had it for years too, I'm so surprised this took main stream guys so long to cotton on to it. I've been keeping an eye out for the next version for years!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! We all have specialty and choices! My job is to make people happy! I am so grateful.

I have watched like 20 videos on the Trio+ and this one was the most informative. The keep it simple advice is so important.

[@stevewhitton8671]

check out Digitech Trio + how to create a song

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. This unit is so smart that this can imitate anything you play ...so I played simple first. Then I can add more and more! Thank you!

[@mmiller6873]

Tomo, I bought the Trio a couple years ago and have yet utilized it for it's potential. Thanks for doing this video. It made me bring out my pedal to try it out again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I'm happy to hear it inspired you! It's a great way to practice and have fun! Tricky part is you need to play simple chords first then adding colors. If you play any fancy tension chords.. this machine follows those notes too much!

[@stephanepauc7835]

Thanks Tomo for this video. As usual it was very clear and your style as a talk with my neighbor is very smart. Doing things like this with simple samples is not easy, because most of demonstrating in this channel looks like auditions. Thanks again for the simplicity and the clarity! Salut!👍🙏

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! I tried to do as simple as possible! Thank you!

[@revivalworship]

Love this! Thank you for the great tutorial, sir!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@2n3chordjams70]

When you start part 2 of the song, the top green button, 1st hold in 2 or 3 , push in the green button and you get a click track to play in same time as part 1. It's a great tool especially for the theory less simpletons like myself 🙃 Well done quick intro to the Trio+!!!!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing this tip! That's really helpful! Thank you!

[@patrickmonahan8189]

Would you recommend this piece of equipment? For playing solo gigs/busking

[@2n3chordjams70]

@@patrickmonahan8189 Patrick, if you are asking me, I don't play professionally but I've used it a lot for fun and some of my videos. The challenge would be getting an acceptable sound source be it a P.A. or amp. I believe there are videos out there that may help, just search Trio+ and good luck.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@patrickmonahan8189 If you program a few songs and you can make something on the spot. Yes!

[@michaeljones9952]

It also comes with a micro SD card 8g, in which you can store up to 12 songs and then upload to the trio+ manager app which also allows for arranging parts. So you can create different sets if needed, and then there's a community of people creating sets and songs to download...I got it originally as a practice tool but found it had more uses for me busking, recording demos and great fun just jamming even warming up before the others that are playing show up, turn off any of the instruments you want..

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! That's so great for more songs! Thank you!

[@michaeljones9952]

Thank you Tomo! This looper is fantastic and such a helpful tool for anyone! Simple and user friendly!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful! Thank you!

[@FronzSchornack]

Thank you Tomo for sharing the DTPB! Looper they are a great tool to have if you enjoy writing songs jamming also, in this case for guitar or any kind of solo instrument. I myself own a Jamman JML2 which is old by todays standards but still gets the job done. That being said there is a learning curve with all of these units but once you master them wow! I've played at parties with a JML2 with a drummer for a while and they really work, about the only issue I have with these units are the foot switches which can break if you step on them to hard, "I don't know if they have fixed that or not" these are not commen switches"and need to be sent back to Digitech for repair, they are good about it and won't charge you anything so make sure to register the unit and keep the receipt. Thanks again.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I'm glad you find them useful for writing and jamming! I don't push that hard and these switches are very difficult to break! Thank you!

[@dsam6990]

This pedal is years old BUT is really Amazing and its the only one!! there are no others, the only product that comes even slightly close to this is another Digitech pedal; the Sdrum, shame they dropped the development of these highly intuitive products, would love to see a Trio +3 or/and Sdrum 2

Glad you like them! My pleasure! Triad approach is super fun!

[@robertbuck7186]

nice review of pedal... very good explanation of features that are user friendly... like not having to hit the button with your foot exactly at the right time... I still have trouble with my boss looper for that reason.... the Demo song chords sounds like the chords from the song "Knocking On Heaven's Door"

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you! This unit is so smart! THAT CHORDS could be any songs! Popular chord progression.

[@brianpost8827]

I have this and would buy it again. It is my creative partner. You can play keyboard using this too. Try laying down just a riff or bassline instead of chords and then figure out the chords to loop to the bass line. I may buy a second one to keep on hand .Unfortunately digitech is out of business. But they are out there.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks for sharing! Good job!

[@beerbikesandblues]

I got a Ditto looper in the mail today. It's fun. It is my first pedal.

me too, but the Rowin Twin Looper

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

[@brianpost8827]

Plug in a small bass amp into the mixer out. You can then separate the balance of drums and bass from the guitar.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Great info! It would be nice to see/hear how it tracks your playing without the simple bar strums. Like show the results of playing a riff based idea, or funky playing? Does it give good results or not at all? Thanks

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Play it simple first then this machine will cook from that idea. You can choose the one that you like from among choices. Then you can add your own parts, harmony etc.

[@seanwalsh999]

Well, you got farther than I did, I never got the sequencer part. I love this tool, you did a great job demonstrating it's features. You got a really nice tone from your guitar, I assume that there is a hint of reverb and maybe something else? Thanks for posting.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked my demo. I only read that paper before making this video so it was not too hard. The amp is One Control BJF-S100 and the cabinet is 2-12s String Driver Cabinet from Japan! I love this cabinet and my signature reverb pedal! This is the best! Thank you so much!

Anyone know when Digitech will show a Digital multieffects ?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I don't know

[@DavidBerlind]

Hi Tomo, I have a question about the Trio that I'm hoping you can answer. I have an old Loopstation 300 and one of the things I love about it is that it's got a LED display where I can name each of my multipart songs which makes it really easy to navigate to a specific song and load it. How do you easily recall and load a song that you've previously programmed into the Trio+?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I don't know about yet. That would be great to name each track. I only record a few ideas right now. Maybe you can ask Digitech guys! Thank you.

[@DavidBerlind]

I found the answer (and demo) at the 1:10 spot in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHezfnyaeayUhdk . The way it works is that when you press the Style button, it toggles into a Song Storage button. In that mode, each of the tiny 12 lights around the button represents a storage location and you turn the knob to control which of those locations you're working with. If the light is already dimly lit before turning the knob to it, it means that there's a song already stored in that location. This is a bit of a limiting factor because it means you can only have a maximum of 12 songs per SD card. To get another 12 songs, you have to change SD cards. And so on. The Loopstation RC-300 has 99 storage locations that can be named and recalled with meaningful text.

[@DavidBerlind]

Also, since you can't name the songs, You have to know which song is in which position (1-12) on each SD card. Basically, you would need a system for numbering your SD cards and a cheat sheet for each SD card that tells you which song is in each position. It's not a deal breaker given everything else that the pedal does which is amazing. But it's a pretty big oversight IMHO. In my case, I don't think I would get rid of my RC 300. Instead, I would use the trio+ to create a song or a backing track and then I would transfer that over to one of the 99 locations in the RC 300 to make it easily recallable.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@DavidBerlind You're a great teacher! Thank you for sharing! Actually I love that limitation on 12 songs!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

@@DavidBerlind That's okay! Number system is good enough! Thanks for sharing! I bought a RC-600 just in case! (for a long time ago!) Cool idea!

[@karol_p]

The pedal is great. Only two complaints. 1) no option to sync with other gear, 2) guitar input is only mono.

The bad part of using a looper is, most songs have a chorus. So, then you have to change, or stop the looper.

You can program sections on this!

Yup. The Trio has 5 parts per song and you can sequence them together however you want and then play the whole thing end to end

I have the Trio Plus for 5 years now… got it as soon as it was released … as good as it is, it misses the mark of what it could have been. Custom genres, ability to buy drummers pattern packs (like EZ Drummer expansions), actual live drum sounds instead of the 1980s 8bit dreadful Casio tone drum Sounds … and Bluetooth integration to play backing music into the unit. The product could have been phenomenal- but it’s just meh
