DigiTech Trio+: A Full Band and Looper in One Box

The DigiTech Trio+ band creator and looper pedal is one of the most powerful practice, writing, and performance tools a guitarist can ask for. The basis of the pedal is DigiTech's popular Trio technology that listens to your playing and automatically plays bass and drum accompaniment. But the DigiTech Trio+ offers five additional genres for getting the right feel. An onboard looper lets you lay down rhythm guitar parts for each loop. And the DigiTech Trio+ lets you store and sequence these loops any way you choose to build full songs for your performances.

DigiTech Trio+ Lets You Create Your Own Backing Band

Drums and bass on demand

The heart and soul of the DigiTech Trio+ pedal is the same technology that made the original Trio pedal a massive hit. You choose a genre and a style variation and begin playing. The DigiTech Trio+ will listen to your guitar and instantly offer the correct bass and drum parts to fill the song.

More musical genres

On the DigiTech Trio+ you'll enjoy five additional genres of accompaniment that the original Trio pedal didn't offer. And you can instantly and easily change the tempo of your songs and loops without affecting their pitch, which means you can experiment with different tempos without breaking your creative flow.

A bass player you can control

Not everyone wants a busy bass line. The DigiTech Trio+ pedal offers three bass line modes, ranging from simple to complex to suit whatever style of music you're playing.

DigiTech Trio+ Offers Built-in Looping and Recording

Easy-to-use looping

Onboard the DigiTech Trio+ pedal is a powerful looping function that is the same as DigiTech's powerful JamMan line of looping effects. The looper footswitch controls the whole thing, allowing you to record, play back, undo, and redo songs at a whim.

Record your loops to SD card

The DigiTech Trio+ pedal is equipped with a Micro SD card slot, and includes an 8 GB card. You can expand the power of your DigiTech Trio+ pedal as you wish by using cards with larger storage capabilities. It's a great way to capture new song ideas while they're fresh.

Create and record up to 5 song parts

Use the DigiTech Trio+ pedal to learn up to five different song parts (intro, verse, chorus and so on) and combine them into a full song. You can store songs along with their loops to SD card (up to 12 songs with loops on the included SD card). To make it even easier to manage your songs and loops, free librarian software is available at the DigiTech website.

Create your song as you go

Create individual parts for intro, verse, chorus, and so on

The DigiTech Trio+ pedal will become your favorite song-writing partner. When looping, you can save your different sections into one of five Part locations. Each Part can be accessed instantly and arranged as a 5-step sequence. You can move each section around as you please.

Add tempo variations to your song

Pressing the Alt Time button on the DigiTech Trio+ allows you to change the tempo for a song Part independently of the other Parts. That means you can have timing and tempo variations throughout your song, whether you want a subtle speed variation or a drastic change in tempo for a certain part.

Create a different mix for each song section

You're able to control the intensity of the backing band for each individual Part, allowing you to bring up the volume for choruses and dial it back a bit for quieter sections. Individual volume controls for Bass, Drums, and loops allow you to fine-tune your band mix as a whole.

Great practice tool

Great tool for anyone to use for practice and fun. Very simple to set up and get started. Still learning some features but all in all it's exactly what I needed and more!

Great pratice tool

What a blast working with this pedal. I'm still learning some features but all in all it is very simple to set up and get started immediately.
Rated 5/5

The Best Practice Tool Ever. Period.

I should have bought this years ago. I've had it less than a week, and I've used it for hours each day since it arrived. This is such a well-thought-out piece of gear. First, I'm amazed at how easy to understand and use this pedal is. The learning curve is less than 10 mins if you watch a few short online videos. I also love the different output options. You can send all the sound to your amp, all the sound to a full speaker system or mixer, or split the signal so that the bass and drums go to a full speaker system and the guitar comes out your dedicated guitar amp. You can also send all the sound through the usb into your DAW. OR, last but not least, you can simply plug in headphones and quietly create your masterpieces. In addition to the ease of use and output options, I am amazed at how well this product recognizes chord progressions and develops a bass/drum backing. If if has problems recognizing the song, then it's easy to resolve by simplifying the strumming or providing power chords or root notes. In all honesty, though, this has rarely been a problem. Finally, saving songs/tracks is extremely easy, and they're easy to locate and play after they're saved. All in all, this is a fabulous product. Make sure you get the FS3X pedal to go with it. That makes the product much easier to use. You can keep the Trio+ at arm level for adjusting the genres and styles and control the looper and band functions with your foot. Brilliant!
Rated 5/5

More than just a looper

I don't have any musicians friends and I rarely get a chance to leave the house, so this pedal has been a game changer for me in regards to learning. I thought I had pretty decent timing before, but you don't realize how sloppy you are until you have to play with drums and bass. In the week I've owned this, I feel like I've progressed so much in my understanding of music, how it's structured, rhythm, and countless other items I can't think of right now. This pedal is so much more than just a looper. It's a one man band maker, a teacher, a looper. Now that Digitech is back, I hope they expand the capabilities of the Trio+ even more. I'd happily buy an even more upgraded version.
Rated 5/5

Trio + accolades

I got the Trio + about 5 years ago, and after too short of a learning curve time on my part, I tried to introduce it as a backing "band" to the acoustic trio I was part of at. The other two musicians instantly mocked it as a "Wurlitzer " old rhythm box and dismissed me off . I wasn't adept at the Trio + yet, but I was deflated, and put the Trio back into storage, thinking I made a wrong purchase. Fast forward to Covid. After the 2 years of isolation, my two bands disbanded. I noticed that the venues we used to play were now only hiring solo and duo acts, obviously for financial reasons. I decided to try, for the first time in my 50 year playing career, go solo. Bought a PA, and brought the Trio + out of storage. OMG. I have the performing career I always dreamed of, and playing with electronic "musicians" that bring no drama or ego to the gigs. I wouldn't go back to the headaches of bandmates for anything due to this great piece of technology. The Trio + is just complex enough to be simple to use, yet doesn't require an IT degree to operate. No annoying menu option screens. Very well thought out! My only suggestion is to increase the song storage capacity in some way. I know you can swap cards, but a unit with a 50 song library would be ideal! Perhaps a Pro version, or an external mini hard drive for existing units?

Matthew LaMarche

I may be a one-man band, when I gig out with my DigiTech Trio Plus, but I sure don't sound like one. I love how the Trio Plus gives me complete control over its sounds. Every time I head to my local open mic night, I know that my set is going to be in the pocket, right where I want it to be. I play whatever I feel like playing, and this pedal always keeps up, whether I play jazz, metal, or country. I've never gotten so much out of such a litte box!
