I bought this and was overwhelmed on how to even get started using it. Your video is so helpful thanks for helping us novices.
You’re welcome. Glad you got something out of it.
This product is a marvel for a composer to create rapid sketches of new songs. It's easy to work on each part separately and modify it, or eventually switch the order of parts, etc. This allows relatively complex layouts to be refined very quicly. It's a great tool as a backing track for vocals, solos, embellishments. For the moment I don't see it like a gig tool, but when I will master it, it could do the job, the effect loop may help for that purpose.
Crazy GOOD Video. Just got this unit and wow.... the possibilities.... Thank you!
Cool
You are a class act, sir. Very few channels make tailored playlists for their subscribers and it is AWESOME when they do. Thanks for this.
Wow, thank you!
@@ThePedalGuy Definately a great series👌Can we split the mixer line out to RCA stereo, so that we can play back bass and drums through a home AV reciever or stereo speakers?
Thx for the nice quick tip man, I’ve been also following ur video of the headrush looperboard, that helped me a lot as well, great job rly!
Thank you, thank you, thank you... Great help understanding the Trio Plus
Stan Rosenzweig very welcome
wow!! all my questions were answered in this video. Now, I am one paycheck away from getting this! thank you!
Thanks! Clear and easy instructions. I look forward to your delving deeper…
Thanks.
Brilliant pedal!
You do such a great job! Thank you!!
Thanks
I have mine and it is a fantastic tool to make you a better player and it has helped me play Full songs that are usually hard to play by your self.
Cool. Thanks for the feedback
good job - looking forward to a complete tutorial of this unit - hopefully with the external footswitch . You rock
OK LIVE thanks for the kind words. You bet we’re gonna use the foot switch in a future vid.
This is a great demo. Short but full of great info. Impressive short demo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it helped
Very concise & informative . . well put together Quickstart
Glad you liked it!
Great video, thank you for the intro. I just got mine today!

i wish I had one of these long ago.
This is an interesting gadget-The Digitech TRIO Plus Band Creator Guitar Pedal
I've been using mine as a gigging tool for several years now- I can do a three-hour gig on my own. I run my guitar through an amp sim and send it into one PA channel and the drum/bass feed into the other PA channel. For me, the best sounds are on the jazz and Latin genres. The bass, especially, sounds good on the jazz setting.
wow david that blows my mind,i have only been playing guitar for over a little over a year now learning covers and live streaming the songs ,now im learning how to use this pedal plus trying to make a song along the way, your live gigging has really inspired me on account you live play as well,not saying im anywhere near your talent but thank you
@@powersurgefive7484 Thanks so much! If you're curious, you can hear me at this link: open.spotify.com/track/3NwUNHK5BwezwHu4rUljEb?si=UEi8bNhmR5uQhqCGWZpr0Q It's not super recording quality, but it's just me and the Trio+ live.
Why in the hell would you use a toy like this to gig when there are so much better sounding options? I've got this pedal, to me it's just a toy, fun for some practicing at best. I regret not buying the Beatbuddy instead to this day.
David. How do you organise a track list using this?
@@Chip_57 that’s the tricky part. I just have to keep track lists on my phone and be sure to keep the memory cards separate and labeled. Two memory cards make for a 24 song set which is usually plenty.
...you just sold it to me.........great intro demo......beats reading the manual....!!! ;)
Thank you very much
Do you simply need a guitar cable to connect the amplifier to the trio and a patch cable to connect to the multi-effects device? or other cables must be 2 pieces for fx send and for fx return
It was hard to start. Once I got going it makes sense.
Keep going. Good times and music are ahead.
Thanks, looking forward to videos on how to make additional parts.
So like a viewer asked earlier, how does one re-record a guitar loop?
Is it as simple as repeating the process for the guitar demonstrated?
Anyone?
I found if you turn off band side and hold looper button down the red lights blink and you can start again. If you have multi tracks it will delete the last one..........I think!!!!! It's new to me as well!!
The black palm tree background makes it really difficult to see where the cable is plugged in. Does the guitar cable go in the middle jack? Does the pedal cable go in the jack nearest the bottom?
I'm having a total blast with this pedal... can anyone help me? How do you copy the drum and bass from part 1 to part 2 and so on
Is it possible to do reggae rhythms too ?
Also , is there anything like this on the market that can add strings too ? Thanks for your time ..ans this was a great video .
Hi there, great video!! Tell me, is the foot switch necessary or can i set the unit on a table and manually (with my fingers) utilise the band and looper functions - and they stay in/on time?
Thanks for your question. If you mean the optional FS3X it’s not essential. You can get most of it done with the on board fs’s
Hi Inda, I'm a big user of the Digitech Trio and I don't own the footswitch, in fact, I don't even use the Trio as a foot pedal, I prefer to have it up high on my desk and I use my hands 100%. Of course, when you're teaching the Trio, it means you have to be very quick with your hands to turn it off exactly on the first beat. If you're a bit out, it gets confused, and more often than not, it thinks you're trying to play a 3/4 time song! I like to up high so I can see the settings clearly, and more often than not, I'm flicking between the sub-genres looking for the best accompaniment. Also, I like having the mixing knobs close at hand.
Thanks a ton for this video!
One question
Does the band learning button create a drum loop similar to sdrum?
As in can it create a proper drum loop based on what we strum or does the drum section only pick a pattern from a finite set of preset styles?
Thanks. No it has a set of preprogrammed drum patterns that are outlined in the TRIO manual.
@@ThePedalGuy thanks!
Hi
I thought it wise that I clarify in a broader sense my thanks.
Your channel is superb. You must be so patient to go through each pedal and learn the features , advantages and benefits.
I have a terrible, terrible time attempting to absorb information.
What’s ridiculous is I am actually not backwards at coming forwards, if you Google Lanza Martineta you will see under Google images that I was a photographer, graphic artist for many years. So the point I am making is I may take a while to learn, but once I have then a degree of competence is achieved. That’s where channels like yours are just so handy.
May I ask you how much you would charge to do a face time call. I would be more than happy to contribute? I want to be talked through the Digiteck pedal! Why? Because you see I am making an album, and I believe wholeheartedly this could provide much needed backing for me to work out the songs.
Many thanks
Lanza.
P.S if I sent u a track could you suggest appropriate settings. I saw you did it for someone who suggested Sade.
Sorry if this is an inconvenience, but for the record today after looking at your guide.,,I came as close as I ever had to grasping thirty per cent of it, so Thankyou for that.
Your Trio and SDRUM demos are streets ahead. Is it possible to use the both of them together? ie if I am gigging sometimes being able to lay down a rhythm with the SDRUM is more spontaneous. I use them both so that I can adjust them and have the FS3 on the floor. I want to be able to put them in series including the effects loop?
Thanks for the kind words Dave. I wish there was a way to do this, but the TRIO is a standalone product. It doesn't have any sync capabilities.
Hello. I've had my trio plus for some while but I'm still learning.
What I can't find anywhere is how to create intros and outros. They're rarely if ever long enough for them to be taught to the trio+ and thus can't be made into parts using the 'tempo fix' technique. I assume I could record intro and outro parts without teaching the Trio+ but this seems to negate the normal technique. What am I missing?
Incidentally my objective is to use the sequencer and parts to provide a sort of simple backing track to play solos over at local open mic events in which I'll also sing - not into the Trio+, but another PA mic.
Enjoy your channel very much even though I'm not a huge user of pedals.
Many thanks
You might get a few ideas from this video I did about sequencing ua-cam.com/video/ZEU8w00zIvM/v-deo.html
How do you save and recall on the fly numerous songs no one shows this
Thanks for the question. This is all covered on Page 31 of the manual.
HI could you talk about why the Prism + has eratic tempo issues? I can record two songs using a metronome and single notes at 100bpm and set bass to simplify etc and get really wide results from super fast tempos to perfect tempo?
Prism?
Nice review !
Before buying this I wanted to know if:
It can work on a battery bank (for outside gigs) ?
Can I record it directly to audio card, as the Zoom H6 ?
Thanks. Yes you should be able to use a battery bank. You can record the outputs to anything you’d like. Hope that helps
@@ThePedalGuy Really ? good to know that ! Thanks !
@@roygertel Just use a good audio IO on your computer and something like ProTools to record in the tracks.
Hi there ! I was watching now several Videos of your Trio+ Tutorials.... not in ONE you explain how to STORE a composed song with several parts - can you please explain me how to store a song so that it isn´t gone when i´m leaving the song mode and start to create new parts ? Thank you in adv.
I did mention it a few times. The pedal auto saves the songs.
This or the Boss RC-3 or the Nux Looper Pro or the Beat Buddy v2 ??? Any input greatly appreciated. Nice Demo.
Michael Caz thanks for the question. That’s a tough call as it really depends on what you want to do. If you need a pedal that will generate a bass line this is the right call. If not I would suggest the NuX loop core dlx
Will the looper work like a stand alone looper? ( to record chords and jam scales over etc)
Thanks for the question. Yes, the looper portion of the pedal works like a standard looper.
Been debating this pedal for a long time. Just wanting to know if it's a good practicing tool.. I want fun practice back. like when i started 20 years ago
Mesa3077Boogie I think it’s a lot of fun for practicing and performance.
one ? i have tho , if i mess up on my loop how do i take it out and redo it again? hold down loop button ?
powersurge five you can absolutely erase and redo your loops. We’ll cover this in a future vid. There’s a lot under the hood with this pedal.
Does anyone know if I can connect this into a headrush pedal board? Into the effects loop? I want to use the sound of the headrush but just the drums and bass on top? Not sure if the headrush would effect drum sounds?
It should work fine. Needs to be set up correctly on the HeadRush but it can be done.
It seems to have just one bass sound on all the genres. Is it possible to change it to a more funky bass with bite?
Sorry nope. It’s a single tone. But it get a bit more gritty with a pedal on the bass output as a solution
@@ThePedalGuy Its a shame as in every other aspect its a very creative piece of kit, but I am very picky (excuse the pun) about my bass backings. I will probably link to my other pedals. One more question - it stores songs onto the micro SD card but can they be easily recalled as a backing track playlist and if so is there any digital display add-on available?
I did a whole vid on the editor and backing up the songs. That should help
@@ThePedalGuy Still cannot find your editing video. Can you give a link please.
@@WoodomainJeremyBroun ua-cam.com/video/xsRtRGO8QCk/v-deo.html
Hello sir to be honest im in a situation that i was hopelessly not finding a right looper for my needs;
1. I need a budget looper pedal
2. Acceptable audio/drum quality output
3. Capable of saving couple of songs with parts (like you show on this videos)
So my only worry is, are the parts of the sequence you made on this video can be repeated manually in a live performance?
I will watch more of videos and subscribed already thank you in advance
Hi. Yes the TRIO can be used live. I have several vids that show you how to set up, sequence and perform with the pedal.
And for future reference you don’t have to repeat the same question onto multiple vids on my channel. Thx 🙏
Hi, I'm hoping for some help. When I plug the trio plus in all of the part lights flash red - none of the "style" lights are on and most, but not all of the "genre" lights on the right side are flashing green and nothing happens when I turn the genre or the style knobs??? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Tracy. Sounds like you need to do a factory reset on the pedal. I cover that here ua-cam.com/video/EMcqyExWMeg/v-deo.html
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for replying. I did do a few resets before messaging you, and then out of running out of alternatives unplugged the trio and plugged into another socket and then it worked. I hadn't used it for a while so not really sure what the problem was but it is all good now. Thanks again.
Love mine! Only problem I'm having is trying to play a slow song, kick in the drums and the tempo will sometimes go slow and sometimes go double time. I have alt time set to red (slow) and try to play the same chord progressions with varying results. Ideas...??
You have to pay close attention to your Strumming right hand and the pattern. I had the same problem and worked out that it seemed quite sensitive to small changes with what you play in. Like he says, the more simple you keep the input the more success you'll have with it.
I just bought the pedal and the 3 button footswitch. Is there a way to record a loop and have the pedal be learning the progression as you're recording the loop instead of having to teach the pedal the progression and then record the loop?
Thanks for your question Paul. As far as I know, that's not possible. However I will look into it.
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for the quick reply. I am a solo artist so I use loopers for all my live shows. It would be great if the Trio+ could do that. Otherwise it takes too long to get into each song.
Alternatively you could simply create the backing tracks for the songs prior to the gig so they’re ready to rock and roll at the gig
@@ThePedalGuy Well I pride myself on doing everything live. None of my loops are pre-recorded. I record each loop as I'm playing each song at the gig. Trying to keep it as live as possible.
@@PaulJBaccash totally get it. What i was suggesting was to teach the Trio the progressions per song, save them, and then record the loops in real time at the show. The Trio is a bit of the non traditional looper and requires a slightly skewed approach to achieving the goal you want. But I'm sure you'll find a way to make that happen.
Hey! I'm a bassist that also plays guitar and I've been looking for a looper. I was wondering, does this support multiple instruments to be used at the same time? If not, what's an alternative that you'd recommend?
Thanks for the question. Well, here’s the thing. The TRIO produces a bass line for you so it might be a little counter productive. What I would look at is the SDRUM and getting a couple of JamMan Express XT’s and syncing them up with JamSync. That might be more advisable.
If you’re looking for an all in one, the NuX Loop Core deluxe might also be a good choice. It has a rhythm machine built in and stereo inputs.
Alright thank you! I've just watched your video on JamSync and think I prefer that to the TRIO+ so will be looking into it. Was just wondering, what's the benefits to having multiple Express ST's instead of just one?
@@Cubic1612 Sure thing. Just keep in mind that the TRIO+ doesn't include JamSync. That's on the SDRUM. The benefit of using multiple JamMan's is simple. More parts can be recorded and triggered in sync with your beat.
if i plugs in, itll work. dont try that with amps tho.haha. for example, guitars work fine on bass amps but dont plug a bass into a guitar amp without turnit wwwaayyy down lol
am I able to use the guitar sound from my pedal board and keep it unchanged so it isn't over distorted or just not what I put into the trio+ ? I get the idea of switching genres and so on but what I put in from guitar or whatever needs to stay intact,,, anyone that knows I sure appreciate it.
tekszet yes you can simply use the fx send/return io’s to integrate the trio plus into your rig cleanly.
From the trio manual "The TRIO+ will "listen" to the clean guitar
signal at the GUITAR IN jack when learning your songs, so you don't have to worry about disabling effects when
teaching the TRIO+."
Nice, is this good to use through my electric acoustic guitar? thinking of getting one now
Danny Boy absolutely will work fine with your acoustic. We have em in stock!
awesome thanks a lot 👍
I can plug the Ditto X4 into the kemper (alt input i can show you if you need it) Does anyone know if this can be plugged into the loop in the kemper?
Hi. This is a video on the TRIO, not the Ditto. We'll be bringing those in soon, but I have no idea
How do you amplify Trio when you play without phones, on my guitar amp it's very bad.
This video might help ua-cam.com/video/tMSYqgsqy_I/v-deo.html
Hello im a pedal guy as well , i have a question about this Trio +. what im wanting to do is send my Drums and Bass to two different amps so i can set the EQ differently for them , does this pedal have that option or will the bass and drums always go to the same source ?
Thanks for the question. Unfortunately it doesn’t split the signal between bass and drums.
@@ThePedalGuy thanks for the help.
@@BryanDenham Sure thing. Note that you can use the 1/8" output on the back to create a stereo feed of the bass and drums, which sounds a bit better than the 1/4" mono
When starting a song, what notes are needed? Say the song is an A G and D throughout, what would be the starting notes for those chords?
Please watch the entire TRIO playlist. It will answer your questions.
Hi PG - do you cover 'Storing a song' in any of your tutorials? I must be doing something wrong 'cause it doesn'r work for me. Thanks. JC
Thanks for the question. It actually should store your song automatically as you’re creating it. Once you have filled up your 12 songs on the Trio, you should then use the trio software to back it up onto your computer.
so you can make your own bass part then add in a rhythm part then a lead (solo) part correct
The TRIO builds a bass and drum part based on the chords or single notes you play into it
Also, what if the song has a bridge in it where the chords and tempo changes?
Please watch the entire TRIO playlist. It will answer your questions.
Is this for recording OR can it be used to perform live gigs?
You can do either
If I were to play the same progression, same feel, same genre, and the same style would every band backing be the same?
Thanks for the question. Well, kind of. You can always introduce a different bass part by using the simple bass function.
Also, when you change the dynamic of the part, that will introduce a variation as well. Hope that helps.
Can anyone help with a query-I have the pedal plugged in to my amp but the sound quality is awful. I mean, it’s bearable and still works, but it sounds fuzzy and if I use the guitar fx switch top left? It sounds worse!
I’m not a tech guru so any advice would be welcome!
Thanks for the question. Have you tried plugging it into a mixer to compare?
ThePedalGuy I haven’t no, do you have any recommendations? Really appreciate you getting back to us!
Scott Wheadon sure thing. I would try plugging into a mixer to hear if it’s an output problem. Also just a basic question but do you have the dirty channel engaged on your amp?
Can I use this looper with www.thomann.de/intl/harley_benton_tube5_celestion.htm tube amp (I read tube amps can't work with the effects those have built in preams)
Should work fine.
Hello Tarik
Did you buy the trio?
Works with your amp?
Brilliant video, thanks
I’m on the steep learning curve with trio +.
When I teach band a simple progression I can get good bass and drum from band but how do I create a loop
of chords over band, every time I try the looper just keeps playing my chords over and over even when I’ve just played progression twice?
Watch the rest of the series. All your questions will be answered
@@ThePedalGuy Will do thanks
@@a1terrier2 The loop can not be longer than the band part. So you'll need to create a longer band part to be able to record a longer loop.
@@roxville thanks for reply.
How do you do a factory rest for Trio Plus Looper and Band Creator Pedal?
This should do it
1.Press and hold the Guitar FX and Alt Time buttons while connecting the power supply.
2. When the lights start to cycle, you can let go of the buttons.
3. When the cycle wheel is fully lit, you may power the pedal off.
@@ThePedalGuy Cool. Thx alot Pedal Guy
@@ThePedalGuy Cool Thx U
tell me about setting 4/4 timing and and bpm for songs
Please watch the TRIO playlist. All your questions will be answered.
Every time I plug it in the 5 lights at the top are flashing yellow the whole time
Sounds like you should do a reset
Is there anything for us acoustic electric players??
Works fine with acoustic guitar
Great review man, I'm really considering buying this pedal but i was wondering can you plug it into a DAW like reaper?
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can plug it into a DAW if you'd like. There's no synchronization but you can plug it in if you want to record what's on the pedal. Hope that helps.
@@ThePedalGuy Yeah that's basically what i wanted to do, create a song on the pedal then record it onto reaper, thanks for the reply man, new subscriber here :)
@@tgdb4968 You bet. Glad to help and thanks for the sub. There's a ton of TRIO vids here. Check them out. Planning to shoot a new set of TRIO Tuesday's soon.
@@ThePedalGuy Yeah i just noticed you have quite a few vids on the TRIO pedal, great stuff.
Can you use a trio+ with a Pod Go?
Yes. This video shows you how to use it with a Headrush. It’s essentially the same set up with a pod go. ua-cam.com/video/wiMYyrdekW4/v-deo.html
WhAt setting do I use for polka beat with my accordion?
I know there are some 3/4 time patterns on the TRIO. That should do the trick.
@@ThePedalGuy the polka is 4 / 4 time.
Excellent video. Can anyone recommend a mixing monitor that the bass and drums could go through? Thanks
Probably a frfr speaker would be best.
@@ThePedalGuy Thankyou 👌👍
Av got a fast part and am tryna use tye metronome for a different part but cant get same tempo, help please av been at it all day lol
This video should help you with this. ua-cam.com/video/PW0YQVNDsao/v-deo.html
@@ThePedalGuy Thankyou I was going loopy there for a few hours lol
@@ThePedalGuy Thay video was perfect, and finally how long can you record musoc on each part ?
So the guitar bass and drums play over and over again and i can solo to it? So bass, drums, my chords, then I solo on top?
Yes exactly
Could it handle for example.. Hey Joe.. Or is it too much?
@@jayslam6061 it should. Watch my TRIO Tuesday vids. That should answer your questions
What if you just want a looper? Many guys would prefer the tones from their current configuration.
You can just use the looper if you’d like.
How does the looper compare to the rc1 looper, not the band
It's a solid decent looper. Very straightforward.
Yo, can you loop at the same time you tell the band part what to play?
Hi. No, first you teach it, then you loop.
Help!!! I can't clear a part on my Trio +. I have followed the manual exactly over and over but I can't get the BAND LED to turn green or solid red when teaching a part. It seems to be on just one of the parts I created- the other parts seem to be functioning normally. Is it because I can only clear the last recorded part? If so, does that mean the entire song I created has to be scrapped because of one part I can't clear? I have tried a factory reset several times but as soon as the unit comes back on, the BAND LED is still flashing red slowly. If I press it, it goes to flashing red quickly and I can't teach it a new part by playing. If I press the BAND footswitch again, it goes back to flashing red slowly. If I hold the BAND footswitch down for 2 seconds it just goes back to flashing red quickly again.
Also, when I look at the song in Trio Manager, the problem part- Part #1- is greyed out- like it doesn't exist at all. What is going on?
NM. I think that when I did the factory reset, I plugged the guitar cord into mixer and the mixer cord into guitar input- therefore, it couldn't record a new part because it wasn't getting a signal. Just wondering why it had to be reset in the first place. Have you ever seen that?
Hi Brian. Not sure why it needed to be reset at all but sometimes that just happens. At least you can in fact reset it and get going again.
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for confirming that sometimes it just happens. I thought that I had done something myself. When it happened, I was playing around with the FS3X pedal that I just got. It almost seems like something with that caused the initial problem. Prior to getting that pedal, I didn't have any problems.
@@gbferrell Make sure you watch his video on the switch! Things can happen depending on how you plug it in.
Ok, I'm a live performer, maybe do 30 to 40 songs each gig, can I use this pedal?
Yes, as long as you have enough SD cards to cover that many songs.
@@ThePedalGuy how bout a BIG card?
@@themollymaguiresband.142 probably not. As per the manual "The TRIO+ autosaves all songs and loops on the included microSD card. Up to 12 songs (each with up to 5
parts with loops) can be stored to an installed microSD card."
Hello! How to undo loops and undo creations or erase things?
Thanks for the question. I have covered this several times through the other TRIO vids on this channel. Have a look and you’ll find the answers.
@@ThePedalGuy my fault, of course. I've watched all your vids about trio but I don't remember. Please tell me which one at least... so I going to check. tnx
@@misterhelmetmagazine8984 hi. I'd love to but I'm not sure exactly. But I have covered it several times before. Sorry but I have a lot of other projects underway at this moment.
Can this be used with an acoustic guitar?
Yes absolutely.
Watch my second TRIO Tuesday session. Used my trusty Martin.
What if i press the loop button and it doesnt do anything
Might need to reset the pedal
How do you save a song?
Hi Charles. I have covered this several times through my TRIO Plus series.
Can this be operated at eye level rather than on the floor . This would give more flexibility and interaction . Is there a Bluetooth app for a device
There isn’t a Bluetooth solution unfortunately
@@ThePedalGuy these days - I like a screen at eye height - some amps have control on phones or tablets - makes life a little easier if the object is far away
@@georgefenning4844 I agree, but the pedal is what it is. They haven't updated it in a long time and I don't know if there's a planned update or not.
@@ThePedalGuy sure- its functioiality is very good. worth putting up with the difficualites. I see a lot of people operating it on a desk rather than on the floor. These big metal buttons and a hard finger press. But i can understand their temptation . I would do the same
Sounds like Neil and Geddy
LOL. Thx
Thanks for the vid. It was a little intimidating at first but once I dove right in and hit pause button at certain parts it was easy. The drums still continue for like a half measure after the guitar part ends but I think it just takes a little more getting used to. Endless Hey Joe now!
thorquest very true. The pedal is like an instrument. Just takes practice! Good luck!
@@ThePedalGuy Wow no one's ever responded to my replies, tweets, etc. Before. Much respect!
This would be the perfect machine if i can SEE the loops via "racetrack"or any way beside 1 blinking light.. so i can know where am i on the loop...May be it will come with the new edition..
There are no plans for an updated version at this point. The Headrush Looperboard or singular Sound Aeros might be what you’re looking for
@@ThePedalGuy thanx that is a good idea
How do you selct or change the track - not the part - the track - thanks
Do you mean change the song? Not quite sure what you mean.
@@ThePedalGuy After you have recorded five parts - you have completed one song - right? So how do you change to the next group of parts to record another five parts for another song?
For example: The RC 500 you can store 99 songs.
@@allenklein7462 press the Song button and use the Style knob to select one of 12 different songs.
@@ThePedalGuy Great! Thanks
I have this pedal, and i dont use it much.. Its pretty much a gimmick, but if you wanna practice to a metronome that sound a little like drums and a mechanical bass player that can go crazy in least expected moments, and your own loops then this might do the job to some degeree. It wont create a rockstar band for you, but rather construct some usable patterns you can practice to.. Sure, you can go wild and play live session with it if you dig hard in to it, but you will be much better off with a real band or at least backup track. This thing can construct anything so you never know what it will come up with, therefore it is not 100% suited for live performances.
Thanks for the thoughts Jack. However, you might want to watch a couple of my TRIO Tuesday's. It's a great tool to use in a live environment. Also, be sure to subscribe to the channel for all of the TPG content here.
Can you not be listening to the band and then come in with your loop rather than starting dry like that?
I don't get it. You played a riff (4 notes) but it played back something quite different.
It creates a style around the notes.
Pedal guy is a good name but I think if you change guy with files it be a cooler name
🤦🏼♂️🤷♂️
Hey, man! Where's the option for reggae?
There's no reggae option but look at the list of styles in the manual on page 36 and work with the Alt time function. You'll probably find a way to a reggae rhythm.
Wankier got me 😂😂😂
LOL
4:50 did you mean wonkier? The word you used doesn't mean what you think it means. Well not in the UK at least 😁
Very funny. Used to live in the UK so I get it
