The Digitech Trio+ Guitar Pedal is a game-changing tool for guitarists looking to expand their musical horizons. Imagine having a band at your fingertips, ready to jam along with your every riff and chord progression. This innovative pedal listens to your guitar playing and automatically generates bass and drum parts that perfectly complement your music. Whether you’re practicing, songwriting, or performing solo, the Trio+ empowers you to create full, dynamic songs on the fly.
Your Personal Band, Instantly Created
The core functionality of the Digitech Trio+ lies in its intuitive “Band Creator” mode. Teaching the pedal your song is incredibly simple: just plug in your guitar, engage the Band footswitch, play your chords and rhythm, and then hit the footswitch again. In moments, the Trio+ learns your song’s structure and generates custom bass and drum parts to accompany you. It’s like having session musicians ready to jump in whenever inspiration strikes.

You have complete control over your virtual band. Dedicated Bass and Drums knobs allow you to dial in the perfect mix, ensuring your guitar always sits comfortably within the sonic landscape. For further customization of the bass lines, the Simple Bass button lets you choose between three distinct bass modes, ranging from complex and busy to straightforward and simple, adapting to the needs of your song.
Beyond Backing Tracks: Looping and Song Creation
The Digitech Trio+ goes beyond just generating backing tracks. It’s also a powerful looper pedal, allowing you to layer guitar parts and build complete songs in real-time. Engage the Looper footswitch to record loops with unlimited overdubs. The dedicated Loop knob provides independent level control, so you can perfectly balance your looped guitar parts with the generated band.
Loops can be used independently, functioning as a traditional looper for creating ambient textures or layered riffs. However, the true power of the Trio+ emerges when you combine looping with the Band Creator. Imagine laying down a rhythm guitar loop and then having the Trio+ automatically generate bass and drums to accompany your evolving song structure. This synergy unlocks a world of creative possibilities for solo performers and songwriters.
The Digitech Trio+ seamlessly integrated into a guitarist’s pedalboard, demonstrating its compact size and versatility within a professional setup.
To further enhance your guitar tone, the Trio+ includes built-in guitar effects tailored to each music genre. Alternatively, for guitarists who prefer their own effects, the Trio+ offers FX Send and FX Return jacks, allowing you to integrate your favorite external pedals into the signal chain.
A World of Musical Styles at Your Feet
Variety is the spice of musical life, and the Digitech Trio+ delivers an impressive palette of sonic options. With 12 distinct music genres to choose from – including Blues, R&B, Rock, Alternative Rock, Metal, Pop, Electronic Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, Folk, Latin, and Jazz – you can explore a vast range of musical styles. Within each genre, there are 12 song styles available, selectable via the Style encoder, which also allows you to choose between 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures. Multi-colored LEDs around the Style encoder intelligently indicate which styles best match the tempo and feel of your song, guiding you towards the perfect accompaniment.

The Trio+ is designed for song creation from start to finish. It can learn up to 5 distinct song parts, such as intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and outro. These parts can be recalled on-the-fly during performance or pre-programmed as a sequence for automated playback, perfect for structured song arrangements. For expanded control, an optional DigiTech FS3X Footswitch can be connected, providing hands-free access to additional functions through its three selectable modes of operation.
