Get to know them!





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 theDigiTech 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.
