Most awesome pedal ever? Trio + Band Creator who needs mates? 

Cheers! Yep for anyone at any level this pedal is awesome! :)

Thank you! These are are great pedals, Full manual link in the description to help if needed as I didnt quite cover it all. have fun!

Thank you! Yep its a great pedal, I often use it for intros and sometimes finishes, just a great pedal all round.

Yep its a case of simple works. Experimenting a bit with chords and timing, even with quite a few changes and the pedal does a great job.

With single lines, you can almost teach it bass lines

Cheers for comment I never thought of trying it. Also the beauty of independant volume pots as can lower the drums and raise the bass.@@lancenunez8252

7th chords work better then single strings I have found. 2 string chords that is.

Thanks for the comment, its good hearing from people who use this gear. It really is a very useful pedal in many ways and really well built to last.

Cheers for watching and the comment, nice to hear how folks get on with this gear. Its a really useful tool thats for sure.

Thanks for commenting, yep if nothing else it really is a great training aid in so many ways. It is definitely the best pedal I have bought that inspires me to grab a guitar and keep trying to get better.

Exactly, that's what I got out of the Kawai Session Trainer...band practice without the band! Also, nowadays, there's many free backing track websites. Where was all this when I was young ???!!!@@stevegroves

I had a Kawai Session trainer too

For the time, wasn't it great !?! I've been wanting to dig mine up outta the basement. I'm not sure where the power adapter is, but I can still use it with batteries. It's midi capable and I was wondering, now with computers, if I can manipulate the internal sounds? I was thinking about hooking it up to my Zoom Livetrak L20 mixer/recorder.@@stevewhitton8671

Cool! Definitely my most useful and most used pedal, they are superb for the money.

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking time to watch the video and for making the comment. I do these vids for fun and hopefully to help fellow guitar enthusiasts by supplying personal, and honest unpaid reviews of gear :)

@@stevegroves absolutely, Sr. Thanks for making these content.

@@ricardomartinez8160 You are most welcome more vids to come :)

Thank you!

Cool! Thanks for your comment, its great to hear how folk use their gear. Have to say its the most used and useful pedal I have on my board. Great for song / track development and as a practice tool. Best money pedal wise I have ever spent....so far :)

@@stevegroves fully agree! I am also using it for building backing track for songs with verse, chorus, bridge. I can build entire songs very fast and use it live. Increadible

@@monteiro4100 Same here have developed many tracks using this pedal its awesome!

Thank you! I have no excuses for not improving my playing! :)

Yep such a useful pedal all round!

Cool! Thanks for the comment, always good to hear how folks use their gear, always helpful :)

Cool! Reckon you will love it, takes a bit of practice but such a useful pedal.

You help quite a bit . Downloaded the PDF to go with manual that came w/pedal . Red fx channel is hot .

@@radarstationalexchiander4285 Thank you! Its what I want my channel to be about, just gear, and gear chat and advice. Have fun with the pedal!

Can you connect to Bluetooth speaker using cable into aux/mic ? I have a 50w Bluetooth Onn speaker thinking about using .

@@radarstationalexchiander4285 The headphone out jack is designed to drive standard headphones so will have quite a low level amplifier circuit. It would most likely work if connected to an active speaker with its own built in amp. A Bluetooth transmitter plugged in here connected via Bluetooth to an active Bluetooth speaker will probbaly be ok. Sorry I cant be of more help.

These are really useful pedals :)

@@stevegroves Yeah, I have the ext foot switches as well.

Thanks for the comment I used google translate as my French is not very good! Its a great pedal I use mine evert day .

Thank you! OK I believe the drum / bass settings can be set at the level you need, and will record at that level. They can be adjusted louder on playback if required. Style setting, It will change segment setting within the style according to speed and style of chords played, you can rotate control back on playback to see if it still suits what you wanted. I guess an outro can be recorded by selecting another section as you can record up to 5 sections within a track setting. I often record an intro, main section then an outro. I use the pedal often as a looper, just recording some backing that I then play lead over, its a great tool for this. You can just record a guitar loop without using the band part. I use this pedal for producing full tracks by also recording on a laptop using an audio interface, using this pedal for playing backing.

@@stevegroves Thanks. So on your outro, does it end with a cymbal crash like a proper outro? I dunno. Seems like the style wheel does it's own thing. I don't change a thing and then I look and all the settings are mixed up and it's beating away at 2x the speed. It's fiddly. I nail it sometimes- I use the ALT Time and Simple Bass buttons a lot. For known tunes or musical ideas I am going to start writing down a log of which settings sound best with what I want to play. I will note the Genre and Style. The Audiolastic feature is cool too but if you touch it off high noon, you cannot record anymore- it's done. I gravitate towards Rock, R&B, Latin and Jazz. I love Blues but not fond of how the Trio does "Blues." All in all, it's a great practice tool that, in a pinch can be used live if you save multiple SD cards and note how you saved them. The software is pretty basic but works. I am curious what that other bloke was starting to say about Drum Effects. It is too bad that this company was sold and there will not be more development on this platform. I suppose Band in A Box is a more capable package but it's softward and not much fun as this plug and play form factor. Imagine a Trio+ v2 with better drums, added Keyboards; more controls and better PC editor and more I/O. It would be great to send guitar and drums out to separate outputs. I have a sweet set-up. I use (2) Y cables. I have it going out to a sub and, 2 studio monitors and an acoustic amp. A mixer might work better but this actually does the job and saves me room. I then, have a pedal board on it's own completely independant path. My Godin xTSA guitar has two outputs (Piezo and Elec. pup.) I can play my loop/band, then come in with the full power of my Electric Guitar and pedalboard which I have powering 3 different, very high quality amps including one hand wired tube amp. My gear is clearly superior to my level as a player- but on a good day I almost sound good!

@@UTAH100 Yep it often ends with a symbol crash which kind of works. Sounds like you have a good set up! Thanks for all the details this can really help folks and of course bring in comments from folks that use similar setups. I think the Boss RC10R has much better drums as you can also download drum patterns from a library and have far more control on drum starts and finishes. I have yet to try one but if I ever was to replace the trio it would be with the Boss. For what it is the Trio + really is a superb pedal, reckon I use it more than anything else. Its also great for using with recording software. Thanks again for all your detailed comments, really appreciate them.

@@stevegroves Thanks. A huge take away is your drums and bass will sounds worlds better going out to STUDIO MONITORS, not an amp. Using a Y cable I go out to a home theatre $800 sub woofer. The Studio monitors have tweeters so you hear the cymbals in all their glory. Then, again, I use my pedalboard to jam over whatever band creation I make. I suppose I could mic and record the whole thing if I ever wanted to but I am just a casual at home jammer these days. Point is, each instrument likes it's own type of speaker. Guitar amps are really just for Guitar tones and there are three types: mostly clean or light drive like a Fender Reverb, Distortion focused amp (I use a Boss Katana via a A/B/Y pedal) and an Acoustic Amp for all things clean and Acoustic. No tonal compromises. To my ear, drums and cymbals coming out of a regular guitar amp sounds god awful. Like a speaker playing underwater. My set up actually sounds like a real band is in the room. Adding FRFR monitors is the trick. They work great with modelers too.

I use a Fender Champion 100 via its clean channel and TBH it replicates the drums and bass quite well. Guess its twin 12" speakers help. I am planning a bit of a studio where other amps will be required. My wife plays drums so hoping to do some recording together. All for fun, but thats what its all about.@@UTAH100

You can store up to 12 tracks, each with 5 segments directly onto the card fitted into the Trio. If you load the trios free software onto a laptop you can then read, store and rename all the tracks that are then saved onto the laptop.

@@stevegroves❤😯❤thank you for you help. I am still learning how to use it. I bought it in 2020 for my child music lessons. And it was said to be a waste of time. With exception of simple backer. I do not have internet. I have a PC. And again if you have to have a PC there is PC programs that do more. That is what I be saying. And their is unlimited sound effects (no need for pedals) my opinion the Trio+ appears to be a duck. So brand new still in box . I wanted to try to sell it however. I hate losing that much money. So I thought let me try to get it to work. And that is why I Am on here.... My other complaint is no on off switch. So you must unplug it. But like I am still learning. And at some point I might really get some use. Out of it. The plus my guess means all the extra gear you need to get it to work. Sorry its a Duck

@@missanthrope2 Its worth giving it some time. I just use extra SD cards, and have only backed up onto PC my more complex tracks then just reuse the SD cards. I use the pedal every time I play guitar, as often for practice I just record some backing chords (just use the left hand footswitch) very useful for learning. It does take practice to get the drums right but worth it as I have recorded several full song tracks for youtube using this pedal for bass, drums and my own backing. Yes its frustrating at times but keep at it. :)

@@stevegroves simple instruction manual does not even have the pictures for some reason ? I paid 30.00 to have it printed and many pages missing graphics and in the middle of the steps it tells you to refer to different 20 page the go there it refers you to different page so you wind up page jumping. Then you paid to print a half page and you have to rewrite the manual. Too?

@@stevegroves what was they trying to save by not just going step by step . when the user has to pay to print the manual. And the print shop charges full price for a blank page as a full page?

Thanks for the comments, yep its a superb and really useful pedal. Can I ask what effects to you add to improve the drums. Could be useful info for others using it at gigs, unless its a secret :)

What kind of effects do you add to the drums? How do I do this please?

I don't add drum effects, but if you record the pedal drums into a DAW I use Abletons you can add reverb or delay etc@@UTAH100

@@stevegroves Thanks. Do you use the 3 button pedal? Is it worth it? I actually have it but it seemed more work then it was worth getting it to work right.

No I never did get it as it didnt seem useful enough for the way I used the pedal. It obviously has it its uses but like I say not seen the need for it as yet.@@UTAH100

Thanks for comment, but it doesn't ned the internet to function or save work. It stores up to 12 tracks on the card. You can download a free bit of software onto a laptop which then allows you to save the card onto your laptop. It can then allow you to name each track what you want. You can then erase that card and start again. If you then want the stored tracks again, use the laptop and the software to re-load the tracks back onto the card.

Such a negative comment. It’s based on lack of knowledge. If you ask you’ll get the answers you need

Total and utter drivel

@@adamhaze8477 save time and just throw money in trash can.

@@adamhaze8477 trash

Excellent! Yep reckon mine gets used every time I plug in a guitar! Great pedal!
