NUX (a Cherub company) recently released the Trident guitar amplifier and effects modeler (NME-5). This unit offers much for an excellent price, and NUX have certainly come up with the goods with the Trident. The target market is already very crowded but NUX should do well with the NME-5 with all the features this unit offers musicians.
It's a small unit suitable for many uses, it can be used without even using the editing software; if you're one of those musicians that don't like playing around with software, then the NME-5 Trident could be for you. In many ways, although the unit is completely up to date and includes many of the newer features like amp modelling, IR loading and much more, the design allows any user to operate the device from the control knobs alone. The I/O is excellent.
But of course there is more to the Trident than just a few controls, and NUX have thought very carefully about how to make the unit and include many aspects that other companies simply don't supply. Things like this: although the MIDI ports on the unit are 3.5mm jack sockets, NUX included two converters that make those MIDI ports absolutely standard 5 pin DIN connectors; they included a USB type C port rather than the older mini/micro USB as found on competitive devices - and even included the USB cable. There's even an on/off switch! No more forgetting that the unit is turned on (as with many Roland devices) - now you can easily turn it on and off! Just a few examples of NUX designing the perfect modeling pedal.
The Trident NME-5 is really a bargain at the price offered. You could use the Trident for home use, studio use, on-stage gigging and of course many more uses, for many types of musicians.
NUX will confirm on their website at www.nuxefx.com/ about the included processor and processing power of the NME-5, the included 'chop tones' and other features. There are a substantial number of amplifiers, cabs, IR's and much more included and those features help make the NME-5 Trident a powerful device, but at a cost effective price without affecting the overall power of the unit.
One of the things I liked about the Trident is the simplicity of use when using the unit for the first time; any user will quickly develop in to an expert through use, its so easy to pick up. And that included editing software is very simple and uncomplicated to use. In the review it all installed first time in to a Windows 10 computer (works on all later versions too) and even upgrading the firmware looks really easy to complete.
The Trident is really a breath of fresh air in this sector of the market, its relatively low cost, has great features, and NUX ensure that no matter what, you ALWAYS get more than you thought you were getting - and that's a really great way to be as a maker.
Check out the overall score that I gave the NME-5 Trident from NUX and remember that this is a completely genuine and truthful review.
Lastly, myself and Alan Bruce play through the NUX Trident pedal with a few of different settings and guitars as an example of the tones that were in the unit by default. We did NOT add any other effects - what you hear is what's in the unit. There are a multitude of Pro players using NUX these days check them out.
The Trident was supplied to my by NUX for review on this occasion, but make no mistake that this is, and will always be for all equipment a completely truthful review.
