JeffB Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Ive never been all that taken by loop pedals. Ive always just recorded tracks to play over on what ever multi track recording device or program I have had. I got the Boss GT-100 and it has a loop function and I use it a lot more than I thought I would. But its too short a loop time. So I got a digitech loop pedal and its alright. Im waiting for the digitech trio's to come in and will grab one. Solves a few problems. Will dumb down my already meager bass chops over time I guess. Product info http://digitech.com/en/products/trio# A vid that doesnt explain it fully but is quick and a bit funny. A vid that goes into a bit more depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0aj15 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've had one on back-order from Sweetwater for three weeks now, the sales rep says they're WAAAYY backed up on this pedal because of it's popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulk1 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I just started to post sounds like Band in a Box in a Pedal. And then there it was, right there on the screen. "Styles by Band in a Box". Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 After watching a few videos of that pedal, I've added my name to the wait list.... Also going to try the new mini-Crybaby too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmac Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Seems that the demand outpaced production.. There was also a parts shortage too. So we wait.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 and now another opinion, and you know what they say about opinions... you know that joke about nothing better than a boat full of lawyers sinking to the bottom of the sea, well I think they can take a bag of these and vocal harmonizers and use them as an anchor. now get off my lawn. hire a drummer, learn how to play solid rhythm, and sing the other parts if you want to hear them.

How about you just tell us what you really think instead of trying to be all word crafty and diplomatic. Ive got decades worth of recorded tracks and ideas. Cassettes, rolls, zips, cd, hard drives all full of inspiration and banality. This is just another method of getting to the core of it with out the futzing around. Hire a drummer!!!! Alll that pizza breath and bad manners. Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of it for more of a practice tool for those of us who don't play guitar for a living and have limited time, space, and resources to be worrying about a full band. Besides the pay-cut, there has to be a reason why you are a one-man-band with no drummer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmac Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yea I'm thinking this is a great practice tool. Just to work on riffs, timing ect. Anyway all my friends that play are too busy with work, kids and honey do's. Soo would nice to feel like I'm playing along with a band anytime I want to jam. And I get to pick the style and key..

JeffB Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 So I tried one today. Its fun. I had fun. I didnt read the instructions, no one should really have to to get up and jamming in the time it takes to strum a few chords. Its stupid easy to use. The bass and drums sound about as good as digital bass and drums sound going through a guitar amp. I used a Mesa Express 5:25 head on the cleanest setting through a Marshall 2061cx cab. I used a ts9 between the guitar and the Trio. There is a line out for a PA or similar(studio monitors) I rocked the amp room for a whole 5minutes until I ran out of ideas and knobs to turn and then handed it all over to a co worker who we lost the use of for an hour or so while he forgot where he was and what he was meant to be doing. The simplicity of the Trio and the variations of genres and styles contained in it make for a time sink. I just couldnt afford to lose that time today and did find out all I needed to know about it in 5minutes. Its that simple to use I think its a great practice tool. Its quick and easy. I dont think its amazing. I think its a fun and useful tool. I will get one and use it for working on licks and phrasing and general goofing around and distraction instead of replacing the guttering, mowing lawns, changing oil and all the things Ive found ways of avoiding over the years. You really need the digitech accessory footswitch to get the most out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I've had mine on back order for a couple weeks, footswitch is coming with it. My intention is to run it to the clean channel on a Peavey Bandit while playing my guitar on a Marshall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs I've done, the guitar parts walk the bass line. single note and diad riffage etc confuses it. Best to work out the underlying chords of the riff and strum them through the progression so the trio can "learn" what bass notes to use. If you just through a scatter of notes at it it cant figure out what you want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpuma Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 how does it work with complex chords? for example if you play a C6, does it recognize as a C6 or as Am7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 how does it work with complex chords? for example if you play a C6, does it recognize as a C6 or as Am7? Sometimes it seemed to not quite get things. But over all it did alright. The more solid the chords root note the better it worked. Im not a complex chord using type of player.

t0aj15 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 From the manual; "Stick to major/minor and 7th chords as much as possible when teaching the chord progression. You can always play more complex chords when you are jamming." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
