Although I have yet to start composing parts with this, I upgraded from the regular Trio to this Trio Plus because of the looper, extra rythems, ability to create dynamic changes, and the ability to create and even store more songs. The trio plus is definitely more of a challenge to master, but worth the time required. If you want only great bass and drum accompaniment, and spend less, then stick with the very easy to learn regular Trio. However, either one is as helpful as it gets as a practice tool. You can dump your little drum machine, and looper if you get the Trio Plus, as you will find this light years ahead.

It does take a while to learn how to use. You must at least go through the quick start guide a few times. You must concentrate on how you play your rhythm for the "learn" sequences - sometimes it seems the drummer loses the beat and you have to re-teach it the rhythm. Also the bass will sometimes get too loud in spots. I haven't put that many patterns on it yet, so maybe it's just me having to get used to it. It does make practice a lot more fun, as you have a bass and drummer always there and you don't have to program a drum machine. I run it through a small PA in my music room. All the controls and features seem to work as advertised. One undesirable feature is there is no song ending built in, such as fade or drum sequence or timing retard. You just have to end a song abruptly.

all in all a good device. I'm sure you already know what it does, i will try to give you my first hand impressions after fiddling around with it for 3 hours now that I've got one.. the pedal sounds best if its at the front of the pedal chain. last in pedal chain, or after the preamp (via fx loop behind your amp). still the bass and drum sounds are a bit muffled but can be mostly tweaked away using your amp's basic treb/mids/bass correctly (mids at 3 o'clock, treble at 12 o'clock max, bass at 1 o'clock).. drum routines are fun to play around with, tempo means a lot, a rhythm you don't like at one speed can sound fabulous at another setting level. the sound sequencer is fun bkz you can change drum n bass tempos within the same song i,e, verse and chorus.. so a two part song can easily be recorded on this machine, obviously not at studio quality but good enough to have your friends listen. it has a button for a simpler bass line, which is good in the faster genres (metal, rock)... has an sd card (mine came with a 8 GB one) where you can save what you recorded, and then, although i haven't tried it yet, you can plug n play in your pc. i think this is wav so you'll need a wav converter into mp3 (downloadable thru internet) i say its worth the price.. hope this helps....Read full review

The Digitech Trio is a really fun pedal. Whenever I have some time, I plug my Fender Showmaster into this thing, and send the amp out to my Fender Pro Jr. and the mixer output to my Yamaha mixer, which then sends the signal to my 600w PA speakers. Using the Foot Switch, I can program a chord progression (including 3 parts) then jam with the drums and bass that this pedal provides. I like the new features of the "simple bass" as the standard bass is a little too lively for most of what I am looking for. I liked the pedal so much, I recently upgraded to the Trio+, which in my opinion, really makes this pedal functional.

Such a huge improvement over the the original Trio. You will develop better ideas on your own with this "Band in a box" pedal. Read the manual well and you will avoid needless frustration. Having an on board looper is great, but having a looper you can lay tracks on top of is better. Memory card will store up to 12 songs for easy access. I highly recommend watching product detailed videos on this, as you will have a more in depth idea of what this is capable of that words can not explain. Great writing tool.
