        Just added a digitech trio pedal to my board – anyone tried one of these? It’s not really something I’d gig with but for home practice its pretty cool. You just have to ‘teach it’ a chord progression by playing it with your guitar then when you step on the pedal it produces a drum/bass backing track to jam to. Its not a looper as such and you could add your rhythm playing to a looper to use alongside it, but on its own it works really well. Its not unlike a drum box but with this you don’t have to program the key or chords – just play it into the pedal using your guitar. Once it ‘learns’ the progression and picks up the tempo it starts playing a suitable backing for you. You can control the tempo and style as well to experiment. Great for writing your own songs as well – very inspiring bit of kit.

          Sounds cool. You should do a quick demo of it for the forum. But only if you are up for it. I would love to see it.

            I have one on my board… and I LOVE that thing! So easy to use! Can actually make you sound half way descent! Ha ha! I also have a Beat Buddy pedal that is pretty cool, but a little more difficult to use than the Trio. I will upload a video with a backing that I made using the Trio and playing lead over it with one of the lessons from Brian, The Allman Brothers EP030 (once I get the nerve).

            Glad to know someone else out there love techy gear! 🙂
