Perfect for live applications, the TRIDENT offers plenty of I/O options. The SEND/RETURN effect loop for external effects, 2 balanced XLR outputs to the PA system, PHONES output for monitoring, EXP. PEDAL input for adding an expression pedal, MASTER VOL pot, and MIDI IN/OUT. Updated iconic TSAC-4K Amp Modeling for a new hardware platform with 2 DSPs, one to handle the effects, the other for amp modeling algorithm.

Amp modeling algorithm comes fully loaded with features and functionality, including 27 amps feature HIGH/LOW inputs, and 4 inputs for patch cable jumping. TRIDENT is a powerful IR loader and includes 27 Cab IRs at 1024 sample resolution. Fine tune your Cab tone with 4 microphones (3 positions each). The knob layout, toggle switches, and foot switches of the TRIDENT are akin to stomp boxes, you can engage/disengage the effects freely.

The TRIDENT includes a 30 seconds phrase looper and you can adjust the looper position as PRE or POST. In PRE, the recorded loop is clean and ready to be processed by the TRIDENT Amps and Effects. In POST, the recorded loop is processed by the TRIDENT. It can also be used as a powerful studio device, a perfect USB-C Audio Interface for guitar. You can download Trident Editor™ from the product page to edit patches, and setup the USB routing. Record your TRIDENT tracks to your favorite DAW or use it as a re-amp device to breathe new life into your previously recorded audio tracks.

And this is all just scratching the surface of what the NME-5 Trident Multi Effects Guitar Processor and Amp Modeler is capable of doing.
