Or so you think.

realizing you're a robot working for free for a guy playing in coffeeshops, being more important than a drummer but less appreciated than a bass player - at the same time.






I can't believe i spent time making that.

I don't know y'all. Seems more fun than a metronome for in-time jamming. Maybe easier than programming and mastering/exporting junk in fruity loops or whatever. Seems perfect if your shitty SRV tribute band can't find a drummer or bassist just slow blues shuffle that 3/4 all night. It lets people have less targets to throw their bottles at. Everyone wins.

Seriously though(or More seriously, I should say), if I had one. Likely into a FM4 and then find a cheap DL4 and butcher th sounds and it could be cool. The intended use isn't for everyone but that's okay. A couple dorks can use it on pop and setting one all day in coffee shop. I would have used it 10 years ago when band members didn't show for practice. It could be cool. And it might free up real bassist and dummers.

u mean like easier than actually writing/creating your own music?

I like where this is going. Loving the photoshop/paint. Carry on, gentlemen.

Nah, I mean easier than replicating a bland catch-all drum and bass part in a silly computer program. Stepping on a button is a lot easier than clicking a mouse 1,000 times.

I kinda hate this concept. But I would love to fuck around with one, see what makes her glitch.

Go stereo with this and a Miku Stomp.

Aaaaaah, turning the functional dysfunctional. You guys are the best.

I wanna voltage starve this and pretend I'm Jandek.

I'm with Active on this one
I don't get to jam with any one ever, can't program drums, and absolutely hate typical digital interfaces...but then again, that's why I bought one of those $50 Zoom things.

yoooo

It's like a pedal for a brief stage in life.

You got a guitar. Awesome!
You can play it a little. Great!
You don't have people to play with. ????
You either figure out how to make awesomeness by yourself or you find people. I'm not sure I would want to substitute these two solutions for the band in a box pedal, but i can see the appeal. My last year of guitar life has been equal parts learning how to awesome on my own and finding people. I wouldn't want to substitute these with getting better at playing how I did before, because now I play way differently in a way I love. Would have never happened stuck in the confines of the box.

I'm totally not talking about myself here but some people are hobby-time or don't really care about doing anything but shittty blooze covers. Not to be biased, but as someone who has run into the problem, I'd much rather real musicians be availible to make real music than playing with a wanna-be-guttar-gawd just because its a chance to play. I think the Trio will help. Dorks who don't care to know the difference will use it. Cool. People who have been socially blacklisted get to jam on a whim. Rad. Some of us will use the pedal as Unintended Use. Yeah it will make some buskers more annoying or some acoustic pop coffee shop artkids more annoying, but I think it is a neat little pedal that will help everyone. Even if that help is keeping Guitar Center shredders out of Guitar Center.

BOOOO HISS HISS
