Hi there, anybody uing the Trio via the Kemper and is happy with the result/Setup. Looking into buying a Trio and
just wanted to know how good they can run in a combined set-up.
Guess ist not possible to use the full Looping functionality combined with diffent profiles on the fly

I'm using one and I'm very happy with the results.
My use is for practicing/rehearsing purposes only though.
I dont incorporate the Trio+ into my live setup.
Most of the time I put the KPA into the loop of the Trio+
Thanks for the quick reply Ingolf. Yes I would only be using it for practising puposes too.
I am using the PowerHead but surely could just run the additional Outputs into the Trio+ and then into
some seperate Speakers.
Guess there a lot of ways of hooking this unit up ...
Yes, I go Trio+ input >> Trio send >> KPA input >> KPA output (not the cab one obviously) >> Trio return >> into my powered FRFR.
Hey, I just uploaded this - messing around with a Digitech Trio Plus through the Kemper.
I've had it a couple of days, it's a great little tool for practising but having the added element of the bassline which can be quite active in a nice way.Not sure how suited to live performance it is, seems like the first go through teaching the Trio the changes could be dull, for on the fly stuff I feel the Boss RC300 is a bit more flexible...But the inbuilt drum loops are better in the Trio probably...
Thanks a lot for sharing ...great playing John
More than likely this will be my next purchase in a month or 2.
Guys, thanks for sharing!
One question: I understand Ingolf's chain, but how to wire when having an active Kemper in front of a passive FRFR box?
Many thanks, Lars
Ordered over the weekend along with the footswitch. Plan on having the pedal itself on top of the Kemper (about chest height when I sit on my bed) and the footswitch on the ground with the Kemper remote.

I guess, this is my problem too; I followed your chain, but get no tone out of my box. I have a KPA power head and a Mission Enginneering Gemini GM-1P as Speaker. What can I do? Thank your for your help.
Hi Sophos,
I sold the Trio meanwhile, but it was connected like this – if I remember correctly: Guitar into Kemper, Kemper Direct Output/Send to TP FX Return In, TP FX Send into Kemper Return Input. This way you'll use the Kemper Effects Loop but you have to add a "LOOP MONO" into one of the effects slots (Lock it in its slot when it's working to avoid having to re-add this every time you chose a different rig). This is where the effects loop is inserted into the Kemper routing.
Best, Lars
I've had a Trio and Trio+, and noticed some interesting behavior with its frequency response. It appears that Digitech included a high end rolloff (low pass filter) with the highs set at 4.2kHz as one might expect for a guitar speaker emulation. The low pass filter seems to be on the phones and mixer out; everything sent through those outputs has the rolloff. The amp out has a flat response to 20kHz or beyond. Low end is flat down to 10Hz in all cases I measured.
In case you connect the unit with the headphones or mixer out, and notice it sounds dull in the highs, that is the reason.
Here is the config and settings I use:
Guitar to KPA INPUT
KPA DIRECT OUT to Trio+ Guitar In
KPA MONITOR OUT to Trio+ Fx Return
Trio+ headphone output to KPA RETURN INPUT and ALTERNATIVE INPUT
KPA MAIN OUTPUT to studio monitors
KPA HEADPHONE to headphones
When in 'Teaching Mode', the Trio+ uses just the dry guitar signal on its 'Guitar In' port. When recording Loops, the Trio+ uses the signal on the 'Fx Return' port.
KPA Output settings for Teaching / Looping:
DIRECT OUT: Git Analog (this is the unprocessed / dry guitar signal)
MONITOR OUT: Master Mono
KPA Output settings for Playback:
MONITOR OUT: Off (this prevents having your solo'ing guitar signal being fed back into the KPA from the Trio+)
The 'Guitar In' on the Trio+ is ignored during Playback when the 'Fx Return' port has a connector plugged into it so you don't need to turn off the DIRECT OUT on the KPA too.
Adjust the various volumes for these outputs so everything is happy. This includes adjusting the 'headphones' out volume on the Trio+.
So, the only thing I do when going from teaching and loop creation to playing along with the Trio+ is to turn the MONITOR OUT off on the KPA by rolling the knob. No external switches, juggling of cables or unwanted signal duplication.
