Connect USB cable to computer, and hold UP & REVERB foot switches to turn on TRIDENT, then you can enter to DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode to do firmware update. For more details, please visit product page to check the firmware update guide and download the newest firmware & Trident™ edit software.
(1)Firstly, make sure the TRIDENT and the connected amplifier (monitors or FRFR speakers) are turned off. Set the MASTER VOL to its’ minimum value. Connect your guitar to INPUT, and connect the related amplifiers (or monitors, FRFR speakers) to OUTPUT1 & OUTPUT2 or DI OUT1 & DI OUT2.
(2)Connect the including adaptor ACD-006 to the DC9V jack, and press the POWER button. And turn on the related amplifiers.
將機器附的變壓器ACD-006A接到DC9V接口,並按下POWER鍵開機。 此時將連接的音箱開機。
(3)Adjust the MASTER VOL pot to the desired position. (maybe less than the 50%)
Warning!! In order to offer you the best dynamic range of USB Streaming, the TRIDENT doesn’t attenuate the PC’s system playback volume. When using the TRIDENT as a USB audio interface, remember to adjust your PC’s playback volume from the “minimum” to the desired volume. Take care of your ears.
(4)Set OUTPUT MODE: Press the SELECT & PARAM encoders to enter GLOBAL SETTING, then short press the SELECT encoder to access OUTPUT MODE. Now, rotate the SELECT encoder to choose your desired output mode, then press SELECT encoder to save the output mode. (Here we will choose "STUDIO DIRECT".)
*The CAB block will be engaged under STUDIO DIRECT mode, others will disengage the CAB block.
* STUDIO DIRECT offers a line signal with CAB(IR). AMP FRONT offers an instrument signal without CAB(IR). AMP REAR offers a line signal without CAB(IR).
註記: CAB 模塊在『STUDIO DIRECT』模式下會被開啟,其他模式下會關閉CAB模塊。
註記: 『STUDIO DIRECT』提供 帶有箱體模擬(IR)的 LINE SIGNAL。 『AMP FRONT』提供不帶箱體模擬(IR)的 INSTRUMENT SIGNAL。 『AMP REAR』提供不帶箱體模擬(IR)的 LINE SIGNAL。
3. Start tweaking & playing: Once you boot-up the TRIDENT, it will be in PRESET MODE.
調節與彈奏: 開啟TRIDENT,默認進入『PRESET』模式。
(1)Press the UP / DOWN foot switch to choose the target preset group, in the meantime, the group digit (01~32) will flash. Then press either the A or B or C foot switches to choose the desired patch. (For example, 01-A)
(2)Under PRESET MODE, you can also rotate the SELECT knob to select a patch.
在『PRESET』模式下,你也可以通過旋轉『SELECT』編碼器來選擇預設。
(3)The TRIDENT includes 96 factory presets, and 96 user slots. Under PRESET MODE, short press the SELECT knob can call the FACTORY preset, and press the SELECT knob again to go back to the user slot. All the FACTORY presets were made by professional musicians and session players, it’s a good reference for the tone tweaking.
(7)Adjust the related knobs for the target effect block, engage / disengage the blocks for your own preset.
調節對應效果模塊的旋鈕,以及踩釘來開啟/關閉該模塊在預設中的狀態。
For deeper tone adjustments, you can press the PARAM encoder to enter EDIT MODE, in the meantime you can rotate the PARAM knob to choose a target block (which will be upper), then press the PARAM knob to enter the block. Under the related block, each page has 4 parameters, you can move to the target parameter by pressing NR / AMP / CAB / EQ buttons.
Today I will talk to you about an interesting topic, that is, can the NUX MG-30, which is the main "white box algorithm", be close to the leader of the same genre, Fractal? Next, let us conduct a series of blind tests to see if you can tell who is who? Or which one do you like?
EP1: First, let's listen to the comparison based on the Amp Model of Fender Deluxe Reverb.
This amp is the standard configuration of many Modelers and one of the classics of Clean Tone.
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
Fender Deluxe Reverb: A=MG-30 , B=FM3
EP2: 再來聽聽基於Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3這個Amp Model的對比。
這款音箱電路非常簡單,但卻非常經典,那種用力一彈可以逼出過載音色的特性,正是5E3迷人之處啊!
你喜歡A還是B呢? 你覺得哪個是FM3,哪個是MG-30?
EP2: Let's listen to the comparison based on the Amp Model of Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3.
The circuit of this amp is very simple, but it is very classic. The characteristic of the overdrive sound can be forced out with a hard strumming, which is the charm of 5E3!
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
EP3: VOX AC30, this is also the standard equipment of Modelers on the market. It is full of BOXY sound and crystal clear treble frequency like glass sound. Adding an Overdrive in front will make it sound awesome!
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
EP4: Marshall JCM800, the classic among the classics, is also the standard configuration of every Modeler. That iron distortion, the iconic British rock sound.
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
Marshall JCM800: A=MG-30 , B=FM3
EP5: Marshall 1987 X 50,這一款其實是很標準的Plexi音色,我個人很喜歡,有別於JCM800,中頻比較飽滿一點,失真程度也沒那麼烈,但用來solo很有味道。
你喜歡A還是B呢? 你覺得哪個是FM3,哪個是MG-30?
EP5: Marshall 1987 X 50, this one is actually a very standard Plexi tone. I personally like it very much. It is different from JCM800. The mid-frequency is a bit fuller and the distortion is not that strong, but it is very flavorful for solo.
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
EP6: The last one is Mesa Dual Rectifier, a classic of metal distortion, even this song is not Metal style, but we can still hear the distortion characteristics of Dual Recto. Different from the iron flavor of Marshall, Mesa's mid-low frequency has a unique flavor.
The above comparisons are not to say which is good and which is bad, but to make everyone understand that with the advancement of technology, the unit price of Multi-EFX/Modeler is no longer unattainable. As long as you tweak parameters carefully, you can also catch a good Tone.
