Tech at a glance →
Dual DSP processors
One dedicated to amp modeling and the other to effects, the Trident delivers ultra-low latency (~1ms) so your playing feels instant and natural — no lag, no compromise.
Ultra-low 1ms latency
Responds instantly to every note and nuance, giving you the natural, real-time feel of playing through a traditional amp — whether you’re performing live or recording in the studio.
Premium A/D & D/A converter
Preserves every nuance of your playing, delivering clean, realistic tone with studio-quality clarity.
Amps. Cabs. Even the Patch Cables.
The Trident doesn’t just model amps — it brings your guitar tone to life with realistic cabinet simulation. With high-quality built-in IRs (Impulse Responses) and multiple mic positions, you can shape the way your amp “speaks” in any room, on stage, or in the studio.
Yes, we modeled everything, even the patch cables.
27 High-Quality Built-In IRS
Different cabinet types, mic positions, tonal colors, etc. sampled at 1024 sample resolution.
Virtual Patch Cable Jumping
Simulate classic high/low-jack jumpers and experiment with wiring configurations that shape your gain, headroom, and tone.
Customizable EQ per IR
Adjust low-cut, high-cut, and level controls to perfectly fit your mix or live rig.
Multiple mic positions
4 microphones × 3 positions each give you full control over tone, depth, and presence.
Expandable IR library
Upload up to 32 of your own third-party IRs, giving you near-limitless tonal possibilities.
Intuitive Controls w/ Pedalboard Familiarity
The Trident's control layout mirrors the familiarity of a traditional pedalboard, making it approachable for guitarists of any level.
Knob layout mimics stompboxes
Quickly adjust effect parameters without digging through screens, so you can tweak your tone on the fly.
Foot-switches for effects and patch changes
Switch between sounds, engage effects, and navigate presets seamlessly while performing — no hands required.
Select & Param encoders with LCD display
See every block’s status, order, and parameter details at a glance. Fine-tune your sound with precision, knowing exactly what’s active in your signal chain.
Visual feedback for confidence
The layout gives you real-time feedback, letting you make adjustments confidently in both live and studio settings.
Extensive Hardware Connectivity
The NUX Trident s built to fit effortlessly into any setup — from home studios to professional live rigs. Every connection has been designed to give you maximum flexibility, minimal noise, and total control over your signal.
I/O Practical Applications
Direct Recording into a DAW
Works as a full-featured audio interface, letting you record directly into your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) without the need for additional gear.
You can plug the Trident straight into your computer via USB-C and record directly into recording software like Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton, or Reaper — no extra audio interface or DI box needed.
Plug Straight Into the PA (No Amp Needed)
Connect the Trident directly to a PA system or front-of-house mixer using the balanced XLR outputs.
- No need to mic up a real amp — just plug in and play.
- You get consistent tone night after night, no matter the venue.
- Gives a clean, reliable signal to work with.
Integrating Your Favorite Analog Pedals
You can patch your favorite overdrives, delays, or modulation pedals into the Trident’s effects loop.
- Keeps your favorite analog gear in your signal chain.
- Lets you blend the warmth of analog pedals with the precision of digital modeling.
- Preserves tone quality by placing pedals in the right part of the chain — e.g., delays and reverbs after the amp model, where they sound most natural.
Accurate Tone Monitoring While Recording
Use the headphone out to monitor your sound when recording directly into a DAW or audio interface.
- Hear exactly what’s being recorded in real time.
- Catch mistakes, clipping, or tone issues before they happen.
- Ensures consistent results between practice, recording, and live setups.
Real Time Control with an Expression Pedal
Plug in an expression pedal to control volume, wah, or effect parameters in real time — giving you hands-free, expressive control for live performance and creative playing.
Integration into Advanced Stage Setups
With MIDI In/Out, the Trident integrates seamlessly into your rig — switch presets remotely, sync effects to tempo, and connect with other MIDI gear for total control on stage or in the studio.
Connect the Trident to a full MIDI rig — synths, drum machines, or other MIDI-enabled pedals — for coordinated control of multiple devices.
- Makes the Trident part of a larger, fully automated rig.
- Reduces manual adjustments and keeps your setup clean and organized.
- Great for touring musicians, multi-instrument setups, or experimental live performances.
