The NUX Trident NME-5 is a flagship multi-effects and amp modelling pedal designed to function as a complete guitar rig for stage, studio, and direct recording applications. It combines high-end amp simulation, cabinet IR loading, and a full effects suite in a single rugged floor unit.
Built around a dual-DSP architecture and advanced TSAC-4K physical modelling engine, the Trident delivers detailed amp response with low latency and high dynamic accuracy. It is designed to replace traditional amplifier and pedalboard setups while maintaining professional-level tone flexibility.
Key Features:
Advanced Amp Modelling:
Includes 27 high-resolution amp models with switchable voicing, high/low input behaviour, and realistic gain staging characteristics.
Cabinet IR Loader:
Built-in IR system with 27 stock cabinet responses and support for up to 32 user IRs, allowing precise control over speaker and microphone simulation.
Dual-DSP Processing:
Separate processing engines for amp modelling and effects ensure stable performance and low-noise signal handling.
Comprehensive Effects Engine:
Integrated modulation, delay, reverb, and dynamics effects with flexible routing for custom signal chains.
Studio & Live Connectivity:
Balanced XLR outputs for direct FOH connection, USB-C audio interface functionality, effects loop (send/return), headphone output, and MIDI support.
Expression & Control Options:
Supports external expression pedals for real-time parameter control and dynamic performance shaping.
Rugged Construction:
Die-cast aluminium chassis designed for touring reliability and heavy stage use.
The NUX Trident is positioned as a full replacement rig for guitarists who need amp modelling, effects processing, and direct recording capability in a single unit. It is aimed at live performers and studio users who prioritise flexibility, consistency, and portability over traditional amplifier setups.
