Meet the NUX TRIDENT – A Professional Amplifier Modeler and Audio Interface in One The NUX NME-5 TRIDENT is a revolutionary device that combines the functions of a guitar effects processor, amplifier modeler, and USB audio interface. This versatile unit is designed for demanding guitarists who need professional sound both on stage and in the studio. Encased in a sturdy aluminum chassis, the TRIDENT is ready to withstand the rigors of touring, ensuring reliability in any conditions.

Innovative TSAC-4K Amp Modeling Algorithm At the heart of the NUX TRIDENT lies the advanced TSAC-4K Amp Modeling algorithm, representing the latest generation of white-box physical modeling technology. Twice the computational complexity compared to previous versions enables unprecedented realism. Two dedicated DSP processors – one handling effects, the other amp modeling – ensure smooth operation without compromising quality. Each of the 27 built-in amplifiers offers full HIGH/LOW correction, four inputs for modifying the effects chain, and a sound mode switch, exactly like their original counterparts.

Versatile Sound Capabilities TRIDENT excels as a pedal‑floor multi‑effects unit on stage. An intuitive layout of knobs, switches, and a footswitch emulates the setup of traditional stompboxes, allowing instant enablement and disabling of effects without digging through menus. SELECT and PARAM encoders, combined with a clear LCD display, provide quick access to all parameters, block order, and current device status. The SEND/RETURN effects loop lets you insert your favorite external effects into the signal chain, offering limitless sound shaping possibilities.

Precise IR Loader The built‑in IR Loader provides 27 factory‑loaded speaker cabinet IR samples, expandable with 32 additional slots for IR samples from other manufacturers. Each cabinet simulation allows selection among 4 microphone types in 3 different positions, enabling precise tuning of low and high tones and impulse volume. The Trident™ Editor software automatically converts IR formats, ensuring compatibility with third‑party libraries.

Applications Live Performance – full control of stage sound with footswitches Studio Recording – professional sound quality with a USB‑C interface DAW Integration – seamless collaboration with popular music production software Reamping – breathe new life into previously recorded guitar tracks Practice and Rehearsals – compact chassis easy to transport Detailed Technical Specifications Input impedance: 1 MΩ AUX input impedance: 10 kΩ RETURN impedance: 100 kΩ OUT 1, OUT 2, SEND impedance: 1 kΩ Headphone output impedance: 47 Ω Dynamic range: 109 dB Sampling rate: 48 kHz / 32‑bit System latency: just 1 ms Inputs/Outputs: 2× balanced XLR, SEND, RETURN, EXP PEDAL, MIDI IN/OUT Power: 9 V DC (negative terminal, ACD‑006A adapter included) Comprehensive Connectivity NUX TRIDENT offers versatile connection options: two balanced XLR outputs ideal for PA systems, a PHONES headphone output for quiet practice or monitoring, a dedicated EXP.
