Description
The Radial Trimode isn’t a stompbox pretending to sound like an amp—it’s got a real 12AX7 tube inside doing the work, giving you that dual-stage warmth and even-order harmonic saturation that solid-state clipping just can’t fake. Instead of stacking overdrives and tap-dancing between them mid-song, Trimode puts three distinct amp characters under one footswitch bank, letting you move from glassy clean to snarling rhythm crunch to sustained lead tone without breaking stride.
- True Bypass Clean Mode: your guitar signal passes straight through, untouched, for the honest tone of your instrument into your amp.
- Rhythm Mode: independent input drive and output gain paired with Radial’s Interstage drive control, so you can dial the exact flavor of grit—from a whisper of early rock breakup to something considerably heavier.
- Solo Mode: its own drive and gain staging plus a dedicated mid boost pushes the signal forward for leads that cut through a band mix and hang on for days of sustain.
Where Trimode earns its place on a serious pedalboard is the effects loop wired into the solo channel—one footswitch action and your delay or downstream pedal chain engages automatically alongside the lead tone, no separate routing pedal required. It’s built on the same foundation as Radial’s award-winning Tonebone Classic, but pushes further into amp-like dynamic response: pick harder, it pushes back harder, just like a cranked tube head.
For players who want amp-channel switching in pedal form—without hauling a second head—Trimode covers five generations of gain, from vintage breakup to modern high-gain territory, in one box.
