NUX NME-5 Trident Guitar Multi-Effects Processor

Price range: RM1,690.00 through RM2,890.00

  • TSAC-4K White-Box Amp Modeling, Dual DSP: The updated TSAC-4K algorithm is twice as complex as previous versions — one DSP handles all effects, the other handles amp modeling exclusively, with premium A/D & D/A converters for clean, low-noise output.
  • 27 Amp Models with Patch Cable Jumping: All 27 amps feature HIGH/LOW inputs, 4 patch cable jump inputs, and voicing toggle switches — modeled exactly like their real-world counterparts, down to the patch cables.
  • 27 Factory Cab IRs + 32 User IR Slots: 1024-sample resolution IRs with 4 microphone types and 3 positions each, plus individual high-cut, low-cut, and level controls — expandable with third-party IRs via the Trident™ Editor.
  • Stomp Box-Style Control Layout: Freely engage and disengage effects with stompbox-style footswitches and toggle switches — SELECT & PARAM encoders with LCD display show parameter details and block order at a glance.
  • 30-Second Phrase Looper (PRE or POST): Record loops before or after the amp and effects in the signal chain — PRE captures a clean signal processed live by the Trident; POST captures the fully processed tone.
  • Stage-Ready I/O + USB-C Audio Interface: 2 balanced XLR outputs, SEND/RETURN loop (serial/parallel/branch), EXP pedal input, 1/8″ MIDI In/Out, PHONES out, MASTER VOL pot, and USB-C for recording, re-amping, and patch editing via Trident™ Editor.

NUX NME-5 Trident Guitar Multi-Effects Processor (NME5 / NME 5)

A Top-notch Modeler

 

“Tones of Nostalgia and Nuance. Introducing the TRIDENT!”


 

A Top Shelf Modeler for Live.

Perfect for live applications, the TRIDENT offers plenty of I/O options. The SEND/RETURN effect loop for external effects, 2 balanced XLR outputs to the PA system, PHONES output for monitoring, EXP. PEDAL input for adding an expression pedal, MASTER VOL pot, and MIDI IN / OUT.

 


 

 

Built like a tank.

The TRIDENT uses a one-piece die-cast aluminium case; it’s solid, strong, built for live performance.

 


 

World-Class Amp Modeling.

The TRIDENT features our newly updated iconic TSAC-4K Amp Modeling (White-box Physical Modeling algorithm). The TSAC-4K Amp Modeling algorithm is twice as complex than previous versions. This led us to design a new hardware platform with 2 DSPs, one to handle all the effects and the other to handle the amp modeling algorithm. Additionally, the TRIDENT uses premium A/D & D/A converters and analog circuits to achieve a clear, low-noise sound.

 

 


 

“We Modeled Everything. Even the Patch Cables.”

This world-class amp modeling algorithm comes fully loaded with features and functionality. Just like their real counterparts, the included 27 amps feature HIGH/LOW inputs, 4 inputs for patch cable jumping, toggle switch for voicing, allowing for maximum tweaking.

 

 


 

An IR Loader for the Best Cabs.

The TRIDENT is a powerful IR loader and includes 27 Cab IRs at 1024 sample resolution. Fine-tune your Cab tone with 4 microphones (3 positions each) to adjust IR low cut / high cut/level.

And finally, expand your IR library with 3rd-party IRs and 32 additional slots. The Trident™ edit software will convert the IR format automatically on your PC or Mac.

 


 

Intuitive Control Layout.

The knob layout, toggle switches, and foot switches of the TRIDENT are akin to stomp boxes, you can engage/disengage the effects freely. The SELECT & PARAM encoders with LCD display deliver more parameter details, block order/status.

 


 

A Powerful Studio Device.

The TRIDENT is also a powerful studio device, a perfect USB-C Audio Interface for guitar. You can download Trident Editor™ from the product page to edit patches, and set up the USB routing. Record your TRIDENT tracks to your favorite DAW or use it as a re-amp device to breathe new life into your previously recorded audio tracks.

 

Caution!! In order to offer you the best dynamic range of USB Streaming, the TRIDENT doesn’t control 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.

 

 


 

Ample I/O.

Note: Do not connect an audio device here. Doing so will cause malfunctions.

 

MASTER VOL Pot: The MASTER VOL potentiometer can adjust overall output level.

Tips: Please adjust the pot from its’ minimum setting to the target volume you feel comfortable with. It’s usually loud enough when set at 12 o’clock. Protect your hearing!

 

1/4″ SEND/RETURN Jacks: Connect external pedals with the SEND/RETURN jacks.

The SEND impedance: 1KΩ.

The RETURN impedance: 100KΩ.

 

Mode: Serial, Parallel, Branch.

*Branch mode only SENDS the signal out.

 


 

A 30-Second Phrase Looper

The TRIDENT includes a 30-second phrase looper, and you can adjust the looper position as PRE or POST. In PRE, the recorded loop is clean and ready to be processed by the TRIDENT Amps and Effects. In POST, the recorded loop is processed by the TRIDENT.
