The Fender G-DEC 30 is an updated version of the top-selling, award-winning G-DEC that gives guitarists even more of what they loved about the original with upgrades based on customer feedback from around the world. As with its predecessor, the G-DEC 30 is a guitar amplifier with digital amp modeling, effects, backing loops, phrase sampler, and tuner, all in one great-sounding package. A total of 76 Performance Preset (38 performance and 38 teacher) includes all of the originals plus numerous additional loops. Each Performance Preset includes drum beats, bass lines, and other instruments that provide a musical backing track that is fully customizable. The added Composition Mode also allows individual measures to be combined by the user into whole songs.

The professional-quality suite of amps, effects, and backing loops in the G-DEC 30 can be sent out to external cabinets or PA systems through rear-panel speaker and line outputs. CD or MP3 devices can also be easily hooked up for play-along practice. The internal 28-second Phrase Sampler can sample the incoming guitar signal to create loops, or song snippets may be captured for careful study. The Phrase Sampler can also create sound on sound overdubs for spontaneous musical creations.

Additional features include on-board MIDI song file memory; an optional 4-button footswitch that can access program selection and stop-start functions; and the ability for future software upgrades from Fender to easily be loaded via MIDI.

killer amp

this amp has plenty of sound for a 30 watt 20 pound amp. I would like to see them come out with a true stereo (dual amp and dual speaker) amp. Great sounds built into amp. You can even change the tempo & key. I use it at Church and run from line out to line in to p.a. system to get a broader sound. It also has a build in tuner. I recommend that you get the foot-pedal.

Fender needs to take a heart felt listen to this amp. It's noisy as hell. The backtracks are midi sounding files which for the most part will work for a 40+ player doing birthday parties. Don't get me wrong this is a good, fun practice amp. The issue is why can't a company with that much experience address the basics!

A budget-minded home studio masterpiece!
Posted by CAofIL from Canton, IL on Jul 12, 2009

Reviewer's Background: Composer, Vocalist, Songwriter, Indie
Reviewer's Play Style: Mostly Rock/Lighter Metal, Some Pop & Country
This is truly a masterpiece for Fender. No where else can you get this much potential for so little money. I am a songwriter, composer, vocalist, and music lover in general--and I needed a starting point for my musical creation/home studio processes. This turned out to be a major piece in the puzzle, and I don't know what I would do without it. So many possible sounds, so many ways to make it put out, so many everything! I use it with a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser to get just about any sound I want. Hard Rock, Metal, Lighter Rock/pop stuff, Country sounds--everything you can imagine, can be played on some kind of variant through the presets or you can program your own....The output level feature lets you custom drive the signal into whatever you choose--in my case, directly into my computers' 1/8" input line...Heck, I even drive my Shure SM58 mic through a voice channel I've programmed myself to deliver awesome rock/metal vocals into my music projects....This thing is AWESOME, and if I ever make it big--this thing will be one of the sole reasons! If you want an amp that can do it all and then some, get one....

Must have amp!

This amp is an excellent value especially if it is used in conjuction with Soundtrek's Jammer soft ware for writing background tracks. The GDec 30 allows the midi files to be downloaded thru an interface. The result....after years of playing in bands I'm now working as a soloist and having more fun than ever!

The Most Versatile amp EVER!!!!!!!!

The Fender G-Dec 30 is a very awesome amp and has alot of features. I really love the Tap wah effect set on voice level High, but the only reason I give it 4 1/2 stars is because of the reverb I thought it could've been a little more intense. But eventhough this amp is all you need to destroy the stage!!!!!!!!!
