Solo over backing tracks and develop your chops in any style with an array of thrilling tones at your fingertips!
Learning to play guitar can be hard, but the Fender G-DEC Guitar Digital Entertainment Center makes it easy and fun. As simple to learn as a new video game, the G-DEC has lots to offer for brand-newbies, guit-athletes, and songwriter-types alike. You can quickly plug in and solo over backing tracks and practice with a full-band arrangement to develop your chops in nearly any style.
At the heart of the G-DEC is a 15W amp and 8" speaker combo with the familiar Fender look and feel. But that's just for starters. This one-of-a-kind combo adds a digital LCD screen; lots of guitar tones; selectable drum beats, bass lines, and other instruments; reverb, echo, and other effects; a tuner; a phrase sampler with line in and slow down; an internal synth with MIDI; and a shoulder strap for easy transport. So you've got the ultimate practice partner, rhythm section, and song-inspiration platform all wrapped up in an easy-to-use combo amp.
The G-DEC is loaded with 50 Performance Presets that each include a drum loop, bass line, guitar amp tone, and effects. There are 50 user presets, tons of guitar tones, drum loops, a metronome, and backing tracks in nearly every style so you can build your own backing tracks. You can edit, move around, and store all the Performance Presets. Each preset includes a guitar tone (built from the following ingredients: Amp Type, EQ, Compressor, Timbre, Noise Gate, and Effects) and a drum/backing loop including rhythm instruments.
70 drum/backing loops and a metronome are included so with the G-DEC you've got a drummer on tap anytime you want one. There are loops for Rock, Pop, Metal, Funk, Punk, Jazz, Country, Blues, Latin - pretty much any style you would want to play guitar over.
The amp settings are: Tweed (1-3), Blackface (1-3), Dynatouch (1-4), British (1-3), Modern (1-3), and Acoustic.
There are standard tone controls such as Gain, Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, Noise Gate, and Compressor, as well as special Timbre settings like Full Body, Full Stack, Razor's Edge, Bright Lite, Bass Boost, Nu Metal, Super Brite, and Acoustic.
The effects menu includes mono delay, tape delay, stereo tape delay, ducking delay, reverse delay, autopan delay, sine chorus, triangle chorus, sine flange, triangle flange, phaser, tremolo, pitch shift, touch wah, fixed wah, Vibratone, Autoswell, Alienator, Resolver, fuzz, overdrive, and effective combinations like touch wah/fuzz, ring modulation/delay, fuzz/delay, overdrive/delay, chorus/delay, flange/delay, phaser/delay, and Alienator/delay. There also is an effects level control. Reverb selections include Ambient, Small Room, Large Room, Small Hall, Large Hall, Arena, Small Plate, Large Plate, Spring, and '63 Spring.
All of the effects available with the Fender G-DEC have parameters that can be adjusted, so there are an infinite number of possible guitar sounds.

When I first bought it I was happy. It's hard to find a group to play with so this is fun. The selector switch on mine fails to work. It's become a paper weight. Hopefully the 30 amp model has a better switch. Don't buy this model it's junk.

I have had my G-Dec about 4 months. Mine is th wood cabinet model bought when they closed them out. Other then the cabinet they are the same amp.
I have no trouble with this amp at all! The tuner in mine is great. all effects are easily adjustable. Saving my settings is easy and works every time, I don't know why you other guys have so much trouble. It might not mean anything but I studied the manuel, and used it as I learned how to use all its fetures.

An Underestimated Gem

As a new player I let my 15w G-DEC sit as an underestimated and underutilized "regular amp" for a year before I had a new teacher somewhat force me to key in and jam along to a few of the tracks I only partially liked. I did this along with using the easy to learn minor pentatonic blues scales and natural minor scales or “boxes” the teacher just taught me. All I can say is - holey freekin cow - what a difference! Even if you only partially like the backing track, you won't really notice it when your soloing is what is making the music groove …and (gasp) begin to sound good! I cannot stress enough that my ability to solo has gone from almost nothing to "through the roof" (ok, it’s thru the roof to me, but when you start to hum your own music in the shower, you KNOW you’re improving). To summarize, initially I simply didn't get what this thing can do. So, learn from my time wasting mistake - you must give the G-DEC back track jamming function an honest and persistent chance! This little gem is the best you can do if you can't get a band together for regular jamming and regular jamming is the biggest factor in improving as a guitarist.

This is amp perfect for begginers. Here me out guys this is also good for professionals like me I was looking for somthing that could have backing tracks. I chose this and man was I blown away. Me and my friend sit around the house and play country music and blues. This thing is amazing. The quality and sound are amazing. The presets don't sound cheap like on a Marshall. It has everything from playing Zakk Wylde to Hendrix to BB King. This is one hell of an amp.
