I just picked up an almost new G-DEC30 for what I think is a nice price. Been reading about the amp and thought it would help me with my guitar playing. I know everybody knows what they look like, but they say, without photos, it didn't happen.

Hi Jerry and welcome!Great amp; you'll have a lot of fun with it I'm sure. I'm a big fan of this amp myself and find that I can spend the better part of a day playing away, not realizing how much time has passed; it's been a big factor in my weight loss plan In case you haven't got the manuals, they can be found here...viewtopic.php?f=25&t=44869Enjoy....Alex

Also be sure to go to Amazon.com and search for "Hal Leonard G-DEC" Hal Leonard has a series of artist specific songbooks that come with an SD card specifically for the G-DEC 3 that have both the guitar tones and very good backing tracks for each song. I have the Tom Petty book and a Hard Rock compilation book so far and am really impressed!

Congrats on your G-DEC! We here at the forums have an obligation to convince Fender that they made a mistake discontinuing the series. I want my G-DEC 4 120-watt 212 with SD and USB thumb drives, hour-long looper, built-in mixer and built-in CD burner!!!

They had a blowout on those amps when Fender discontinued them. They were selling for dirt cheap.

Now that the cheap G-DEC's are gone, the price has shot back up as there seems to be a resurgence in their popularity. They are very flexible and can be reprogrammed for rock, blues, country and metal. I'm wishing that I had grabbed one.

I often find myself just "wasting" hours experimenting with how the presets make stuff that I know how to play sound better (or worse) or just different.It's such a COOL device.A shame they decided to end the line as this is really an awesome amp (mine is only the 15 tho).

I would like to eventually explore perhaps mounting different speakers in it.Curious if I matched the impedance if I could get a nice sounding car stereo speaker in there that had the same "oomph" in amp mode but also made the mp3 backing tracks sound as good as the stereo.Or even better, punch in a slightly better amp speaker, and a full range car speaker out the side....then work some soldering magic so it would play the internal backing tracks through the regular side speaker but still route the guitar to the big amp speaker...
