Fender G-DEC

The Fender G-DEC (Guitar Digital Entertainment Center) is a family of "teaching" and practice amplifiers, manufactured by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, that all feature amp modelling and effects, drum/bass patterns, teaching and performance backing loops, internal synth with MIDI interface, tuner, phrase sampler. All amps are capable of reproducing convincing guitar tones from heavy metal to jazz to punk to country at the twist of a knob. The range of special effects available are wide ranging and connection to a computer via the MIDI interface is possible.

There are several different amplifiers to suit a range of budgets:
* The original G-DEC is a 15 watt device with an 8" speaker.
* The G-DEC Exec is a 15 watt amplifier with an 8" speaker but in three-color Sunburst maple cabinet, with an oxblood grille cloth and various accessories.
* G-DEC Junior is a 15 watt amplifier with an 8" speaker but sporting a simplified, stripped down control interface.
* G-DEC 30 is an uprated version of the G-DEC with more power, bigger 10" speaker, more effects, more memory for MIDI data.

There is also an amplifier for bass players called B-DEC 30 (Bass Digital Entertainment Center). This has similar features to the G-DEC 30 but tailored for the lower bass guitar frequencies. It has a 10" speaker and a piezo horn tweeter. Also it differs from the other amplifiers as it is angled like a wedge/foldback speaker.
