Product Description

The G-DEC Exec was created for guitarists looking for all the jaw-dropping features and portability of the award-winning G-DEC amplifier housed in a gorgeous three-color sunburst maple cabinet with oxblood grille cloth and a deluxe padded cover.

The Guitar Digital Entertainment Center, or G-DEC, is a one-of-a-kind practice amp that'll keep you playing for hours and hours because it's so simple and fun! The G-DEC boasts more features than most full-sized amps, in a small, portable and familiar package. Inside, you'll find a fully-functional MIDI synthesizer that is used for on-board drum loops complete with practice bass lines and even some accompaniment from other instruments -- each with their own volume control! The G-DEC gives you 17 different amp types, 29 effects, 10 reverbs and tons more parameters to design and save your own tones -- or simply spin the chrome knob and select from 50 Fender-designed presets, which include a drum loop with bass and accompaniment and an appropriate guitar tone to match.

The G-DEC has as much digital signal processing power as any of the Cyber-Series amplifiers with additional features such as a flexible 14 second phrase sampler, a full MIDI synthesizer that can be played by an outboard MIDI controller or by MIDI files streamed from your PC, and filters for focusing on different instruments in any song played by an MP3 player or CD player through the auxiliary input.

The G-DEC is an ideal amplifier system for beginning guitarists who can easily learn to play in time and have fun from day one, and is great for the experienced musician as a song writing tool or just a fun practice amp that will keep you playing longer and more frequently.

"What a amp! Awesome...."
Sound: It was great - so many sounds came from this little amp. It was unreal! Feature: Awesome features - I liked the fact that it was simple to use. The built in tuner was nice seeing as you didn't have to drag one out to tune the guitar. Just tune as you play. Ease of Use: Even I a silly blonde was working it with the first day like a pro. Quality: Fender really knows how to make a product. I have yet to have any problem what so ever with this amp. Value: I would not care its one of the best amps I have played on. I even owned a Marshall stack, the G-DEC is an all around great amp. Easy to carry around, great sound, excellent features and much more. Manufacturer Support: Again Fender is there behind you every step! I had a question so I called to get some information, the company was very helpful and kind. The Wow Factor: It looks great to show off before you even turn it on. The LCD screen graps your attention and makes you dazed. Really gives a sense of "WoW!" Overall: Im thinking of buying my nephew one of these amps, there just so great on so many levels. I will keep mine until the end - great product.
Style of Music: metal and rock

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
