G–DEC® 30 Guitar Digital Entertainment Center is an
upgraded version of the award-winning, mega-popular
original G–DEC®. Like the original, it includes everybody
in the band but you! Inside G–DEC 30 you will find
a versatile drummer, skilled bass player and flexible
accompanist for virtually any style of music. And for
you, the guitarist: G–DEC 30 is a warehouse of amplifiers
and effects, and what’s better—these are ready for your
sound check!
Turn the G–DEC 30 Data Wheel to access a diverse
collection of band setups. 50 permanent Presets furnish
a diverse collection always available to you. Another 50
rewritable Presets store the bands that you create for
your music and playing style.
G–DEC 30 is the ultimate practice tool whether you are
just starting out or playing professionally. As a beginner,
you can have an instructor plug into the rear input. To
learn a new song you can plug your CD or MP3 player
into the G–DEC 30 and play along. For difficult licks you
can record a phrase and play it in a continuous loop—at
half speed if necessary! Seasoned players enjoy G–DEC 30
as a songwriting partner or jamming buddy.
G–DEC 30 also has MIDI ports which allow you to link up
with other G–DEC 30 players to trade Presets. Connect
G–DEC 30 to your computer* to backup Presets, play
General MIDI files, or store MIDI songs in the G–DEC 30!
It’s time to jam—with G–DEC 30—your new band...
* MIDI capable sound card (or MIDI-to-USB device) and MIDI
software required.
