So you want 100 amps at your disposal but your recording studio is a bedroom? No problem! Well no quite, but Fender built the G-Dec 30 with you in mind. The spent a ton of time in research and development before releasing the amp to the public this year. There goal was to give you 100 amp sounds that you actually love and want to use. We've all tried out that other digital amp where out of 42 presets maybe 3 of them are cool.

I saw this at a trade show. I had a few hours later to check one out. New the sticker price is $399.99.

The software used to connect the amp and your computer to create and edit loops and patches really is the easiest I've seen. In a few minutes I was tweaking knobs and building a playlist of sounds.

There are no outstanding negative features. I didn't fall in love with the sounds as I would if I had a Fender Twin Reverb and a few effects pedals, but this amp holds its own well.

It is the same Fender look you are used to just a little more hi tech. Apparently there are a few limited edition colors and this amp comes in, but mine was classic black and silver.

I was a little nervous by the lack of knobs as they were replaced by the LED screen. My only concern is if the screen goes down so does your amp.

Fender packed plenty of amp sounds into one box. It's up to you to put it all together.
