Is there any reason NOT to use a B-DEC for someone moving from acoustic to electric (and from beginner to "intermediate" skill level)??

OR, asked another way - does the G-DEC have any features/sounds that the B-DEC does NOT???

I'm just getting started in the "amplified" world so I'm eager to hear from those who know.

Thanks

Hi Flyingmoose, welcome to the forum! 8)
If you're looking to play electric guitar, the G-DEC is what you should consider. It's geared towards a guitar's sonic range. I have both a G-DEC 30 and a B-DEC. I programmed a few simple guitar settings into the B-DEC, for an occasion where I wanted to bring both my bass and guitar to a jam, but didn't want to bring two amps. While many of the basic functions are similar, the fx choices are more limited on the B-DEC, and the backing tracks are different as well.

I know that some classic guitar sounds have come from "bass" amps (e.g. BassMan) but that was back in the day...

More sounds/etc. on the G-DEC sounds like a good thing, and its hard to decipher how much "more" you get from the online specs sometimes.

Thanks StratCat
