My GDEC's presets have all gone back to factory installed and I'm bummed. I've had my GDEC 3 years and have all my custom beats and sounds stored there and now their gone. Anybody have a way to get them back?

I've tried spinning the selector knob but that doesn't work. This really sucks because i had over 30 custom set ups. Any help is appreciated.

needzcomp,
Bummer, does anything happen when you spin the selector knob? Are the factory pre set and programable settings what you have currently?

I learned the hard way that you need to BACK UP everything that you like on your G-DEC and keep it archived on your computer. I had just learned how to make and modify MIDI tracks with Jammer and had about 40 songs on my first G-DEC only to have the LED go black one day and that was that! I took the amp back to Guitar Center and they called Fender and Fender said, give that boy a new G-DEC! I said, what about all my stuff that I spent 40 hours putting on there? They said, sorry, too bad, should have backed it up.

When I went back to my computer and tried to find the stuff I had loaded, I couldn't find squat - lesson learned. Today I back up all SYSEX files on a regular basis, especially the ones I created. I also have multiple backups of the 200+ MIDI backing tracks that I use for live performance.

You'll have to start over. Good luck. And back up!

Thanks. I know you replied a while ago...Good idea with backing everything up. Sorry to hear you're out the stuff you had worked for. I know the feeling! I had almost every channel tweaked to my liking and like a mad scientist wrote nothing down and saved nothing. So I got bummed when I had to start over and just stopped using my amp period for a month or so. Thanks for all the advice.
