Hi,

just wanted to order the new g-dec 3 fifteen but read in the newly released manual beforehand and noticed, that there is no function for pause, rewind or forwarding in a Band Track?!

Is it possible to add such a feature with a firmware update to a softkey in the future?

Sure, you can select parts with the Phrase Sampler but I think those standard functions should be a integral part for a practicing Tool. At the moment, this is a real drawback for me.

Or am I overlooking something?

Hey there,

It almost sounds like you would like extended transport controls as a tool to help learn a song. While this isn't exactly the purpose of Band Tracks, I could see how it could be helpful. I'll pass this along to the engineers and see what they think about it.

thanks for investigating. I'll try to be patient.

Yep, i want to reduce the need for any additional devices like mp3 or CD player, drum computer, metronome etc.
As a grab and go learning tool I even want to avoid using a computer if not recording.
Just the amp and the guitar, that would be great. The new g-dec seems to be almost there.
Although, the Tascam GT-R1 could be an flexible option if an amp is already in the house...

Would be great to hear from you again on this subject.

Hi,

I'm new to the forums, and just got a G-DEC 3 Thirty. I would also like to see this functionality added to the G-DEC 3. It would be great to be able to set loop points within a Band track.

It's a great amp and I'm looking foward to learning what all that it can do!

Joe

It is a drag to keep restarting the song.

Loren,

I had put this suggestion into one of my posts as well (the title was GDEC suggestions). I also agree with another persons thought to have the amp come on at the last preset selected (vs. always going to zero). My third item was to create an amp type of "no amp" to allow dry guitar recording through the usb in order to make use of the amplitube software.

I am also a firmware developer myself, so I understand that your developers are not going to be thrilled with every idea that comes from the forum, nor are they going to have time for lots of feature-itis :-)

You guys have come up with a great combination of features. A couple more little things and you'll have a home run.

thanks,
Dave

"No amp" is not only a good suggestion, it's actually necessary to avoid double-modeling in Amplitube.

You don't need to keep restarting a band track if LOOP is on.

Since you're not learning a specific part within a backing track, unlike what is commonly the case with an MP3, you're just grooving along with a relatively short song loop, it's kind of hard to make a case to Fender why anybody would want to have sub-loops and transport controls inside the existing loops which are the backing tracks.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I just want to mention that selecting New (for New Preset) in Fender FUSE will create a dry preset with no effects and neutral Low, Mid, and Treble settings.

Also, all of your suggestions are considered by our developers and engineers so keep them coming. We are even trying to fit some of them into the next firmware version which should be available soon.

Thanks,
Loren

Thanks for the info on creating the dry preset. My plan is to name that one "empty" so I can use it to fill in the slots that contain presets that I'll never use. Then I'll be able to spot where the free slots are for new ones.

Thanks also for the consideration of the suggestions. It is good to hear that there is interest in further enhancements.

In addition to "no preset" having no EFX, does it also have no modeling operative? From reading the FAQ, I guess the no preset goes to the BF Clean/no EFX/no gain/no timbre as its default so that would still be a modeling preset.

Given the fact that the G-DEC 3 is a modeling amplifier there really is no way to bypass the modeling.
