I'm planning on loading a series of my own band tracks into my GDEC3.
Can I program sound changes to occur during a track so that I can play the song and have the amp switch beytween lead and rythmn presets?

I don't think that's possible. With the ULT-4 Footswitch, I can change between the three quick access presets you can program but that's the only way I know of to do it.

GDEC3 is a great little amp with many limitations. I can't wait for GDEC4!!!

Hey Guys,

Bob, you are correct. It is possible to organize a list of presets that all use the same Band Track but when you switch to the next preset the Band Track will start over. I'll pass this along to the engineers to determine the possibility of a feature such as this one appearing in a future update.

It would be nice to take a preset with a backing track assigned to it and after starting the backing track from preset mode, still be able to access the 3 QA preset settings. As it stands now, I think if you start a backing track from preset mode and do a QA Preset change it stops the backing track. If I start the backing track from Quick Access mode then you can switch between the 3 QA Preset selections.

That could be helpful. I'll pass that one along as well.

While I enjoyed the other ideas in the follow-up replies... Maybe I misread the question and the thread in general.. I was thinking svaughan was asking if there was a way when playing a song to make the settings change programatically. The nearest way to accomplish what svaughan1 is asking to is use Quick Access and set QA1 -QA3. This will allow quick sound changes during playback without restarting the backing tracks... The changes will just need to be manual (such as using the foot pedal).

Am I totally misreading the question?

Thanks,
Randy

Fully agree with bobrowden's idea here.. It would be a great enhancement...

I just posted a new topic similar to yours. I have this same need for the amp. If they could just provide an option per preset, that the backing track, if playing, continues playing till it either ends (if not looping) or when stop is hit. That way, you could switch to another preset for a different tone, and the backing track would keep going. It's a pretty DUH request I think.

An even cooler option, would be to allow automation of the preset in Fuse. So you could tweak settings while the backing track was playing, and it would record those onto a hidden automation track that's part of the preset. So your tone did exactly what you wanted when you wanted it to during the track, and you wouldn't have to change to another preset.

This is a great amp, with tons of editing capability. First of its kind in many ways. I can't believe they'd miss this little detail.

It would be nice if you could have your preset with it's assigned band track, and in addition to that, within the preset you could have 3 unique presets assigned to the QA1, QA2 & QA3 settings. Giving you a total of 4 sounds you could use during the song.

So then you could dial up your preset with it's default guitar sound, start the band track, and then change footswitch modes and be able to access another 3 presets without stopping the default backing track using the QA assignments from the footswitch.

Also being able to assign automated preset (guitar sound) changes that could occur during the band track as the original poster asked would be cool. Then I could be even lazier as the amp would make the changes for me. LOL ;)

Take care,

@Bobrowden - I like your suggestion for quick access tones per preset. That would be powerful! :x

Maybe Fender should headhunt an engineer from Digitech. He/she would have these things sorted and a firmware upgrade available within a week.
