I am using the ULT-4 Footswitch that was designed for use in the older G Dec amps. With the amp upgrade I believe Fender could enhance the design of the ULT-4 into a new footswitch for the G Dec 3 amp. When you insert an SD card, the footswitch only displays the Q number on the screen. The screen on the amp shows the name of the song being selected. It would be great if a large screen was placed on a footswitch that showed what was being displayed on the amp screen. It is rather hard to read and work with the amp screen while you are playing. A screen LARGE enough to be read from standing in front of a footswitch would greatly enhance the use of the amp. Fender would be able to sell and market a new product, and those of us that like to use a footswitch would benefit from the new design.

I think that's a great idea to have a larger screen. In fact, in an earlier post, I mentioned having a more advanced footswitch. I've cut and pasted my question and Fender's response. Hopefully with enough demand, Fender will oblige.

Q: Are there any plans to release a more advanced footswitch for the 3 that would have the ability to turn effects on/off, switch amp models (A/B), or include a volume/wah pedal — similar to the Line 6 foot switches? Having this type of footswitch would send it waaay over the top in my opinion.

A: The ULT-4 footswitch is compatible with the Fender G-DEC 3. Your idea for a footswitch would be pretty cool though. Unfortunately, like most other companies, we do not discuss future products.


In addition, I've been thinking there can be bank up and bank down switches, and be able to assign effects parameters to the pedal for on the fly control.

I agree with you 100% new amp, new pedal!

+1 on a more advanced pedal option with the additions mentioned above.

Please listen Fender. 8)

Since fender advertised that the ULT-4 Footswitch would be compatable with the G DEC 3, they might be reluctant to produce a new version.

Suggestion: In a firmware update add "footswitch" to the Options list in the amp, and allow users to toggle to use the ULT-4 OR the ULT-Super (what ever they want to call the new product.)
