I was surprised to find that the small usb connector was chosen for the g-dec. While very fitting for compact cameras, it looks unproportional on a 100 times bigger amp. This connector is very fragile and doesnt take much beating if you inadvertantly happen to trip over the usb-cable when walking around. The bigger "square" usb connector, typically used with keyboards and other comparably large devices, I think would have been a better and more rugged choice. The same goes for the 1/8 inch headphone connector, which is also a very fragile design, more suited for mp3-players and Iphones than guitar amps, compared to the traditional 1/4 inch connector. One single trip on the cable and the connector is likely smashed. Or worse, the female part belonging to the amp, is broken, and the amp has to be shipped somewhere to be repaired.
