Hello everyone. I have a problem that will likely have a very easy solution and it's probably just something that I'm overlooking. Keep in mind that I'm bran new to the guitar world and I'm JUST now starting out so excuse my ignorance.

The other day I just bought my first guitar (MIM Fender Strat) and the G-DEC 3 amplifier. I just got around to setting everything up today and already I have a problem. No matter what settings I have on the amp, all I get is the same mellow accoustic sound. No matter where I have the treble, middle, base, gain, reverb, etc., I get exactly the same sound. I even tried going through the presets and still, nothing changes. Obviously I didn't buy an electric guitar to get an acoustic sound. Me being the noob that I am, I've gotta be overlooking something...

Fender has a great 5 year warranty. The best in the musc buisness, they replaced my amp with no problems.

If you're changing the preset by turning the rotary knob and it's showing different settings, and you don't hear anything but acoustic tones, there's something wrong with the amp. Return it for a free replacement! The first preset (00) on my G-DEC 3 was a John 5 preset that has a LOT of distortion and is very noisy even when NOT playing.

When you turn up the volume (far right knob) on the amp do you get a louder accoustic sound or is it unchanged?

What happens when you turn up the volume on your guitar, does the mellow accoustic sound distort at all?

Have you tried your guitar cable in the second input on the back as well?
