I've been playing guitar for about 9 months now. My first amp purchase was a Mustang III (I know, way too much amp for a newbie, but I figured it would be something I wouldn't need to upgrade later). During a recent visit, a friend brought along his old G-Dec 30. It's versatility from a practice/learning tool standpoint blew me away. Now I see the prices are dropping and I want to jump in.

I want this for an at-home practice amp, and I'll be keeping the Mustang III. Is there any reason to get the 30W over the 15W other than volume? I like the idea of portability, to take it to friends' houses, roadtrips, etc.

Any insight from current owners appreciated.

Get the 30...10" speaker ver 8" and tweeter. Also has line outs you can send directly to a PA or powered speaker,

I agree with the 30. I had the 15 and exchanged mine because the tone is better in the 30 with the 10" speaker and the tweeter. I think that since you own the Mustang III, (with I think the 12 inch speaker?), you'd prefer the 30.

The thirty feels much heavier, as is to be expected, but that isn't always a bad thing, I knocked over my fifteen once, because its so narrow. I don't think the thirty will do that.

I play at bedroom levels mostly, and it sounds just fine, but when I do get to open it up, its awesome.

30, 30, 30. I have a Mustang IV as well, and they're both the right amp for the different situations. But with you having a Mustang III, your ears will like the 10" in the Thirty better than the 8" in the Fifteen. It's only money and your ears will thank you.
