Hey gang,

I just upgraded from GDec 15 to GDec 3 15. On my old GDec, when you pushed record (to record a phrase), you could have a 4 count metronome countdown prior to playing the phrase. This was a nice feature in that it gave me time to prepare to play and worked well to make loops seamless.

I don't see anything about this in the GDec 3 15 Advanced Owners Manual. Is this feature available? If not, can you set it up in a future firmware update?

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Unfortunately there is no metronome countdown prior to playing a phrase and this matter has been discussed in earlier posts...many of us would like Fender to update the amp sofware to be able to do this but nothing about this at this time!
New products often miss what the prior had like this metronome countdown and an external speaker connection like the not so old G-Dec 30 had.
:(

Thanks for your reply, Runduke. I hope Fender will listen (seems like some of their staff monitor these boards) and will address this.

The metronome seemed like a pretty basic feature, huh? What am I supposed to do to start the phrase right at the beginning? Evidently I'm not the only one who misses this.

Thanks again, --The Funky Monkey

...but I'm not so sure about any next update... the 1.04 has been there since a long time but I hope I'm wrong. :cry:

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately there are no plans to add the metronome to a firmware update.
