I should have mentioned this before but musicians friend and some other music outlets are selling the G-DEC 3 15w for 99.99 and the 30w for 199.99! This is a fantastic price in my opinion,i know only a few years ago these G-DEC's were 299.99 for the 15w and 399.99 for the 30w.

I bought my G-DEC 3 15w because of the price reduction,otherwise i would not buy one for the higher price. I think fender is discontinuing the G-DEC 3 but i am not sure if they are coming out with a newer model?

I just picked the G-Dec 3 Thirty model up at GC this week for $170. They priced matched Amazon which at that time was $169. Amazon now has them for $177.

Great amp for that kind of money. I'm really enjoying it.

Yep, the price drop doubled up on my "this sucks" list. My amp has bugs (Unless autoformatting would be considered a feature?), I bought my 30 a week before the price drop, and it appears I'm stuck with wondering "what's next" on the software glitch list. And I had to beat my dealer over the head to get them to drop the price from $399 to $335 just so *I* could feel good for dealing local rather than saving the $36 and ordering online and likely getting a bug free model. That's a slap in the face I paid an EXTRA $136.00 to get!

The dealer you bought your 30w from should have lowered it to 199.99 that is the current price on the G-DEC 3 30w,you still got ripped off!

I would demand another 135.00 back from this dealer,it is the right thing for them to do.

1, I bought it a week before the price drop. Keep reading...

2, their signs read "No cash refunds, store credit only". Yep, keep reading...

3, They had a Ventura amplified acoustic guitar with a blem the size of my hand on its front that looked like a dog peed on it before the clearcoat was added. Should have never left the factory. Would they drop the price? Not a chance! They ordered me a different one with a perfect finish. Dog Pee is still on the shelf with the other 3 guitars this well known establishment keeps on hand. LOTS of empty hangers!

4, I beat them up to order 3 HL books with SD cards plus a foot pedal offering to pay in advance for reasons below. I'm STILL waiting for them to contact me on those items while in the meantime I've gotten the 3 HL books plus a foot pedal from Amazon saving around $50. I'm done with these fools, and it's a shame, as the guy I bought the amp from is an old friend. The store owner is broke and can't order anything due to a lack of funds although they have $1000 of mine to work with. Manufactures are cutting them off for lack of payment so swapping out my amp is out. It's the last they'll be getting from me, though. I was ALL for buying local and paying the difference to support them. That's shot to hell now and I have a flawed amp to show for it!

Fender should still take care of you. The amp has a 5-year warranty. Contact Alan, Loren or Brad. Click on their names above to contact them, or call on the phone number provided under their signatures.

Did that, sent a ton of info they asked for including a shipping address leading me to believe I might be getting a replacement then after another couple of contacts they believe all is fine with a "thank you, come again" type response which I inquired about with no response. I won't hold my breath as with ANY electronics, you can't fix it if it ain't broke (while testing it). This one needs to be in their hands to diagnose it - not through email or over the phone.

Sorry your experience with them didn't match mine. Loren was able to help with the three issues I had, though they were due to poor documentation.

Alan and Loren have picked up on my bitching and have taken an interest in making it right. My problem at the moment is being overbooked with work and finding time to phone them back or catch their calls... phone tag... But, they're trying!

Sweetwater stands behind their sales and should provide excellent support if you need it.

I have a friend that works at a music store. Apparently Fender is trying to get rid of this things. I would if they are just dump the G-DEC line and stick with the Mustang?
