I just received my G-DEC today and I was pretty excited to try it out. After downloading software and trying out of few presets I noticed a lot of static on some of the presets, especially preset 00 (J5 Tele Dirty) and 01 (Juicy Lead), just to name a couple. My amp volume is set at 4 to 5 and my guitar (Strat) volume is set at about a 3 or 4. Is this normal? or is my amp defective? Just looking for some input, thanks.

Hi and welcome.....
Like you, I found that some of the presets on the GDec were not to my liking initially, so I modified them. The problem is more noticeable with single coil p/u's of course. Often the amp gain was way too high for my guitars...or the noise gate either turned off or too low. A bit of tweaking (actually a lot sometimes...just can't stop altering those presets 8) ) and everything fell into place.
cheers,
Alex

Updating the G-DEC 3 Firmware to v1.04 seemed to help me with this issue. I hope that helps you as well.

Hi jrmille,

I wanted to see if you were still experiencing some noise issues with your amp? Please let me know when you get a chance. Also please give as much detail as possible about how your listening (headphones, speaker, line outs), your guitar, any external effects being used, etc. Thanks.
