Hi guys, I was thinking about getting a Fender G-Dec 15 to practice with. How does this little amp handle high gain/metal tones? I've heard a lot of good stuff about this amp, but wanted to make sure.

Out of the 100 presets, it covers pretty much all I could imagine. Some of the metal tones are my faves. It will do clean just fine but in most cases it does dirty even better! I'm not into metal itself, but can appreciate a good tone which is exactly what I was after. Mine is a 30, but I demoed a 15 before taking the 30 home sight unseen. I can only see being disappointed in the 15 if you're demanding window breaking sound. Of course, the 30 won't do that either. Both are great for a personal experience.

KMatch,i have the G-DEC 15 but i never heard the G-DEC 30 except on the demo dvd,i know it is louder then the 15w but how does it sound tone wise when compared to the 15w? does the G-DEC 30 sound a little harsher because of it's tweeter,is there more low end on the 30w?

Yep, there's a bit more headroom and low end on the 30, but the tweeter is for bandtracks and isn't used for the guitar functions the way I understand it. Anywhere an 8 is good, a 10 is better, but for your personal tastes, that can only be determined in person. The 30 offers other things the 15 doesn't such as line outs and such.
