I'm about to install the Fuse software on a laptop for my new GDEC 3 Thirty from the DVD In the box. The manual says to install the software from the disc then check for any updates on the Fender site. Then install that newer version to update the old.

The disc software version is 1.x. I can see on the Fender update page that the software is up to a 2.x iteration. Can I just do a clean install of the newest version and not install it on top of an old version?

Has anyone done this?

Yes, in fact you'll probably be better off. Sometimes things don't get overwritten or deleted as they should during an update, so my advice is to NOT install software from the DVD, and do a brand new install that you can download from this forum. (Currently at version 2.6.1.35)

That's what I thought. Similar to any software product, it seems. Why layer the latest/greatest over the old one. Just seems to invite problems if you can do a clean install right out of the gate.

Thanks for the reply...

Hi B Scribe,

You have in hand one of our original DVDs. That version of the disc had the installer on the actual disc. In any case, you will want to install the most current version of the Fender FUSE software from our web site. You can find that here: https://fuse.fender.com on the left hand side bar. Please let us know if we can assist further. Thanks.
