From what I can read between the lines Fender may have stopped producing the GDEC due to reliability issues.


Mine stopped working properly after 18 months and in Europe we don't get the 5 year warranty on the amp.

What I found great about the GDEC was the SD card slot. Rather than having to plug in an MP3 player I could have 8GB of music perfectly ready to go in the amp.
I never used the software, being a Linux user and I also found changing the sounds pretty fiddly and always wished for a simple Fender valve amp with an SD card slot. In fact something like that new Ramparte with a channel switch and an SD card. Now that would be perfect.

Cheers

Dan

PS I can still make my GDEC work sporadically by turning the jog wheel like a maniac during the "boot" phase of the amp.

Dear danf,

Thanks for your inquiry. Although Fender® has discontinued the G-DEC 3® You can still occasionally find them available on e-bay and at certain music chains that may still have some in their inventory.

If you're still having issues with your Amp I would recommend a restore. Please find enclosed a link that details the steps involved. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can assist you further.
