I really love it!

How has it improved your playing?[/url]

Are you trying for a Fender endorsement now? The G-Dec is a cool idea, but I wish the instrument sounds weren't so cheesy.

Huh... my guitar teacher was pimping one of these out to me a while back... but I won't be working that much this summer, so I'm probably just gonna save some money and get a 212 combo amp of some kind... this'll end up on my "eventual purchase" list, though. Has been for a while.

I used one for guitar teaching at the music store I worked at, and I found it really handy for being able to teach kids how to take scales and turn them into music. I'dset up a little loop of a basic rock drum beat and a chugging power chord, then get them to move through the major scale pattern starting from different notes, and this helps them learn what modes are, without making it boring.

I've also come up with quite a few song ideas doing the same thing.

I quit teaching a few weeks ago - I had 50 students a week, and I wanted to spend more time at home with my 10 month old baby boy - so I'm now only teaching a handful of students just for some extra $$$, and I'm really going to miss the G-Dec.

The only problem I found with it was the high amount of noise, but maybe that was just because of all the flourescent lighting in the teaching rooms.
