Is it more useful than a cute toy? http://www.fender.com/products/gdec/home.php Juha Fingersmcoy Username: Fingersmcoy Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, January 26, 2007 - 8:00 pm:    I have a Tascam CD-GT-1 portable CD Guitar Trainer.Im guessing the Fender unit is pretty much the same idea.There is a lot of computer software that will do the same thing the G-DEC will do.I wondering what the advantage(s) of the fender unit is, compared to the computer software??Price will be a deciding factor i guess??? Seems like a nice toy for learning though !

Roland Cube60 costs appr. as much. Computer programs for working on and transferring MIDI-files from and to G-DEC seem to be available at http://www.fender.com/support/downloads/ As you can see I am interested in this toy Juha Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 3:57 pm:    We sold a bunch of 'em when they came out. I think it's the best practice tool available. Especially for beginners 'cause the fun-factor is off the charts. Not something for live use in my book. The Bear
