Fender® recently stopped by Eric Johnson's private studio where he played some of his signature tones through the G-DEC and the G-DEC 30.

  • Tone is all in the hands. A good player can make anything sound good.

  • @jimidom If that's true then why does EJ use old Marshall's and Fenders live and in the studio?

    Tone is mostly in the hands but gear makes a difference. A guy like EJ could play a beat up Sears Strat through a Peavey Rage 158 and it would sound awesome but if he A/B that set up to his normal gear, which do you think would sound better?

    Good gear is useless without good hands but if you CAN play it only enhances your sound.

  • Saw EJ in San Diego this past weekend and he was amazing!! I'm working on editing the set to put up on YouTube, but check out my channel for Cliffs of Dover live!!

  • @dirtjumpbandit don't forget the multi-thousand dollar guitar he's playing... lol

  • go Eric ..horses for courses..g-dec looks like a good practice amp

  • good playing

  • Oh dear... this means that buying a vintage Marshall rig, an Eric Johnson siganture strat, a Tube Driver and and Echoplex WON'T make me sound like Eric Johnson???

    Life is merciless!!!!!

  • grow up jimdom your childish PM saying EJ plays better than me? no kidding lol!

  • I remembered when Lynyrd skynyrd endorsed Peavey amps. they had peavey gear everywhere. go back stage and there were stacks of marshalls mic'd up. don't be naive, Eric's making money here and he's paid his dues to be able to do that. he's got his EJ strat too.. the GDEC is a modeling amp like line 6. its a bedroom amp. Eric was playing air guitar to a recorded track, bet!

  • @bluesmann8. Nobody said to ditch your stack for a GDEC. However, I can safely say that if Eric Johnson went on stage with just a miked GDEC to cut heads with you, and you were armed with a full backline of boutique stacks, he would still decapitate you most heinously, bluesboyy.

  • @jimidom idiot, take a gdec on stage and see what you get.
