Billy Hell pits a real 1969 Twin Reverb against a new Fender GDEC 3 30. I have yet to see anyone put this modeling amp up against the real thing. I'm running my GDEC through 2 powered PA speakers. Brina B. owns the Twin and I knew it would be a tough job winning him over BUT....watch the video to see how the GDEC 3 modeling amp did. Also featured is my Japanese 60's Reissue Telecaster with Bigsby.

  • Yes, I also I suspect that Billy Hell IS Gearmandude. The unmistakable voice and the "White coily cord"! The mask is off and the secret identity is revealed...me thinks so, maybe, maybe not!?!??? Is it live or is it Memorex? Is it a real Tubey Twin or a Digie G-DEC? Only the shadow knows....

  • @mblue502003 if I was @Gearmandude how could I also be Jack Black? The mind wobbles!

  • I think you are Gearmandude.

  • @monkeekup  Wish I had his followers!

  • i use a g-dec 30 into a old bassman cab >not bad not bad at tall

  • @LordSauceness That is a GREAT idea. Going down to GC soon (which I hate...just sayin') and try that out for myself. I wouldn't be all that surprised if the modeling software is from IK Multimedia. I use that in my DAW and love it. My Super Champ is VERY well represented in that program. It blew my mind. Wouldn't need to fire up 'puter for all those amps :):):)

  • Sounds closer to Tom Hanks than Jack Black, 'tisn't Gearmandude. :P

  • Knowing what yer playing thru has a big impact on what you think you hear. The only real way is to do a blindfold test and let someone else plug you in without telling you which amp yer in. That would be far more scientific. :)

  • YOu need to consider the different speakers builds will have impact on the tone color.

    Regardless ... the vid certainly proves a point ...

    I may need to grab one of these G-Dec 30's and compare to my 70's baseman.

  • Very cool review!! You may have just sold me on getting one!! If theres gonna be a difference...?...besides the GDec goijng thru the P.A. , think about the 10" vs. 12" of each amp as well. But still a very impressive demo/review !

  • I think the G-DEC sounds more like a Fender Twin.
