Play Mode; P And U Bank Presets; S Bank Presets - Fender G-DEC 30 Owner's Manual

Play Mode

Play Mode is the default Mode, active when you turn the
G–DEC 30 on and also after 60 seconds of inactivity in other
Modes. Press EXIT to return to Play Mode from other Modes.
Turn the Data Wheel to select presets in Play Mode. There are
3 banks of presets, P (permanent), U (user) and S (song)—each
bank is indicated by the first character (P, U or S ) in the upper
left corner of the display.
P and U bank presets (see illustration below) both include
everything in your "band:" your guitar amp and effects, bass
player, drummer and occasionally an accompannist.
S bank (see bottom illustration) includes MIDI songs (up to
62 songs, depending on file size) and stores the songs in the
order of performance. Press START-STOP for song playback.
To change the order of your songs, press SONG and turn the
Data Wheel to reorder (see page 8).

Each S bank preset displays a song number and name on the
top line. The next line shows the current guitar preset (which
always starts as QA1 in the box below). The QA box shows
three (quick access) guitar presets. These QA presets are your
personal favorites that you want to use with that particular
song. Activate any QA preset using the buttons below the
quick access labels, QA1, QA2, QA3 at the bottom of the
display (or the corresponding footswitch button). Change the
QA order by pressing the button below SET QA, then turn the
Data Wheel to reorder.
You can play guitar, select presets and play the Drum Loop or
the Phrase Sampler in Play Mode. To modify components of a
preset (Amp Type, Effects, Bass line, etc.) use the Mode menus
(see next page, Menu Navigation).
("1" appears each time the Drum
Loop reaches the first measure.)
