I have a Fender GDEC-3, through which I'm able to play the backing tracks downloaded on my computer (MP3) and YouTube. Can I do same with this amp?

This is a guitar amplifier, not a GDEC unit. It has one standard 1/4" guitar cable input. It does have a usb port for modifying the onboard effects. It does not have backing tracks or multiple separate channels...it's a hybrid tube/digital amplifier, not a playback system. Basically it's just a light weight guitar amp with some extra effects that emulate pedals. Helps keep the floor uncluttered, but not a packaged rehearsal system. It sounds a bit more analog than digital but it's not a true all tube Fender sound...actually a disappointing little amp sound wise. The effects emulations are sketchy and the digital amplifier portion minimizes the value of the tube circuitry. This is a guitar amplifier, not a GDEC unit.

There is no aux input in this amp. But, if I remember well, you can play stuff from the computer if you connect it to the amp using the usb cable.

No, this is a simple guitar amp. If you're looking to plug in and play along with music on your PC or smartphone, this is not the amp you want. However, if you want a great tube guitar amp for a very reasonable price, this is it!

You need a usb audio device that has a guitar jack. Tascam is one company that makes them.

No. You will need a device to receive the electric guitar signal and convert it to something your computer can use. IK stealthplug, IK stealthpedal, Focusrite Scarlett, a Rocksmith cable, whatever. Probably NOT your soundcard(electric guitars do not output a line level signal).

I have had good success doing what you are thinking of doing. No you're not going to get Marshall sound from your solid body electric ( Ibanez Les Paul copy) but run a decent effects pedal through the EFX loop (I use 2nd channel for this) on the back of the amp and you'll get a good electric sound from clean to fuzz to everything in between. I have a LR Baggs M80A magnetic pickup on my Santa Cruz OM and plug that into the first channel. I'm happy with the results.

You can, but it won't give you the best tone.http://www.musiciansfriend.com/resources/article/Can-I-Plug-My-Guitar-Into-a-Bass-Amp/m710564

Sure, you should just be able to hook your existing gear through the ZED 10 out to a set of powered speakers. I use it for backing tracks and acoustic/electric guitars and vocals and its ideal and has plenty of channel for this type of application and the effects are really good also but you might want to add a foot switch.

Absolutely, it has many, many hard core metal effects, plus with the USB connection you can go online to Fenders site and do even more...more effects and even recording options. Well worth the money.

It's a pure tube amp but it has digital effects as well. So, you can use the clean tube sound or add digital effects to the chain (e.g. reverb, delay, distortion). You can set them up with fender fuse.

Interesting question. I bought this because (1) it was the same price as a digital connector (iRig HD, etc), and (2) I couldn't find anything useful that Garageband did that this thing didn't already do as a stand-alone amp. For what it's worth, as far as outputs go there a guitar effects loop send/receive, a line (tuner) out, and a headphone jack. All but the last are mono 1/4". You would probably still need some sort of digital guitar input to get the signal into the computer.

I don't, but I would think that you could use a mixer like the one I use the Allen @ Heath ZED FX 10 & connect any guitar.They even have a newer version of my mixer designed for guitarist.I purchase all my equipment from Sweetwater & they have wonderful technical advisers. Jeanne

this is just software no hardware included!!!you will need to purchase a guitar interface to plug your guitar into and connect to usb port on your computer.....good luck ps. amazon should have a good selection of these in the $20 range that will work....cheers

I don't think so. Try to get the GT100 if budget allows. For classic tone, get the Fender Mustang III.

I know it works great with the frontman not sure about the champion. Keep in mind this just changes from clean to distortion or should I say from channel A to channel B. Look at the fender front man and see if the setup is similar to yours.

Used it with a Fender electric. You have to adjust the input settings in Garage Band.

Hello, The ART USB Dual Pre should have enough gain to act as a guitar preamp, If your goal is to use it to pre-amplify your guitar output and record it via USB on your computer it will do the trick. I've had great success using mine for various esoteric computer interface challenges. It works great on Mac and Windows machines.
