The Squier Stop Dreaming, Start Playing! Set's G-DEC Junior amp and Affinity Stratocaster guitar.
Maybe you’re a beginner. Then again, maybe you’re not—maybe you’re a re-beginner; someone who is rediscovering your youthful love of guitar and is returning to the instrument after several years or more. You’ve always dreamed of starting to do it or of coming back to it, and now you’re ready to make good on it, so welcome. Or welcome back, as the case may be.
It’s everything you need all in one box—A great-sounding, cool-looking and easy-playing Squier Affinity Stratocaster® HSS guitar (“HSS” denotes a guitar with a humbucking bridge pickup) with all the accessories included—the strap, the cable, the gig bag, the picks, the whole shebang.
Of course, the guitar doesn’t sound like anything until you plug it into the box with the knobs on it. That’s the real star of the show in the Stop Dreaming, Start Playing! Set: the amp.
The included 15-watt Fender® G-DEC Junior amp is what really provides the set’s all-in-one, instant-band beauty. It is positively packed with versatile digital features that let you plug the Stratocaster in and dive right into playing with a variety of great accompaniment features practically as soon as you open the box (see and hear it in action here). These include:
16 different amp types that recreate the guitar tones necessary to play almost any style of music.
15 special effects presets, including reverb, delay, chorus, flanging and tremolo.
15 drum/bass accompaniment loops, including patterns great for rock, blues, jazz, metal, country, Latin, hip-hop and more.
Built-in metronome.
Tempo control with settings from 30 to 240 beats per minute.
Key control dial that allows selection of 14 different keys (with “bass off” option if you only want to hear drums).
Separate volume controls for guitar and backing loops.
Built-in “E” tuner.
MIDI connection for streaming MIDI song files from a computer.
1/8” auxiliary input that lets you connect external devices (e.g., mp3 player, CD player).
1/8” headphone jack that doubles as line output to recording gear or another amp.
See? Your new band is ready for you. And if you’re a teensy bit rusty, don’t sweat it—the pack’s Affinity Stratocaster, G-DEC Junior and accessories will have you in fighting shape in no time. We’ll let you get to it now, so Stop Dreaming and Start Playing!
