Warning: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Power Sources

Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified in the owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug. Do not use with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit is not defeated.

Hazards

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the product and use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus.

Terminals marked with the "lightning bolt" are hazardous live; the external wiring connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed person or the use of ready made leads or cords.

Ensure that proper ventilation is provided around the appliance. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Power Cord

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be damaged. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Service

The unit should be serviced only by qualified service personnel.

Channel 1

Channel 1 is the lead/ overdrive channel and is selected in one of two ways, via the Channel Select switch on the control panel, or via the Channel Select button on the footswitch pedal. A

yellow LED located next to the Channel 1 Volume control illuminates when Channel 1 is active.

*Note: Plugging in the footswitch deactivates the panel-mounted Channel and Boost controls.

Master Controls

Master Control 13

This Master control not only adjusts the overall volume level of the DG60R but also provides control of the output power. The DG60R's

power amplifier has been designed to behave akin to a "tube" power amplifier stage and will provide the same level of compression and soft clipping at all volume levels. The dial has been calibrated to let you know how many watts you're working with.

Gain & Volume Controls ⑤ ⑧

Channel 1 uses a Gain control in conjunction with a Volume control to determine the amount of tube-emulated overdrive and volume. The Gain control is used to adjust the amount of overdrive, while the Volume control allows you to set the actual loudness of the amplifier.

Boost Switch ③ ④

The boost circuit enables you to achieve 'a-bit-more' overdrive for leads when needed. The Boost can be selected via the front panel switch or through the footswitch pedal. A red LED illuminates to indicate when the boost is active.

Channel 1 Tone Controls

The Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls are used to help shape your sound. They are post-gain and pre-volume. These are active only when Channel 1 is selected.

Channel 2

Channel 2 is the clean channel. The layout is the same as that of Channel 1, with independent Gain, Volume, Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls. When channel 2 is active the green LED located next to the Channel 2 Volume control is illuminated.

Brightness Switch 10

Channel 2 includes a Brightness switch that activates circuitry providing an additional treble boost, which helps make your tone sparkle.

Contour Control 12

The Contour control adjusts the amount of mid-scoop, which allows you to dial-in character to your tone from vintage to modern, and all points in between.

Reverb Control 10

The Reverb control adjusts the overall reverb level for both channels. The DG60R is equipped with a 24-bit DSP based effects processor for lush large room reverb.

EFX / Line Preamp Out & Amp In Jacks 23

The Preamp Out and Amp In jacks of the DG60R allow convenient use of an external effects unit. Simply connect a 1 / 4 -inch phone cable to the Preamp Out jack and connect this cable to the input of your effects unit. To send the processed signal back to the DG60R, connect the output of the effects unit to the Amp In jack of the DG60R.

The 14 -inch T.R.S. Preamp Out jack can also be used as a direct line out. The -10 dBu output is ideal for most guitar effects pedals and professional signal processors. You can also use this output to slave the DG60R with another guitar amplifier by plugging into the Amp In jack of the slave amplifier.

The 1/4 -inch T.R.S. Amp In jack accepts an input signal that is passed to the power amplifier, so it can be used as a power amp in. And, since the Master control section affects the Amp In signal, you can use Contour and Reverb to further shape your tone.

Footswitch Jack (Channel Select/Boost) 24

When connected, the footswitch pedal is the exclusive control for the Channel Select and Boost functions, bypassing the switches on the DG60R's control panel. It features dual-latching switches, each with a separate LED indicator.

Footswitch-induced noise is never an issue. The switching is accomplished with internal FET's so there is no audio flowing through the footswitch cable. The DG60R is compatible with most aftermarket latching dual-footswitch pedals although we do recommend the Traynor TFS-2B latching dual-footswitch, with 10-foot cable.

Reverb Defeat Jack 25

Connecting a footswitch to the rear mounted Reverb defeat jack can defeat the internal effects. A footswitch can be used for this purpose. Again, since switching is accomplished using internal FET's, no audio is flowing through the footswitch cable and noise is not an issue.

External Speaker Jack and Internal Speaker Defeat Switch 21 22

The chassis mounted 1 / 4 -inch jack allows convenient connection of an 8-ohm external speaker cabinet. If you disconnect the internal 12-inch Celestion® 7080 speaker by

depressing the Internal Speaker Defeat switch, you can connect up to two 8-ohm external cabinets (minimum speaker load of 4-ohms).

Headphone Jack & Speaker Defeat 15

The headphone jack can be used with any stereo headphones. The headphone signal is post-preamp and pre-master. This means the signal is affected by all controls, including reverb, but not the Master Volume. For practicing silently, don't forget to disengage the speaker outputs by depressing the Speaker Defeat button.
