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.
Gain & Volume Controls
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
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
Channel 2 includes a Brightness switch that activates
circuitry providing an additional treble boost, which
helps make your tone sparkle.
Master
Controls
Master Control
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.
Contour Control
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
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
The Preamp Out and Amp In jacks of the DG60R allow
convenient use of an external effects unit. Simply connect
a ¼-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 ¼-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 ¼-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.
