Instructions pertaining to a risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to a person

Read Instructions: The Owner’s Manual should be read and

understood before operation of your unit. Please, save these instruc­tions for future reference and heed all warnings.

Clean only with dry cloth.

Packaging: Keep the box and packaging materials, in case the unit

needs to be returned for service.

Warning: To reduce the risk or fire or electric shock, do not expose

this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Do not use this apparatus near water!

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.

Avertissement: Pour réduire le risque de feu ou la décharge

électrique, n'exposez pas cet appareil à la pluie ou à l'humidité.

N’utilisez pas cet appareil près de l’eau!

Attention: Lors de l’utilisation de produits électrique, assurez-vous

d’adhérer à des précautions de bases incluant celle qui suivent:

Alimentation

L’appareil ne doit être branché qu’à une source d’alimentation correspondant au
voltage spécifié dans le manuel ou tel qu’indiqué sur l’appareil. Cet appareil est
équipé d’une prise d’alimentation polarisée. Ne pas utiliser cet appareil avec un
cordon de raccordement à moins qu’il soit possible d’insérer complètement les trois
lames. Des précautions doivent êtres prises afin d’eviter que le système de mise à la
terre de l’appareil ne soit désengagé.

Risque

Ne pas placer cet appareil sur un chariot, un support, un trépied ou une table instables.
L’appareil pourrait tomber et blesser quelqu’un ou subir des dommages importants.
Utiliser seulement un chariot, un support, un trépied ou une table recommandés par le
fabricant ou vendus avec le produit. Suivre les instructions du fabricant pour installer
l’appareil et utiliser les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.

Il convient de ne pas placer sur l’appareil de sources de flammes nues, telles que

des bougies allumées.

L’appeil ne doit pas être exposé à des égouttements d’eau ou des éclaboussures

et qu’aucun objet rempli de liquide tel que des vases ne doit être placé sur l’appareil.

Assurez que lappareil est fourni de la propre ventilation. Ne procédez pas à
l’installation près de source de chaleur tels que radiateurs, registre de chaleur, fours
ou autres appareils (incluant les amplificateurs) qui produisent de la chaleur.

Les dispositifs marqués d’une symbole “d’éclair” sont des parties dangereuses
au toucher et que les câblages extérieurs connectés à ces dispositifs de
connection extérieure doivent être effectivés par un opérateur formé ou en utilisant
des cordons déjà préparés.

Cordon d’Alimentation

Ne pas enlever le dispositif de sécurité sur la prise polarisée ou la prise avec tige de
mise à la masse du cordon d’alimentation. Une prise polarisée dispose de deux
lames dont une plus large que l’autre. Une prise avec tige de mise à la masse
dispose de deux lames en plus d’une troisième tige qui connecte à la masse. La
lame plus large ou la tige de mise à la masse est prévu pour votre sécurité. La prise
murale est désuète si elle n’est pas conçue pour accepter ce type de prise avec
dispositif de sécurité. Dans ce cas, contactez un électricien pour faire remplacer la
prise murale. Évitez d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation. N’UTILISEZ PAS
L’APPAREIL si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé.

Débranchez cet appareil durant les orages ou si inutilisé pendant de longues périodes.

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 panel­mounted 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.
