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
supplied 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 5

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
supplied footswitch pedal. A red LED illuminates to
indicate when the boost is active.

Channel 1 Tone Controls 6

The Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls are used
to help shape your sound. They are post-gain and pre­volume. 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.

Master Controls

Master Control

This Master control not only
adjusts the overall volume
level of the DG65D/DG65R
but also provides control
of the output power. The
DG65’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 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.

Effects Select (DG65D only)

This control selects 1 of 16
different modulation effects. 4
Vibrato, 4 Chorus, 4 Flange,
and 4 Special effects are
available. The reverb is only changed in the 4 Special
effects but remains unchanged for all other effects.

Effects Control (DG65D only)

This control affects the depth of the modulation
effects from the DSP effects processor. It does not
affect the reverb level.

Reverb Control (DG65R only) 14

The Reverb control adjusts the overall reverb level for
both channels. The
DG65R is equipped
with a long-style
Accutronics® dual­spring reverb for
authentic vintage
reverb. The DG65D
is equipped with a
24-bit DSP based
effects processor
for lush large room reverb and effects.

EFX / Line Preamp Out & Amp In Jacks 21

The Preamp Out and Amp In jacks of the DG65 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 DG65, connect the
output of the effects unit to the Amp In jack of the DG65.
