Precautions
● Avoid using your amplifier in the following locations to prevent
possible damage:
• In direct sunlight or next to heating equipment.
• Extremely cold or hot locations.
• Locations exposed to high humidity or excessive dust.
• Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration.

● Operating temperatures will rise during use. Make sure the
amplifier is used in a well-ventilated area. The DG60-112 should
be placed in a position were there is at least 30cm (12”) clearance from the wall on the sides, top and back of the amplifier.
● For safety, always remove the power plug from the AC wall
outlet if there is any danger of lightning striking in your area.

● Before making any connections, make sure that the power on the
amplifier and any external devices is switched OFF.
● To protect the speaker from possible damage, always set the
MASTER knob to “0” before switching the power ON/OFF.

● Keep the amplifier away from neon signs or fluorescent lighting
to prevent noise pickup.
● To prevent damage and possibly electrical shock, never open the
case and tamper with the internal circuitry.

● When connecting a speaker to this unit make sure to turn OFF
the power first.

● Never use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids for cleaning,
as these chemicals may cause damage or discoloration to the
finish. Always use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

● Do not apply excessive force to the switches and controls.
● Your Yamaha guitar amplifier is a precision musical instrument.

The DG60-112 is a high-quality guitar amp with 2 independent channels.
You can switch between channel A (the upper row of knobs t-o) settings and channel B (the lower row of knobs t-o) with the
switch e or with a foot-switch. Control knobs t-o for both channels A and B operate in the same manner.

q Input Jack (INPUT HIGH, LOW)
The amplifier’s input jack.
The guitar is connected to the amplifier here. Guitars with a high output
should be connected to the LOW jack while guitars with a low output
should be connected to the HIGH jack. If you want a clean tone we
recommend connecting the guitar to the LOW jack.

GAIN level creates a tone similar to that natural overdrive when the
volume is raised on a tube amplifier. This crisp tone is excellent for
playing riffs and rhythm parts.
• CLEAN1, CLEAN2
A clean sound without distortion. Use an effect such as reverb or chorus to create a spacious sound.

* Always switch the power off before connecting the guitar.

w Peak Indicator
This indicator is used to match the input level. The indicator lights when
the peak level is exceeded.

e Channel Select Switch
Use to switch between Channels A and B.
Press the switch to select the channel you want to use.
When Channel A ( ) is selected, the amplifier will produce tone according to the settings specified by the upper row of knobs t – o. When
Channel B( ) is selected, the amplifier will produce tone according to
the settings specified by the lower row of knobs t – o.

r Channel Indicator
The indicator lamp corresponding to the currently selected channel lights.

t Amp Select Switch
Use to select one of the 8 internal preset guitar amp types.
With any of the amp types, basically 2 is brighter than 1.
Depending upon the control settings, as shown in “Setting Examples” on
the page 8, the tone character that is possible is wider than what the
amp type’s name implies.
• LEAD1, LEAD2
Lead offers a tone with heavy distortion. Substantial mids provide a fat
tone with excellent sustain.
• DRIVE1, DRIVE2
Drive offers a thick overdrive tone with excellent sustain similar to when
the volume is fully raised on a tube amplifier. Using the tone control
knobs to adjust the balance of their respective frequencies creates a
wider variety of tone.
• CRUNCH1, CRUNCH2
Crunch offers expressive picking articulation and nuance. Raise the

* What is a Speaker Simulator?
The speaker simulator adds the live nuance of a speaker to the
line signal.
When you connect the DG60-112 directly to a mixer or MTR the
speaker simulator will add the acoustic characteristics of a speaker,
as heard through a microphone, to the tone.
