Precautions  
• Avoid using the DG60FX-112 in the following locations to prevent possible damage:  
• In direct sunlight or next to heating equipment.  
• In extremely cold or hot locations.  
• Locations exposed to high humidity or excessive dust.  
• Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration.  
• Before making any connections, make sure that the power is switched OFF on the DG60FX-112  
and any external devices.  
To protect speakers from possible damage, always set the OUTPUT knob to “0” before switching  
the power ON/OFF.  
• When connecting a speaker to this unit, make sure that the power is switched OFF first.  
• Do not apply excessive force to the switches, knobs and controls.  
• The DG60FX-112 is a precision device. Handle it with care and avoid dropping or jarring it.  
• Operating temperatures will rise during use. Make sure the DG60FX-112 is used in a well-venti-  
lated are.  
• For safety, always remove the power plug from the AC wall outlet if there is any danger of light-  
ning striking in your area.  
• Keep the DG60FX-112 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.  
• 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.  
About the Backup Battery  
A backup battery (lithium battery) is used to keep internal data (settings) from being lost, even when  
the power cord is unplugged. Internal data will be lost when battery power is depleted, so it is recom-  
mended that data be stored to an external data recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3  
(page 24), or keep records of settings in memo form. The average battery life span is about 3  
years. When replacement becomes necessary contact the music store where the unit was pur-  
chased, or a qualified service representative, to perform the replacement.  
• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery by yourself.  
• Keep the backup battery out of reach of children.  
• “E5” appears in the display when the battery becomes depleted. Internal data may be lost.  
• Data may be lost if the unit is improperly handled or if repairs are performed.

Using the DG60FX-112  
First, connect a guitar to the DG60FX-112 and try some sounds.  
Produce Sound  
1. Before connecting, turn off the power on the  
DG60FX-112 and connect a guitar to either the  
LOW or HIGH INPUT jack.  
Note: When the patch’s number is shown on the  
display the device is in a condition called the  
PLAY MODE. When in the PLAY MODE, it is  
possible to select a patch and use the knobs  
or buttons to change settings to play.  
High output guitars should be connected to the  
jack labeled LOW while low output guitars should  
be connected to the jack labeled HIGH.  
For now use this patch to try and produce some  
sound.  
4. Play a chord on the guitar and rotate the OUT-  
PUT knob to the right to control the volume.  
2. After rotating the OUTPUT knob to the “0” posi-  
tion, turn the POWER switch (POWER) to ON  
* If the peak indicator continuously lights while playing the  
guitar, the level of the guitar’s input signal is too high. Either  
use the INPUT jack labeled LOW or reduce the guitar’s out-  
put (volume).  
(
).  
Turning the POWER switch ON when the OUTPUT  
knob is turned up may result in damage to devices  
such as amplifier, speaker, headphone, etc., or  
cause unexpected accidents like damage to your  
hearing due to a high volume setting.  
3. A 3-digit number such as “011” will appear on  
the display.  
The numbers (Group number: 0, Bank number:  
1, Patch number: 1) refer to the patch that is  
currently selected.  
12  
 
Using the DG60FX-112  
Try Changing the Settings  
Use the knobs or buttons on the panel to create your own original tone.  
Try creating your own sound  
The AMP SELECT switch functions in the same  
manner. When the knob is rotated, the patch’s  
selected amp type will flash on the display. Ro-  
tate the knob to the position of the amp type  
indicated in the display and then select an amp  
type you want to use.  
Knob positions do not represent the current patch’s  
value settings so the knob must be aligned with its  
setting value (editable condition) in order to make  
changes to the value. For this reason, the following  
rules apply when a knob is moved.  
Rotate a knob, if the [UP] lamp flashes, rotate the  
knob to the right (toward 10). If the [DOWN] lamp  
flashes, rotate the knob to the left (toward 0).  
At this time, that patch’s data value (the value  
set in the patch of the knob you are turning) will  
flash on the display.  
The OUTPUT knob and MASTER knob  
Either knob can be used to change the volume.  
However, the MASTER knob setting is included with  
the patch data while the OUTPUT knob setting is  
not. Use the MASTER knob to set the volume of  
each patch and use the OUTPUT knob to set the  
volume as heard from the speaker.  
* As long as the value is flashing on the display, the tone and  
value will not change when the knob is rotated.  
Change the Effect Setting  
Try switching the each of the effect blocks ON/OFF  
or try changing the effect. Also, try using the knobs  
for each of the effects to change the character of  
the effect.  
The DG60FX-112’s effects section is divided into  
the following 4 blocks,  
• Continue rotating the knob in the previously de-  
scribed direction and the patch’s data value  
shown in the display as well as the [UP]/[DOWN]  
lamp will stop flashing and indicate the actual  
value corresponding to the knob’s position.  
* After you stop moving the knob, the value will be displayed  
for about 2 more seconds after which it will return to the  
normal display.  
• Compressor (COMP)  
• Modulation (CHORUS/FLANGER/PHASER/  
ROTARY/TREMOLO)  
• Delay (DELAY/TAPE ECHO)  
• Reverb (SPRING/HALL/PLATE)  
• Press the corresponding button to select the ef-  
fect you want to use (the lamp will light). How-  
ever, only one effect per block can be used at a  
time. Also, if a button that is lit (ON) is pressed,  
the light will go off and the effect in that block will  
be switched (OFF).  
* Even if only one setting value is changed, the [MANUAL]  
lamp will flash to indicate that the patch’s data has changed.  
When settings for all knobs (with the exception of OUT-  
PUT) have changed, the [MANUAL] lamp will light.  
• Once the knob is in an editable condition (in  
which the setting’s value can be changed), turn-  
ing the knob will result in the value shown in the  
display changing in regards to the knob’s posi-  
tion and a relative change in the tone.  
All knobs can be used to set the parameters of  
the effect selected in the block.  
* Refer to [Effect Functions and Parameters] (page 19) for more  
information on each effect’s function or knob’s setting.  
* The operation of each knob follows the same rules as the pre-  
amplifier section.  
The previously described rules apply to all knobs  
except the OUTPUT knob.

Using the DG60FX-112  
Set the Speaker Simulator  
When listening through a pair of headphones, or  
connected directly via a line to a mixer or recorder,  
the speaker simulator can be used to add the “live”  
characteristics of a speaker to the tone output of  
the DG60FX-112.  
When another patch is selected, any set-  
tings you have altered will revert to their  
original settings.  
* The speaker simulator does have an effect on the sound pro-  
duced by the main speaker. When the main speaker is used,  
we recommend that the speaker simulator be switched OFF.

Effect Functions and Parameters  
FLANGER  
Creates a sound resembling a jet.  
Compressor  
Comp (Compressor)  
• SPEED knob  
Controlling the input signal (peak) this effect keeps  
the maximum level constrained to the level set with  
the knob.  
Sets the speed at which the pitch will vibrate.  
• DEPTH knob  
Sets the depth at which the pitch will vibrate.  
• SPEED knob + [FLANGER]  
Sets the delay time.  
• COMP knob  
Rotate the knob to the right to increase the depth  
of the compression.  
• DEPTH knob + [FLANGER]  
Sets the feedback level.  
When set to “0.0” it will have no effect.  
PHASER  
This changes the cyclical phase to give the sound a  
wave like motion.  
Modulation Effects  
• SPEED knob  
Sets the speed at which the phase changes.  
• DEPTH knob  
There are five modulation effects, CHORUS,  
FLANGER, PHASER, ROTARY and TREMOLO.  
• The two knobs controlling modulation param-  
eters are double duty knobs. As is, they control  
speed and depth of the selected effect but hold-  
ing the currently selected effect's button while  
turning the knob can access a second function  
for each knob.  
Sets the depth of the phase.  
• SPEED knob + [PHASER]  
Sets the feedback level.  
• DEPTH knob + [PHASER]  
Sets the mix level of the phase effect.  
ROTARY (Rotary Speaker)  
This effect simulates a two-way rotary speaker.  
• Secondary function parameters are also stored  
with the patch’s data. When a patch is selected,  
the secondary parameter settings that are stored  
in the patch’s data will be assigned to the patch.  
• When a different modulation effect is selected  
from the modulation effect block, the previous  
effect's settings will be used for the SPEED and  
DEPTH knob’s individual parameter values.  
Secondary parameter values are set to the value  
most recently used for the selected effect. (Sec-  
ondary parameter values are always stored in  
the unit with individual effects.)  
• SPEED knob  
Sets the rotation speed of the low frequency  
speaker.  
• DEPTH knob  
Sets the rotation speed of the high frequency  
speaker.  
• SPEED knob + [ROTARY]  
Sets the angle at which the left and right micro-  
phones are set in relation to the speaker. A set-  
ting of “0” will produce a monaural sound while  
a setting of “10.0” will produce a microphone  
placement of 180 degrees.  
To return the secondary parameter’s setting to  
its factory default value, hold that effect’s button  
until the five modulation effect lamps are lit.  
• DEPTH knob + [ROTARY]  
Sets the volume balance between the high fre-  
quency speaker and low frequency speaker.  
CHORUS  
This is a typical chorus effect.  
TREMOLO  
• SPEED knob  
Sets the speed at which the pitch will vibrate.  
• DEPTH knob  
Sets the depth at which the pitch will vibrate.  
• SPEED knob + [CHORUS]  
Sets the delay time.  
This effect changes the volume cyclically.  
• SPEED knob  
Sets the speed at which the volume changes.  
• DEPTH knob  
Sets the range in which the volume changes.  
• DEPTH knob + [CHORUS]  
Sets the mix level of the chorus effect.  
19  
 
Effect Functions and Parameters  
• SPEED knob + [TREMOLO]  
• FEEDBACK knob  
Sets the phase difference between the left and  
right sounds. From 0 degrees to 360 degrees  
(0.0-10.0). Set to “5” the knob works like a ste-  
reo pan pot.  
Sets the number of times the effect will repeat.  
* Too high of a setting may result in an uncontrolled oscilla-  
tion of sound. Please use caution.  
• LEVEL knob  
• DEPTH knob + [TREMOLO]  
Controls the volume of the source signal into the  
Tape Echo circuit.  
* If the same Tape Echo setting is switched from a patch us-  
ing a LEVEL other than “0” to a patch using a LEVEL of  
“0”, the remaining Tape Echo will be leftover. Of course,  
the sound of the new patch will not be affected by the Tape  
Echo.  
Sets the wave shape of the tremolo. A setting of  
“0.0” produces a triangular wave. Rotate the knob  
to the right to change the shape to a trapezoid  
with its sharpness increasing the more the knob  
is turned.  
Delay Effects  
Reverb Effects  
There are two effects, DELAY and TAPE ECHO.  
There are three types of digital reverb, SPRING,  
HALL and PLATE.  
DELAY  
This is a digital delay effect. The sound played will  
be repeated after a determined pause.  
SPRING (Spring Reverb)  
This effect simulates the spring reverb of a vintage  
guitar amp.  
• TIME knob  
Sets the delay time (from the time or the original  
sound to the time of the delay).  
• REVERB knob  
Controls the volume of the source signal into the  
Reverb circuit.  
When the delay effect is used, it is possible  
to set theTIME parameter (delay time) by tap-  
ping on the BANK switch.Tap a few times on  
the BANK switch in the tempo you want to  
set the delay to. The interval in which the  
switch was tapped will be set in theTIME pa-  
rameter.  
HALL (Hall Reverb)  
This effect simulates the reverb of a hall.  
• REVERB knob  
Controls the volume of the source signal into the  
Reverb circuit.  
• FEEDBACK knob  
Sets the number of times the effect will repeat.  
* Too high of a setting may result in an uncontrolled oscilla-  
tion of sound. Please use caution.  
PLATE (Plate Reverb)  
This effect simulates the reverb of a metal plate.  
• LEVEL knob  
Controls the volume of the source signal into the  
Delay circuit.  
* If the same Delay setting is switched from a patch using a  
LEVEL other than “0” to a patch using a LEVEL of “0”,  
the remaining Delay will be leftover. Of course, the sound  
of the new patch will not be affected by the delay.  
• REVERB knob  
Controls the volume of the source signal into the  
Reverb circuit.  
* If the same Reverb type is switched from a patch using a  
LEVEL other than “0” to a patch using a LEVEL of “0”,  
the remaining Reverb will be leftover. Of course, the sound  
of the new patch will not be affected by the Reverb.  
TAPE ECHO  
A digital simulation that provides an realistic repro-  
duction of the classic tape echo.  
• TIME Knob  
Sets the delay time (from the time of the original  
sound to the time of the delay).  
* Just as in the DELAY effect, tapping on the BANK switch  
can set the TIME (Delay Time) parameter.
