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 recommended that data be stored to an external data recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 ( page. 12), 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 purchased, 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. E6 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.

Before connecting speakers to the speaker jack(s) check the power rating and impedance of the speaker and make sure they meet or are within the requirements recommended for the equipment.

s For the DG100-212A

The amplifiers internal speaker (4 ) is connected to the speaker jack. If it is necessary, you can disconnect the internal speaker and connect an external speaker to the speaker jack. When an external speaker is used, make sure the speaker(s) meets the following requirements. A power rating of at least 100 W, impedance of 4 8.

Total Impedance

If two or more speakers are to be connected, you must take into consideration the total impedance of the speakers. Speakers normally have an impedance of 4, 8 or 16. When two or more speakers are used together, the total impedance will change according to the manner in which the speakers are connected. q Connecting in a series The total impedance equals the impedance of the 1st speaker + 2nd speaker + 3rd speaker + When three speakers are connected in a series, as shown below, the total impedance will be 24.
s For the DG80-210A/DG80-112A
The amps internal speaker (8 ) is connected to the SPEAKER 1 jack. The SPEAKER 2 (EXT) jack can be used to add an external speaker(s). Also, if necessary, you can disconnect the internal speaker to connect 2 external speakers directly to the amp. The two speaker jacks are connected in parallel. When external speakers are used, make sure the speakers meet the following requirements. q When one speaker jack is used. A power rating of at least 100 W, impedance of 4 16. The total impedance for the speakers in a circuit must not be less than 4. q When both speaker jacks are used. Speakers connected to each jack must have a power rating of at least 100 W, and impedance of 8 16. The total impedance for the speakers in a circuit must not be less than 4.

1. Press the button so that the EFFECT lamp is lit. When the EFFECT mode is entered each knob, GAIN REVERB, will rotate to the positions set in the memory. 2. Use the GAIN REVERB knobs to adjust the amount of each effect as needed. q Tremolo Effect
GAIN (SPEED: Tremolo Speed) Sets the speed of the Tremolo Effect (the speed at which the effects volume is increased and decreased). Rotate the knob to the right to increase the speed. MASTER (DEPTH: Tremolo Depth) Sets the depth of the Tremolo Effect (the upper and lower limits of the effects volume). Rotate the knob to the right to produce more effect.

q Chorus Effect

TREBLE (SPEED: Chorus Speed) Sets the speed of the Chorus Effect (the speed at which the effects pitch is raised and lowered). Rotate the knob to the right to increase the speed. HIGH MID (DEPTH: Chorus Depth) Sets the depth of the Chorus Effect (the upper and lower limits of the effects pitch). Rotate the knob to the right to produce more effect. LOW MID (LEVEL: Chorus Level) Sets the mix level of the Chorus Effect.

q Tape Echo Effect

BASS (TIME: Echo Time) Sets the amount of time between the sounding of the string and the echo sound (the amount of time it takes between one echo and the next). Rotate the knob to the right to increase the amount of time. PRESENCE (FEEDBACK) Sets the length of time that the echo will repeat. Rotate the knob to the right to increase the length of time. Rotating the knob too much can result in uncontrollable feedback, please use caution. REVERB (LEVEL: Echo Level) Sets the echos volume level.

s Sound Settings

Choose one of the DG amplifiers eight preset amp types, then use the GAIN+MASTER, and tone controls to shape the guitars sound. 1. Choose an amp type using one of the AMP SELECT buttons. The selected amp type buttons LED will light. 2. Use the GAIN, MASTER, and the five tone controls to shape the guitars sound.
HINT OUTPUT knob and MASTER knob
Turning either knob will change the volume. The MASTER knob controls the preamps master volume. This setting is stored in memory. The OUTPUT knob controls the power amps volume. This setting is not stored in memory. Volume levels for individual memory settings should be set with the MASTER knob. The speakers output level should be controlled with the OUTPUT knob. * When an AMP SELECT button is pressed, all knobs (except TRIM, OUTPUT and REVERB) will return to their preset positions. (GAIN and MASTER = 7, all tone controls = 5. To save edited settings, refer to the Store Settings section on page 10.)
3. When the setting procedure is complete, press the or button and the AMP lamp will light. Each of the GAIN REVERB knobs will revert to the positions they were to prior to entering the EFFECT mode. * Effect settings will remain in effect even if the AMP SELECT button is pressed to select another amp type. When you recall a different memory number with the Recall Memory function (refer to page 10), the settings for that memory numbers effect will then be in affect.

3. Using the / buttons, select a memory number to which the settings will be saved. The memory number will flash in the display. * Press and hold either of the / buttons makes memory numbers cycle rapidly. * The third digit of the memory number (100 128) is represented by a dot between the two digits. Example) 128 is displayed as 4. Press and hold the button for about one second, until 8.8 appears on the display. Release the button, the flashing memory number will then light indicating the setting is saved to memory. * TRIM and OUTPUT settings cannot be stored in memory. Use the MASTER knob to set backing and soloing levels.

Data stored in memory (1 128) can be saved to an external MIDI storage device. Refer to page 12 for details.

Initialize the memory

While holding both the button and button, turn the Power Switch ON, the initialize to factory preset operation will be carried out and the entire memory will be returned to its factory preset condition. When the initialize operation is carried out, data in memory numbers 1-80 will be re-written with data in the Patch List and the data in memory numbers will also be reset to their factory preset condition. Any data you have saved to memory will be erased, so we strongly recommend that you save any important data to an external MIDI device or document the settings before carrying out the operation.
HINT Some hints on storing memory numbers
When storing data to memory numbers, divide the memory numbers into several groups. Recalling memory numbers from these groups is much more convenient. For example: Create groups according to the amp type used (LEAD1, DRIVE 1, etc.). Create groups based on sound types (Distortion, Clean, etc.) Create groups based on live performance song lists. Create groups based on the type of guitar used (humbucker, etc.). It is also a good idea to keep a chart handy listing the types of sounds are stored in memory numbers.

Easy to Use Functions

MIDI commands can be used to select memory numbers, control the reverb, tremolo, chorus and tape echo effects, and control volume on the DG amplifier. A speaker simulator can also be applied to the LINE OUT signal. What is MIDI? MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instruments Digital Interface. MIDI is a world-wide standard communication interface that allows MIDI compatible musical instruments, computers and other MIDI devices to share musical information and control one another regardless of instrument type or maker.
s Using MIDI to Recall Memory
Program changes sent from a Yamaha MIDI Foot Controller MFC10, etc., or an external MIDI device can be used to recall settings in the DG amplifiers memory. 1. With a MIDI cable, connect the DG amplifiers MIDI IN jack to the MIDI OUT jack on an external MIDI device.

Using procedures 1. and 2. in the previous MIDI Memory Recall section, connect the external MIDI device and set the MIDI receive channel. Next, select the volume control position. For instructions on the setting procedure, refer to page 13 Set the Volume Pedal Position. In this condition, number 7 control change data transmitted from an external MIDI device will now control the DG amplifiers volume. * The DG amplifier does not except MIDI control changes other than numbers 7 and 91 to 94. * For more information on transmitting control data, refer to your external MIDI devices owners manual. * Even if another memory number is selected, main volume data will not change. * When the power is switched ON, main volume data is set to its maximum level. * After the main volume data is changed, and the external MIDI device is disconnected, the volume level may be insufficient. In this case, transmit the volume change again or, turn the power OFF and then ON again.
* Use only a standard MIDI cable that is less than 15 meters in length. Use of a longer cable may result in abnormal operation.

External MIDI Device

2. Set the DG amplifiers MIDI receive channel and the MIDI transmit channel on the external device to the same MIDI channel number (the factory preset channel number is 1). For setting instructions see page 12 Set the MIDI Receive Channel. Create a program change table*1. (The factory preset is, program change number = memory number). For setting instructions see page 12 Creating a Program Change Table. *1 For example, the received program change number 1, recalls the DG amplifiers memory number 5. To achieve this, the received program change number must be assigned to the corresponding memory number. 4. When program memory data is transmitted from an external MIDI device, data in the corresponding memory assigned to the program change table will be recalled.
s Controlling Reverb, Tremolo, Chorus and Tape Echo via MIDI
You can adjust the Reverb Level (No. 91), Tremolo Depth (No. 92), Chorus Level (No. 93) and Tape Echo Level (No. 94) settings by transmitting control change messages from an external MIDI devices MIDI OUT jack to the DG Guitar Amps MIDI IN jack. 1. Connect an external MIDI device as described steps 1 and 2 of the Using MIDI to Recall Memory section on this page and set the MIDI receive channel. Transmit the parameter control change number and control change data from the external MIDI device and you can control the effect parameters listed above. * For further information regarding the transmission of control change data, refer to your external MIDI devices owners manual.

* For instructions on how to transmit program change data, check the owners manual of the external MIDI device you are using.

s Speaker Simulator

The DG amplifiers speaker simulator provides the line signal with a realistic simulation of the natural sound of a speaker. The speaker simulator can be used on the line signal when the LINE OUT jack is connected to a mixer or recorder. For setting instructions, refer to the Speaker Simulator ON/OFF section in this manual.
s Using MIDI to Control Volume
You can control the DG amplifiers overall volume from an external MIDI device using a number 7 control change message (main volume) sent from the MIDI OUT jack of an external MIDI device to the DG amplifiers MIDI IN jack. By connecting a Yamaha MIDI Foot Controller MFC10, etc., or a MIDI device equipped with a foot pedal, you can use the foot pedal to control the volume during performance. Using the following three positions, you can select the control position as to where the volume is changed. bP : Before Pre Amp. Controls the volume before the preamp. AP : After Pre Amp. Controls the volume after the preamp. Ar : After REVERB: Controls the volume after the reverb.
