Yamaha DG60fx

Yamaha DG60FX-112 60W combo (eminence)

please see sidebar for details

This one is the usual spec. with a factory installed USA Eminence 1x12" speaker (the other has a factory installed Celestion 1x12).

They are otherwise identical in spec.

Price: £125 inc. footpedal.

Condition: B- (= Fairly Good for age)
This Eminence version has seen a little more usage and is priced accordingly, but it has never been mistreated. The marks on the included footpedal are perhaps the best indication of wear and tear.

Observations:
Read throught the specification, and online. It is basically a powered DG Stomp, with all of its facilities. It has 8 amplifier types built in with 2 each of 'clean', 'crunch', 'drive' and 'lead'. Some commenters venture the names of what they are based on, but I have never seem Yamaha stick its neck out, so take this as a 'ball park approximation':

Lead 1 - Marshall Lead2 - Soldano
Drive 1 - Fender Bassman Drive2 - Fender Twin
Crunch1 - Vox AC30 Crunch 2 - Matchless
Clean 1 - Fender Twin Silverface Clean 2 - Fender Twin Full Blackface

Loads of very useful effects (rememeber it's the same as the DG Stomp developed with Allan Holdsworth). I find the 'compressor' and 'tape echo' invaluable, as are the inbuilt cab sims, but the real star (imo) is the rotary cabinet simulation which can be endlessly tweaked to give the sound of high and low spinning sound sources.

(It's not an effect I use, but it's almost worth the purchase price alone compare to others I've heard).

You've got to read the manual and dig in.

Overall:
The very first of the modelling amps, it manages to avoid endless manu diving + once set up offers a vast variety of sounds from the included footswitch. Better still add a simple MIDI pedal to select programs and allow the footswitch to act purely as FX on/off within any pre-programmed amp set up.

Shipping / Collection:
Please note it weighs in at 17kG, around 20kG packed, so while not Fender Twin back breaking size it would be better being picked up if possible..
