Your Options for controlling the Artist Edition (R.B.S.) amp remotely:
#1 ENGL Z-9 Custom Footswitch:
This specialized footboard connects to the amp
via a 6.3 mm (¼ ”) stereo cord plugged into the Serial Amp Port - S.A.C. (19).
The Z-9 affords you direct access to the amp's two Channels Clean and Lead
in combination with
Gain Low/High
simply by tapping the four channel switching buttons,
and lets you control two special functions, for example,
Shape
(Contour)
and
FX Loop
.
As an alternative to the Z-9 footswitch, you can also connect the
ENGL Z11-S.A.C.
MIDI Switcher (S.A.C. Out) to the amp's S.A.C. Port for use as a MIDI interface.
#2 A two-way footswitch such as the ENGL Z-4:
Connect
dual footswitches to the amp by plugging stereo 6.3 mm
(¼ ”) cords into jack nos. 20, 21, and 22.
->
Clean/Lead
and
Gain Low/High
(1 x Z-4);
->
Master A/B
and
Shape (Contour)
(1 x Z-4);
->
FX Loop
and
Noise Gate
(1 x Z-4);
As an alternative to dual footswitches, you can connect
a MIDI switcher (the
ENGL Z11-S.A.C.
will do nicely) to these
three jacks to control the six switching functions.
Footswitch connectors
(4 x stereo jack sockets)
located at the rear panel
of the amp.
