• The amp or speaker cords may be picking up interference from powerful magnetic fields (for example,
of nearby power transformers or electrical motors). Reposition the amp and connector cables.
• The amp or speaker cords may be picking up radio signals, for example, from activated mobile tele-
phones or powerful local transmitting stations nearby. Switch off mobile phones while troubleshoo-
ting noise problems.
One of the power tube fuses blows:
• The given power tube is probably defective. If that power tube‘s fuse is replaced and the new fuse also
blows, the tube needs to be swapped out.
• The amp has been overloaded, perhaps by excessive volume levels, excess mains voltage, or the
wrong output impedance (where the impedance setting does not match the connected speaker‘s
impedance). Check the speakers‘ overall impedance and, if necessary, adjust your setup accordingly.

Comments:
Column 1
lists the Function button on the ENGL Z9. Column 2 lists the sound-shaping and special functions
that can be assigned to it.
Column 2
lists sound-shaping and special functions that can be controlled remotely via the ENGL Z9.
Column 3
lists the configuration or setting required to remote-control sound-shaping or special functions.
The first digit indicates the Function Setup routine, that is, 1: for Function 1 Setup and 2: for Function 2 Setup.
Channel 1 to Channel 4 denotes the button used to enter the setting.
Column 4
indicates the currently or newly selected configuration. For example, if LED 3 flashes when the
ENGL Z9‘s Function 2 Setup routine is activated, then the SAVAGE II Amp‘s FX Loop I / II switching feature is
currently assigned to Function 2 the corresponding S.A.C. command is F2-7.
