If you want to experience real remote control convenience, try an ENGL Z-9 foot
controller. You can dial in different levels for
and
, assign these
settings to any channel and access them directly via the four channel switches on the
ENGL Z-9 foot controller. This gives you a range of alternatives that you can apply to
different playing styles and musical genres to great dramatic effect. What's more, you
can use Clean & Crunch mode for rhythm or cleaner lead lines and Channel 3's or
Channel 4's overdriven preamp stage for power chords and soloing, and go from soft
to loud at the touch of a button. Beyond that, you can also broaden the volume and
tonal ranges by working your guitars' volume knob. If your arsenal includes MIDI gear -

Power amp standby switch: Use this switch to silence (0 position) the amp when you
take longer break. The amp's tubes stay nice and toasty, and the amp is ready to roll
immediately when you ramp it back up to full power.
I suggest you get into the habit of using standby during short breaks. In this mode,
current is not piped through the power tubes, so they don't get as hot (due to the lack
of anode dissipation) and are spared considerable wear. The amp is ready to run when
you flip the Standby switch because the tubes are already warm and don't require time
to heat up. For breaks of 30 minutes and longer, I recommend that you switch the amp
off in order to conserve energy.
Mains power on/off.
ensure that the Stand By switch (29) is set to
(0 position) before
you switch the amp on. Let the tubes heat up for about 30 seconds before you activate
