Rear Panel

Hands-Free Remote Control

The amp may be controlled remotely using a 

 Z-17 pedal or one, two or three footswitchs such as the 

 Z-4.

S.A.C.Port (

 Z-17 Footswitch)

The   switches   on   the   Z-17   pedal   operate   specific   functions.   These 
assignments  depend  on which  amp input  is  in  use  (Input  A or  B)  

and 

whether or not SWAP is depressed.

Function 1 (Mute) 

and 

function 2 (Swap) 

are always assigned to the 

same switch because they are used for both channels.

The assignments of 

functions 3 

to

 6

 vary according to the currently active channel (as indicated by the blue 

LED on the amp).
