1. Use a dual footswitch such as the ENGL Z-4, connecting it to the amp via a stereo cord equipped
with ¼" jack plugs.
You can switch channels and
Gain Boost
via the dual footswitch connected
to port 17,
M.V.B.
and
Reverb Off/On
via the dual footswitch connected to port 16.
2. Use a MIDI switcher such as the ENGL Z-11, connecting it to the amp via three stereo cords
equipped with ¼" jack plugs.
The buttons on the switcher can serve to control
Clean/Lead
,
Gain
Boost
,
M.V.B.
and
Reverb
. You can also program all kinds of switching setups to the various MIDI
program locations. Here's just one example: You could configure MIDI Preset #1 so that the Clean
channel and
Reverb
are on, while
Gain Boost
and
M.V.B.
, are off. Then you could set MIDI Preset #2
up so that Lead channel,
Gain Boost
, and
M.V.B.
are on, while
Reverb
is off.
Whatever setups you decide to program, you can easily activate the desired configuration directly
via a MIDI board such as the ENGL Z-9, Z-12, or Z-15.
This type of control option is extremely versatile; we recommend it highly if you intend to use
the amp in conjunction with any MIDI system, including MIDI effects devices.
Speaker / cabinet options:
* Another option would be to connect two 16-ohm cabinets in parallel
instead of one 8-ohm cabinet.
