herein. The MIDI In port is disabled when the Z-9 Footswitch is connected. A

Connect only the ENGL Z-9 Footswitch to this 6.3 mm (1/4") stereo jack!
Connecting any other switching device may damage it and/or the amp's circuitry!
The Custom Z-9 Footswitch was designed with the non-MIDI guitarist in mind. It's sure
to delight if you don't or won't use MIDI systems. Based on a rather nifty switching
concept, it provides direct access to the four channels Alongside selecting channels,
you can opt to control any other two switchable amp functions, for example,
,
,
, etc. Another tremendous benefit of this microcontroller-
driven foot board is that it connects to the amp via an easily obtained, standard stereo
cord. But that's not the last of the Z-9's advantages: At some point, you may decide to
ramp up or connect to a MIDI system. This won't render the Z-9 obsolete because it
also serves as a simple MIDI foot board with a MIDI OUT (5-pin DIN connector) that
selects 10 MIDI patches (or presets, if you prefer). Again, I want to emphasize that you
should never connect another foot board to this jack: The Z-9 controls the amp via a
proprietary ENGL serial data protocol, and the Serial Amp Control Port was developed
exclusively for ENGL amps. No other foot board will work and in fact is likely to
damage the foot board or amp's circuitry!
Use this jack to connect a conventional footswitch with two switching functions (for
example, the ENGL Z-4) that let you access the four channels
,
,
and
. One of the two switches activates main channel 1 and 2, while the other
activates the selected main channels two subordinate channels,
and
or
and
, as the case may be. The onboard channel switching facility, is
disabled when you plug a footswitch into this jack.
A footswitch may be equipped with LEDs indicating the given switching
status. Each of the two switches is provided with 15 milliamperes current, which
suffices to power a standard LED.
The jack's mono terminal selects the main channel, while the stereo terminal selects
the sub channel (refer to Pin Assignments on page31).
This knob activates an onboard Noise Gate serving to suppress excess noise in main
channel 2 (Lead I and Lead II) when you twist it to the right, past about the 9 o'clock
position.
Use this knob to set a threshold value (that is, the noise level) at which the Noise
Gate activates to suppress the signal within the 9 to 5 o'clock range. The further
you twist the knob to the right, the higher the signal level at which the Noise Gate
kicks in.
and
generate different levels of noise, and I tuned the ENGL
Sovereign's
accordingly. However, there is some minor matching variance
between the two.

activated) stands to benefit
most from the
, so I suggest that you tweak its two knobs for this mode.
