A tip from the designer:
12 Sub I/II
To help you get acquainted with the amp's fundamental sounds, I recommend that
you set all tone controls to or slightly higher than the center or 12 o'clock position. For
higher-gain Crunch sounds, your best bet is to turn the Treble Crunch knob down to
prevent the pickups and speakers from generating feedback (a setting in the 10-to -1
o'clock range is recommended).
The Clean and Crunch channels are equipped with dedicated Treble knobs so you can
tweak the top end of each of the two channels separately to suit your taste and the
given sonic scenario. You will find that grittier tones generally sound better with a
touch less treble because preamp saturation makes higher frequencies figure more
prominently in the signal. Bear in mind that you also have the programmable Bright (4)
button at your disposal for shaping the high frequency range. I suggest you get into
the habit of dialing in lower Treble settings. That way, you can program various MIDI
presets with different Bright settings and activate them remotely and have plenty of
tonal variations at your fingertips.
Determines the Clean channel's level. Use this knob to adjust the Clean channel's
volume and dial in the desired balance in comparison with the other channels' levels.
Because this knob is located pre effects loop, it also determines the effects send level in
Clean mode. The green LED to the right of the knob lights up to indicate the Clean
channel is on.
Determines the Crunch channel's level. Use this knob to adjust the Crunch channel's
volume and dial in the desired balance with the other channels' levels. Because this
knob is pre effects loop, it also determines the effects send level in Crunch mode. The
yellow LED to the right of the knob lights up to indicate the Crunch channel is on.
Sub channel selector button; selects Sub Channel I or II: Depending on the main
channel settings (11), it activates the or and the or
channels. When the LED above the button is off, or (Sub Channel I) is
active. When the LED lights up, or (Sub Channel II) is active. Distinctively
colored LEDs are located next to each channel's Volume knob. To make operation and
navigation easier for you, they light up to indicate which channel is currently active.
Channels may also be switched via MIDI program change, the ENGL Custom Z-9
Footswitch, or a dual footswitch.
Main channel selector button; selects main channel 1 or 2 and, depending on the sub
channel settings (12), activates Clean, Crunch, Lead I or Lead II channels. When the
LED above the button is off, main channel 1 ( or ) is active. When the LED
lights up, main channel 2 ( or ) is active.
Channels may also be switched via MIDI program change, the ENGL Custom Z-9
Footswitch, or a dual footswitch.
