Depending on Gain knob and Gain option (19) settings, Channel 3's gain ranges from
middling to extreme, which translates to big power chords and mean leads. Beyond
that, Channel 3's hip new Mid Control Matrix, with its four Mid knobs and tremendous
leeway in sound-sculpting, gives you even more options. In combination with the two
Lo and Hi Gain settings, you can tweak your settings to suit diverse styles and
conveniently call up the various sounds on the fly via MIDI. With all this, Channel 3
affords you remarkable freedom for shaping sound creatively and conveniently.
Extremely high gain and volume levels in Channel 3 can produce powerful
feedback. Avoid feedback squeals; they can lead to hearing loss and damage
speakers! At higher volumes, back off the Gain, Treble and Presence levels in order to
prevent unchecked feedback!
Mid knob #1 in preamp Channel 3's passive voicing section shapes the low mids. The
Tone button (1) setting subtly influences the Lo Mid 1 circuit's frequency range and
bandwidth.
This control switches between the two Mid knobs Lo Mid 1 (22) and Lo Mid 2 (24).
The LED to the right of each Lo Mid knob lights up to indicate this knob is activated.
The Lo Mid 1/2 switching function can also be switched via MIDI program change,
MIDI Controller #23, or the ENGL Z-9 Custom Footswitch.
CAUTION:
Pressing this button ups input sensitivity, thereby increasing the amplification factor
and the amount of distortion in all three preamp channels , and . The LED
above this button lights up to indicate is active. This feature can also be
switched via MIDI program change, or Custom Z-9 Footswitch.
Obviously, the difference between Lo and High Gain is the latter gives you more
preamp juice. But I also tuned frequency response to suit each channel's gain structure,
which is a long-winded way of saying the three channels give you six great sonic
choices. Depending on the selected channel and Gain knob setting, the spectrum
ranges from pristine clean to ultra saturated lead tone, rich in overtones and gain
reserves for screaming solos and crashing power chords. Whatever tones your style,
genre and whims may demand, you'll find it between these two extremes. The options
are too numerous to mention, so switch back and forth between Lo and High Gain in
each of the three channels to get to know their tonal characteristics and make the
most of these eight fundamental sounds.
Gain control for Channel 3. This knob determines Channel 3's input sensitivity; use it to
dial in the desired amount of saturation level.
