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 three channels. It also lets you 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
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 three channels
,
,
and
. Read
and
to mean switching
among channels arrayed at the top and bottom of the amp's front panel. One button
switches between the top (:
and ) or bottom (:
and
) channels, while the other activates
or (: the top
channels) and
or
(: the bottom channel). The
onboard channel switching facility, is disabled when you plug a footswitch into this
jack. The MIDI In port (43) and the Z-9 Port (46) are both disabled when a plug is
connected to 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 stereo jack plug's mono contact ( ) controls up
and down channel selection CH1 and CH2 or CH3-Lo and CH3-Hi, while the other
contact (
) accesses channels 1 or 2 and CH3-Lo or CH3-Hi. For details on wiring, see
Pin Assignments on page .
Use this knob to set a threshold value (that is, the noise level) at which the
activates to suppress the signal. The further you twist the knob to the right, the higher
the signal level at which the
kicks in. The
can be activated and
deactivated as required for
and
by pushing the front panel
button (17).
