The Lead I and Lead II channels are equipped with dedicated Treble knobs so you can

tweak the top end of each of these two channels separately to suit your taste. Though

this passive voicing section's controls range is narrower than that of a comparable

active system, its EQ curve is tweaked specifically for its designated purpose, and will

give you satisfying results. What's more, in combination with the two sound-shaping

buttons

and

sounds to taste.

shapes midrange frequencies for Main Channel 2's Lead I and Lead II modes.

When activated, Contour boosts low mids from 300 to 600 hertz as well as the

frequency at 1500 hertz. Note that the Contour setting influences the functionality

and range of the Mid knob (23). The LED above the button lights up to indicate

is activated. This feature may also be switched via MIDI program change or

the ENGL Custom Z-9 Footswitch.

Though this voicing section is passive and its control range is therefore somewhat

narrower, with

and

you have two additional tools available for

shaping the midrange. And for good reason music is made in the mids, and these

frequencies are critical to dialing in happening lead tones. You can employ

to

scoop mids radically and conjure rabid heavy metal tones or boost them to elicit

assertive lead sounds.

This sound-shaping tool addresses midrange frequencies by slightly lowering the Mid

knob's frequency spectrum. The LED above the button lights up to indicate

activated. This feature can also be switched via MIDI program change or the ENGL

Custom Z-9 Footswitch.

soundscape is rather subtle. Technically speaking, it actually re-voices the Mid knob.

thins out the lead tones' midrange, creating a more brittle tone. This

brand of tone is better suited for rhythm work because it is not as aggressive or overly

assertive. Different combinations of

variants in Main Channel 2, and these variations can be programmed, stored and

volume and dial in the desired balance in comparison with the other channels' levels.

Because this knob is located pre effect loop, it also determines the effect send level in

Lead I mode. The red LED to the right of the knob lights up to indicate the Lead I
