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 effect loop, it also determines the effect send level in Crunch mode. The
yellow LED to the right of the knob lights up to indicate the Crunch channel is on.
Press this button to activate the preamp's Crunch channel directly. (in reciprocation

Volume knob (13) lights up to indicate the Crunch channel is active. The Crunch
channel may also be activated via MIDI program change, the ENGL Custom Z-9
Footswitch or a dual footswitch.

and can also be activated via MIDI program change or the ENGL
Custom Z-9 Footswitch.
When set to , the preamp's response is a touch less dynamic, with fewer
midrange frequencies in the mix. This voicing is particularly prominent when the
preamp stage ( , ) is overdriven, making the right choice for
heavier styles. Classic mode is the way to go for vintage tube tone. If you want your
lead lines to pack a mightier punch, I recommend that you activate in
Lead/Modern mode, or generally opt for Classic mode. When in Classic mode and at
higher Gain settings, deactivate for a more focused, tighter low end.
Though the difference in the two voicings is more subtle in the Clean channel, you will
notice that elicits a more dynamic response; this is attributable to the ECC 83
triode stage. The result is a slightly smoother, less edgy tone. Here's a hip
configuration for you: Set up your rig so that the preamp is right at the
cusp of clipping that is, the point where the clean signal begins to break up and
transition to a dirtier tone and turn up the Treble knob. In Classic mode, higher
frequencies are dampened - an effect known as soft clipping yielding a more
homogenous, balanced tone. You can achieve this kind of tone by dialing in higher
Gain knob settings for the Clean channel knobs or activating . The Crunch
channel also puts out mild, rock-approved grind: Activate and dial in lower
gain levels by setting somewhere in the 9 - 1 o'clock range.
When activated, this function boosts low-end frequencies in all four preamp channels.
