CAUTION:
Insert and remove the Z-9's (S.A.C.) cable to and from the S.A.C. Port only when the
amp is switched off!
Please note:
A tip from the designer:
Connect only the ENGL Z-9 Footswitch or the ENGL Z11-S.A.C. MIDI
Switcher (S.A.C. Out) to this 6.3 mm (¼") stereo jack! Connecting any other switching
device may damage it and/or the amp's circuitry!
Never link two S.A.C. Ports of ENGL amps via an Y-adaptor to a Z-9
Custom Footswitch; this can cause ground humming noise and damage the internal
circuits!
Try out the ENGL Z-9 Custom Footswitch – chances are you'll love the remote-control
convenience. Based on a rather clever switching concept, it affords direct access to the
four preamp modes (preamp channels) Clean, Crunch, Lead Ch 3, and Lead Ch 4.
Alongside selecting channels, you can opt to control any other two switchable amp
functions such as and or and , and so
forth.
Another tremendous benefit of this microcontroller-driven footboard 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 using the ENGL Z11-S.A.C. MIDI Switcher. This won't render the Z-9
obsolete because it also serves as a simple MIDI footboard 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 footboard to this jack: The Z-9 and
the Z11-S.A.C. control the amp via a proprietary ENGL serial data protocol, and the
Serial Amp Control Port was developed exclusively for ENGL amps. No other footboard
will work and in fact is likely to damage the footboard or the amp's circuitry!
You can use the ENGL Z11-S.A.C. MIDI Switcher to integrate the amp straight into a
MIDI system. You can also opt to control two amps in parallel using the Z11-S.A.C.
MIDI Switcher and MIDI commands. The Z11-S.A.C. Switcher is equipped with six
switching loops (accessed via three stereo jacks) and the S.A.C. Out (stereo jack) for
precisely this purpose!

Use this jack to connect a conventional footswitch with two switching functions, for
example, the ENGL Z-4 (2 x off/on - Single Pole Single Throw or SPST for short). This
type of footswitch lets you access One of the
two switches enables or bypasses , while the other switches the Noise Gate on
and off (Lead mode only).
Note also: A footswitch may be equipped with LEDs indicating the given switching
status. Each of the two switches is provided with approx. 10 milliamperes current,
which suffices to power a standard LED. The jack's mono terminal controls
, while the stereo terminal controls on (for pin assignments, see
page ).
