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
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 controls 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!
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
page23).
Use this jack to connect a conventional footswitch with two switching functions, for

type of footswitch lets you access One of the two
switches activates , while the other selects the control (23) or
(24) in the Lead channels; it alters the mid range frequency response
during Clean and Crunch modes. Plugging a footswitch into this jack disables onboard
(28) switching.
