TheCustom Z-9Footswitch wasdesigned with thenon-MIDIguitarist inmind.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 four channels and As an
alternative tothe option, youcan opt to control any other switchable
preamp functions, for example , , etc. Another tremendous
benefit of this microcontroller-driven foot board is that it connects to the amp via an
easilyobtained,standardstereocord.Butthat'snotthelastoftheZ-9'sadvantages:At

wantto emphasizethatyoushouldneverconnectanotherfootboardtothisjack:The
Z-9 controls the preamp via a proprietary ENGL serial data protocol, and the Serial
Amp Control Port wasdeveloped exclusively for ENGL amps. No otherfoot boardwill

Use this jack to connect a conventional footswitch with two switching functions (for
example,theENGL Z-4) thatletyouaccessthefourchannels , , and
. One of the two switches activates Main Channel 1 and 2, while the other
activates theselected Main Channel'stwo subordinate channels, and or
and , as the case may be. The onboard channel switching facility, to
include switching,isdisabledwhenyouplugafootswitchintothisjack.
A footswitch may be equipped with LEDs indicating the given switching
status. Each of the two switches is provided with 15 milliamperes current, which
sufficestopowerastandardLED.
The jack's mono terminal selects the Main Channel, while the stereo terminal selects
the sub channel (refer to Pin Assignments on page 30).
