The different options for controlling the Powerball amp remotely:
1. Two-way footswitch (e.g. ENGL Z-4): Connect it to the amp via a stereo ¼" cord. You will
need one two-way footswitch for switching channels via Jack 36 and another footswitch for
switching Master A/B and Style via Jack 35. Functions: Ch I/II, Gain Lo/Hi, Master A/B
and Style open/focused. With this solution, you can't activate the channels Crunch and
Hi Lead directly, i.e. this requires an intermediate switching operation.
2. MIDI-Switcher (e.g. ENGL Z-11): Connect the unit to the amp via two stereo ¼" cords.
The buttons on the Switcher controls Ch I/II, Gain Lo/Hi, Master A/B and Style. If you
program the diverse switching configurations to different MIDI program locations
(e.g. Hi Lead & Master A & Style "open" to MIDI program number 1), you can activate
the desired configuration directly via a MIDI board (e.g. ENGL Z-12).
This type of control option is extremely versatile, we recommend it highly if you intend
to use the amp in conjunction with a MIDI system (e.g. MIDI effects devices).
3. ENGL Custom Footswitch Z-5: Connect it to the "Custom Footswitch Port" port via a
9-pin computer cable. Functions: Direct access to Clean (Ch I & Lo Gain), Crunch (Ch I &
Hi Gain), Lo Lead (Ch II & Lo Gain), Hi Lead (Ch II & Hi Gain) as well as Master A/B and
Style. This is a very convenient yet compact solution.
