At the back of the manual you'll find a folded page offering diagrams of the front and

rear panels. Please unfold and refer to it as you read through the descriptions of

features and functions!

Plug the mains cord in here. For European models, use a standard non-heating

equipment connector cable.

alongside

The rear chamber contains the mains fuse and in the front chamber, a spare fuse.

CAUTION: After an extended period of operation and higher ambient temperatures

the amps's chassis can become very hot, therefore avoid touching the rear panel

surface !

Mains Connector (

CAUTION: Make sure you use an intact mains line cord with a grounded plug!

Before you power the amp up, ensure the voltage value printed the mains

socket is the same as the current of the local power supply or wall outlet.

Please also heed the guidelines set forth in the separately included pamphlet,

32 Mains Fuse Box:

CAUTION: ALWAYS make sure replacement fuses are of the same type and have the

same ratings as the original fuse! Please refer to the fuse ratings table.

33 Footswitch: Serial Amp Control Port (S.A.C.)

31 AC Power Inlet; IEC - C14 connector)

This serial data input serves to control six of the amp's switching functions remotely. It

accepts the optional ENGL Z-9 Custom Footswitch as well as the optional ENGL Z11-

S.A.C. MIDI Switcher for use as a MIDI interface. Use a cord equipped with stereo 6.3

mm (¼") jack plugs to connect this input to the S.A.C. Out on the Z-9 Footswitch or Z11-

S.A.C. MIDI Switcher. The custom-designed Z-9 and the MIDI Switcher (in MIDI

interface mode) let you switch every amp feature designated as footswitchable in this

manual. You can configure the Z-9 Footswitch to control the four channels and two

further features directly. To learn if a given feature may be controlled remotely via the

Z-9, refer to its description herein. You'll find a configuration table showing the

Limited Edition's functions on page 26.

Heads up: Plugging a jack plug into the S.A.C. Port disables the Channel switching

functions controlled by the buttons (25, 26) arrayed on the amp's front panel. What's

more, it also disables the footswitch jacks' (36) remote-control capability. In other

words, when a Z-9 board is plugged in, it has priority over the amp's Channel switching

controls as well as Channel switching via a footswitch connected to jack (36).
