The different options for controlling the Ritchie Blackmore signature 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 20 and another footswitch for
switching Master A/B and Contour via Jack 19. Functions: Clean/Lead, Gain Lo/Hi, Master A/B
and Contour. With this solution, you can't activate the channels Crunch and Heavy 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 control Clean/Lead, Gain Lo/Hi, Master A/B and Contour. If you
program the diverse switching configurations to different MIDI program locations (e.g. Gain Hi
& Lead & Master A & Contour activ), 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 (Clean & Lo Gain), Crunch (Clean &
Hi Gain), Soft Lead (Lead & Lo Gain), Heavy Lead (Lead & Hi Gain) as well as Master A/B and
Contour. This is a very convenient yet compact solution.
