the knobs light up to indicate which Master knob is active the red LED for , the

green LED for . can also be switched via MIDI program change

or the ENGL .

Here's a nifty option: Use and to set two different power amp levels and

access these as you wish in tandem with the preamp's eight channel and Gain

combinations. You can easily program combinations of different ,

to and Low or High Gain (19) settings to different MIDI presets. Then you

can conveniently access these configurations on stage using a MIDI footboard (for

example, the ENGL Z-9, Z-12 or Z-15). This gives you many variations of the

fundamental sounds for different playing techniques and musical situations.

is your first choice for clean and even grittier rhythm and lead work. Take

advantage of the preamp saturation in Channels 2 to 4 for power chords and leads at

diverse gain and volume levels. Try working your guitar's volume knob to extend your

range of tones and musical expression. If a MIDI control unit and controller

commands are available (for example, the ENGL MIDI Footcontroller Z-15) you can

use the to silence the power amp quickly and conveniently for short

A tip from the designer:

35 Write/Copy

Press this button to store the modified setting of a programmable feature to a MIDI

memory slot (generally called a preset). Here's how to distinguish between and

: with the former you're actually programming or writing a new MIDI preset, with

the latter you're making an exact duplicate of an existing preset.

The system will select a Write operation whenever you edit a MIDI preset, that is, when

you have modified a programmable feature. You'll know that this is the case because

the Status LED flashes steadily when you edit one or several programmable features. If

you press the button and did not edit a MIDI preset, the system will select . This

means that the given preset becomes the source, and its contents are dumped to

another preset and stored there.

The system quits mode autonomously

if you do not select a new MIDI preset within about 30 seconds.

The preset programming process -- the Write command, that is -- is not carried out as

soon as you press the button. Pressing the button merely initiates the process. You

must hold it down for about a second until the Status LED flashes three times in rapid

succession. This mechanism is designed to prevent inadvertent programming. You can

cancel the programming process at any time before the Status LED first illuminates by

releasing the Write button. Again, the preset will only be programmed successfully if

you press and hold the button until the Status LED flashes three times.

When you press this button, the Status LED lights up

continuously to indicate is activated.

You'll have to go through a similar routine to copy a preset once you select a target

preset: When the Status LED extinguishes, the copy operation is underway and can no

longer be cancelled. The LED flashes three times to indicate the preset was copied

successfully. You can cancel the copy operation by releasing the key, but only for as

long as the LED lights up continuously.
