A tip from the designer: I suggest you get into the habit of using standby during short breaks. In this mode, current is not piped through the power tubes, so they don't get as hot (due to the lack of anode dissipation) and are spared considerable wear. The power amp is ready to run when you flip the Standby switch because the tubes are already warm and don't require time to heat up.

20 FOOTSWITCH: VOLUME A/B, SOUND SET A/B Use this 1/4" stereo jack to connect a conventional footswitch with two switching functions (for example, the ENGL Z-4, see page 15 for additional information) to Volume A Volume B 1. Switch between (Mono contact).
A tip from the designer: You can connect the following combinations of speakers or cabinets: -> An 8-ohm cabinet to the 8-ohm jack of each channel; -> A 16-ohm cabinet to the 16-ohm jack of each channel; -> Two 16-ohm cabinets connected in parallel to the 8-ohm jack of each channel; In theory, you could also connect two 8-ohm speakers or cabinets to each channel.
Running the amp at mains voltages exceeding the nominal mains input voltage over longer periods can also shorten component life. Replace tubes with selected tubes that satisfy ENGL selection criteria to forestall microphonic properties, undesirable noise and unbalanced power amp signals.

-> A tube, internal fuse or other component may be defective. Be sure to take the Power Amp 810 to an authorized service center. One channel is providing far less power than it should. -> A defective power tube triggered one of the fuses (the power tube fuse has blown). Once the corresponding power amp channel is activated via the Standby switch, the two LEDs LEFT Ch.
