Fireball is no exception. On that note, please read and heed the guidelines on handling all-tube amps. You'll find them on the last page of this manual. The ENGL team is convinced that the Fireball amp will delight and inspire you - just plug in your guitar and play! - Page 3 If your arsenal includes MIDI gear - for instance, the Z-11 ENGL MIDI Switcher in combination with a MIDI Footswitch (e.g ENGL Z-9, Z-12, Z-15) - you may use the amp's Master A/B circuit to swiftly and conveniently set the power amp's volume to two different levels, and then access these volume presets in combination with preamp voicing features such as Mid Boost.

Use this 1/4" Stereo jack to connect a conventional footswitch with two switching functions, for example, the ENGL Z-4 (2 x off/on - Single Pole Single Throw or SPST for short). This type of footswitch lets you access Mid Boost and FX Loop off/on. One of the two switches activates Mid Boost, while the the other activates the FX Loop. - Page 6 22 Noise Gate Threshold: A Tip from the Designer - continuation The most common source of noise is 50 Hz or 60 Hz (hertz/cycle) mains hum, particularly when the guitar is positioned near transformers and power units. Because in worst-case scenarios this humming can attain extremely high levels, the Noise Gate can hardly distinguish between the musical signal and noise.

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.
