A Tip from the designer: If you want to control the amplifier via a MIDI system, use jacks 16, 17 and a looper or MIDI switcher (such as the ENGL Z-11). Use two stereo ¼" cords to connect the optionally available ENGL MIDI Switcher Z-11. You can then preset the four switching functions Clean/Lead, Gain Boost, M.V.B. - Page 5 21 Headphones: Connect stereo headphones rated for 8 to 32 ohms to this stereo jack.
