ENGL Fireball 200 help

[HerbieTheRadDorklift]

So I'm all set for getting one, but I have a few questions about the footswitch.

For some bizarre reason it doesn't come with one (WTF?).

I want to use all the features, channel switch, mid boost, masters and switchable FX loop.

Which footswitch do I need, and how do I hook it up?

Cheers.

use 2 ENGL Z-4s. Or you can use any two, two-button switches that use a 1/4" jack.

Do you mean the Fireball 100?
I know there was a 60 watter and a 100 watt one.
I owned the 100 watt one. No Footswitch. Have to buy it separate and they are pricey.

think this might be the one used for it.............

I never used one.

Killer metal amp though for sure!

Err yeah the 100! Haha.

so I can just buy any 2 button footswitch? The ENGL ones are about £80 here....

I think as long as its the 9 pin or whatever is in the back of the ENGLS.
Ebay might be the best deal to get one.
Should be cheaper in Europe then here in the USA.
Hold on to your hat when you crank that Fireball 100 up!!

Its a monster.....

So it isn't just a regular jack? It has to be a MIDI one?

no, its a 1/4" jack, check the online manual to make sure before buying one

 

[HerbieTheRadDorklift]

Yeah I just did, looks fine.

I'll buy a cheapo Peavey one or something just to try it out

I ended up getting a Marshall Haze 2 button switch sent to me when I got the amp. It doesn't work. Any reason why?

If you have any mates with a DSL, you could ask to try theirs.
