Good quality, good price

Well made midi footswitch. "Does what it says on the tin" kinda thing. The phantom power via midi is a great feature if you pair it with an ENGL amp. Honestly this footswitch is better made than their amps. Heavy duty momentary switches, metal box, relatively small footprint. Only gripe is that bank 0, preset 0 do not work by design, that is kinda stupid. The power supply SHOULD be included however.

Excellent Midi Controller

Not great with technology so wanted a simple midi controller to use with my Engl Ironball SE. Doesnt get much simpler than this and allows me to use the amp to its full potential.

Would also add that this thing is built like a tank so should easily stand up to being used at regular gigs/rehearsals

Built like a tank

It does the job and is probably impossible to destroy.

A great footswith

High quality footswitch which probably survives a nuclear winter. I wish it had some kind of lights which tells you what channel you're on. Otherwise, a great product.

Gets job for ENGL Invader

Bought this foot-switch for my ENGL Invader and it works perfect.

I use it to control my amps four channel's, gain and brightness settings, FX loops and I'm able to switch anything with one switch stomp, so that's perfect for me.

Z12 has 0-9 preset banks and at first it might seem it should have 10 presets for each bank, however that's not true... 00 preset does not exist, so when you select bank - 0, switch nr: 0 does nothing... However that didn't gave me any difficulties using it efficiently (I try to avoid bank 0)!

I also use it on stage and don't have any difficulties using it, however I think if the stage was very dark I might ran to some issues... There could be LED indicators for each switch (which do not exist) since that would make easier to see when it's dark on stage...

The body is made from metal and I suppose it would be very hard to break it.

I would recommend Z12 over Z6 or Z15!
