CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU
FOR CHOOSING THE ZENTERA!
The zenTera®converges the most sought-after amps and effects in
the history of guitar amplification in an easy-to-handle, combo-sized
package. And it does it with mind-bending authenticity, delivering
an audio experience you won't soon forget.
The secret behind the zenTera
Modeling (DSM
components (sectors) in the original amps and we analyzed the
dynamic interaction between these sectors. One of the things we
found is that tone is a sum greater than its many parts and that it is
the musical quality of the individual component groups and their
dynamic reciprocation that make the difference. These findings
flowed into the making of digital models. Thus the zenTera
faithfully replicate each amp, the full sweep of its dynamic range, its
inherent sonic personality, and all its unique sound-shaping options.
Another example of the zenTera
24-bit A/D converter in its preamp section. Tweaked specifically for
processing guitar signals, it enables the zenTera
peaks of up to 116 decibels. This makes the zenTera
digital amp that is able to capture the full dynamic range of the
guitar. Until now this extraordinary dynamic range was solely the
domain of tube amps.
But that's not all: In the engine room of the zenTera
one but two of the latest-generation 32-bit floating point DSPs. Their
computing power is what translates the technology of DSM
soul-stirring, to-die-for tone. Furthermore, they guarantee that the
zenTera
bottom line is tone, and zenTera
dynamics galore and lively, utterly true responsiveness to your
attack.
In the zenTera
Each amp type's tone controls respond faithfully as if you were tweaking your tone on the original. This lets you dial in every sound swiftly
and intuitively just like you are accustomed to doing on analog
amps. But there's more cooking in the zenTera
smorgasbord of studio-quality effects, emulations of vintage stomp
boxes and a faithfully replicated spring reverb. These effects, just like
the amp's parameter controls, are intuitive to tweak, without the
nerve-racking tedium of stepping through menus. All settings may be
stored as presets in 128 slots (100 user presets + 28 factory sounds)
and called up via the front panel, footswitch or MIDI controllers.
With this array of user-friendly features, the zenTera
handles like a dream.
Packing a powerful punch, the zenTera
power amp is coupled with two Celestion Vintage 30 loudspeakers.
This combination cuts through the din at any stage volume and
enables you to make your musical statement under even
the most demanding conditions.
A built-in tuner, a TAP function that lets you sync up delay time, a
serial FX loop, an analog and digital recording output, a headphones jack and many other practical features give you the
remarkable level of convenience that you've come to expect
from Hughes & Kettner gear.

the amp on a stable platform where it is not exposed to
mechanical shocks and will not endanger the safety of anyone
nearby. Avoid temperature extremes and excessive humidity,
both of which can damage the amp and may cause an
electrical shock. - The manufacturer is not liable for any
damage to the amp due to improper use.
Important information! Note that the zenTera should not be
exposed to extreme cold over longer periods. Though unlikely, it
is possible that the internal battery will lose its charge. This battery
provides power to the system when it is switched off. Under
normal conditions, it is recharged when you power the amp up.

3.0 AMP MODELS AND EFFECTS
3.1 AMP MODELS
You can select from among eleven different models of amps herein called amp types - by rotating the zenTera
knob. Every amp type has a distinctive sonic personality that is
best suited for very specific styles of music. In addition to vintage
milestones that literally made amp history, the zenTera
emulations of some contemporary amps. In the following, we'll
take a quick look at each amp type.
BLACK FACE
This American beauty is the definitive amp for classic clean tone.
Although you'd be hard-pressed to drive it into the distortion zone, its big
sound and enormous punch left an indelible mark on several of styles of
music - it even helped shape certain playing techniques. This piece of
gear has won friends and influenced people far and wide, from funk
rhythm kings to jazz masters, from blues howlers to country pickers.
Note that the BRIGHT function found on the original is integrated into the
®
's GAIN knob. GAIN settings of up to 5.0 (12 o'clock position)
zenTera
elicit that characteristic treble boost of the original's BRIGHT switch. The
top end is not boosted at higher settings.
TWEED DELUXE
The kid brother of the big tweed amp, its raw, throaty textures are held
in high esteem by connoisseurs of vintage grit. A purist's dream come
true, its simple yet brilliant circuitry delivers earthy, fat tweed tone
unrivalled by any other amp.
On the downside, the original was equipped with just one tone knob, so
we elected to assign a sound-shaping functionality to the 3-band EQ
and the PRESENCE knob for this emulation. This gives you a lot more
musically meaningful tweaking options without sacrificing the tone that
makes this amp type so special.

TWEED 4 x 10
The ultimate vintage blues amp revered by almost all historic greats of
the genre, it still spells bliss for many a modern-day blues blaster. The
breadth and depth of its dynamic range and its fat, expressive lead
tone are what made it famous. From squeaky clean to a throaty growl
and all points in between, this amp puts meaning into the phrase "living
on blues power."
BRIT EL 84
The amp for classic guitar-driven pop and rock. Judging by the many
stellar songwriters who appear on its reference list, this amp would
undoubtedly be the hands-down winner in a poll of song-smiths.
Unarguably, its EL84-loaded, Class A power amp delivers the sweetest
harmonic distortion of all tube amps. And its flexible tone controls with
the legendary Cut and Top Boost circuits elicit chiming, sparkling
sounds as well as fat lead tone. Cranked wide open, it also delivers
gritty, roots rock-approved goods.
Note that the zenTera
The Top Boost circuit is integrated into the MID knob, which is handy
because this lets you dial smoothly rather than switch hard from
Normal to Top Boost mode.
PLEXI 50
This British EL34-powered classic made music history. Many a genredefining steel-string slinger wielded its considerable sonic clout to leave
an indelible mark on the face of modern music. With its hair-trigger
response, the PLEXI will do exactly what the position of your guitar's
volume knob tells it to. Turn the volume down low, and you get fat,
clean tone with shimmering top end. As you crank the knob, you can
hear that vintage rock roar unfold.
PLEXI 100
The PLEXI on steroids, this 100-watt sensation literally rocked the late '60s
and continued to dominate the heavy rock scene throughout the '70s
and well into the '80s. A staple of innumerable rock productions, this
amp's dynamic response made it the tool of choice for many an audio
alchemist. Indeed, it can be said with some authority that this beast's
big, cutting sound defined what great rock tone is all about. It will also
make you the object of fear and loathing in your neighborhood,
because you won't feel the full fury of its sonic assault until you crank it
to the hilt.
BRIT HI GAIN
A logical outgrowth of the razor-edged sound of British steel, this amp
delivers gear-grinding overdrive and meltdown lead sounds with truckloads of sustain and in-your-face punch. The tone controls are tweaked
to deliver the response of a modern-day boutique amp, adding many
shades and hues to your sonic palette. Less subtly, its scooped mids
elicit a merciless metal edge, while its over-the-top high end has been
rumored to peal paint at a hundred paces.
ULTRA GAIN
A zenTera
100-watt amp until it is hot enough to roast weenies. And, frankly, the
result is awe-inspiring - the fattest and most creamy lead sound
imaginable.
USA HI GAIN
This amp's peerless tone is the product of three rectifier tubes.
A real firecracker, it throws red-hot sparks of distortion for a fresh,
dynamic tone. With its fat, bad and downright angry overdrive, this
amp can take on many guises. Playing a key role in the rise of grunge
in the '90s, it has since become the tool of choice for New Metal
merchants. And with good reason, for few other amps can match its
intensity and depth of musical expression, particularly for soloing.

guitarists still consider a benchmark for this style.
3.2 EFFECTS
The zenTera®offers an arsenal stocked with hip yet practical
effects for which the gigging guitarist will find plenty of use. In
addition to standard reverb, delay and modulation effects, the
archive also features emulations of classic stomp boxes (e.g. fuzz)
and vintage effect devices (e.g. tape echo devices).
An excellent spring reverb simulation is also onboard.
To learn more about the amp's effects offerings, check out
Chapter 6.1, PRE EFFECT MODE, and the tables depicted under
heading 11.1 in the appendix.
4.0 STANDARD SETUP/CABLE CONNECTIONS
5.0 JACKS AND CONTROL FEATURES
5.1 OVERVIEW
The zenTera®'s user panel is essentially divided into two segments,
the amp section and the effect section.
amp sectioneffect section
The layout of the amp section should look familiar to you - it is
arranged much like that of an analog amp. The GAIN, BASS, MID,
TREBLE, PRESENCE and VOLUME knobs rotate to a far left and far
right position. You can dial in values of 0 to 10. Only the AMP TYPE
knob spins completely around.
The knobs of the selected amp type respond just like those on
the original model, which means that in this respect the zenTera
handles exactly like its analog forebears. In some cases, however,
it gives you additional tweaking options beyond those of the
original. This bit of icing on what was already a great cake is no
novelty feature. You'll find that the extra sound-shaping options
come in handy and that they make musical sense.
The effect section puts an array of delay, modulation and reverb
effects at your disposal. Here you'll find it easy to dial in
satisfactory sounds without a great deal of editing.
All effects can be switched PRE or POST preamp.

PRE is comparable to a stomp box that plugs into the front panel
input. The latter option taps into the stereo signal circuit located
before the power amp, giving you stereo effects.
5.2 THE ZENTERA®'S DISPLAY
The zenTera®'s display responds immediately to each handling
operation and menu change. It always indicates the parameter
that you are currently editing and jumps to the next display as
soon as you activate another knob or menu. There's one
exception - the amp's master level (as determined by the
MASTER knob on the far right) is independent of all other settings.
Note that the master volume is not indicated in the display.
In standard display mode, the zenTera

simulation as well as any effect blocks that you may have
activated. The following diagram should clear up any questions
you might have about what's what in the display.

Top text line: name of the preset
Bottom text line: selected amp type
PRESET: It lights up when the amp is in the standard display mode. The
bar below PRESET illuminates when you edit a preset's settings.
INS-FX: It lights up if one of the PRE effects is activated for this preset. If
you elect to use a wah-wah, the bar below INS-FX lights up as soon as
the wah-wah is activated via the connected pedal. The bar lights up in
the usual manner for the remaining PRE effects.
DELAY: It lights up when one of the delay effects is activated in the preset. If you choose to patch in the effect via the PRE circuit, the bar
below DELAY lights up.
MOD FX: It lights up when one of the modulation effects is activated in
the preset. If you choose to patch in the effect via the PRE circuit, the
bar below MOD FX lights up.
REVERB: It lights up when one of the reverb effects is activated in the
preset. If you choose to patch in the effect via the PRE circuit, the bar
below REVERB lights up.
When you edit one of the preset's parameters, say WBASS, you
will see the word BASS displayed in the lower text line and the
value indicated in the large numerical display. The bar below

6.3 TUNER
Activate the built-in tuning device by tapping rTUNER with your
fingertip. The term TUNER will appear in the first line of the display.
A large “+” appears when the string’s pitch is sharp (too high), a
“-“ when the pitch is flat (too low), and “OK” when the string is
tuned to pitch. You can also see this indicated in the chain of
lights at the bottom of the display.
Various values can appear in the second line.
Let’s take a look at these:
1) The selected center frequency of the reference note A is indi-
cated at the beginning of the line. You can adjust it within a
range of 435 to 445 hertz using PARA 1. This lets you calibrate
the TUNER should the need arise.
2) You can opt to mute the zenTera while you are tuning. Use
PARA 2 to preset the amp’s level for the duration of the tuning
procedure: M = muted, 1, 2 ,3 = three different levels. The
given setting appears in the display following the center frequency.
3) The pitch of the most recently played string is indicated at the
end of the second display line.

In order to be able to switch back and forth between two presets

7.2 MODE
This feature lets you adapt the zenTera®to a 2 x 12" or a 4x 12"
loudspeaker configuration. The first option is designed for the
zenTera’s internal speakers, the latter option is designed specifically for connecting an additional 4 x 12" cabinet. Note that this
circuit was fine-tuned using the Hughes & Kettner CC 412 as the
reference cabinet. This means that you’ll achieve the best sonic
results using this model of cabinet.

The difference is that in the first scenario any settings that you
made but did not store are reset. This means that the preset
reports back in its original stored state. In the latter case, these

zenTera’s presets.
PROGCHG ONLY: This is the default in Software 2.0. The zenTera
sends and processes MIDI program changes. Note that messages
are sent without bank select commands because these are irrelevant (for the time being, that is). More on this in the next section.
PROGCHG CC00 and CC32: MIDI program changes are sent with
bank select commands. Though this option is unnecessary at this
point, it will become very useful if and when a future software

8.0 MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The zenTera®does not require service of any type. There are
however a few basic rules that will extend the service life of your
amp enormously:
• Make sure all peripheral devices, cords and cables are in a
state of good repair! Defective speaker cables are the most
common cause of power amp failure. Poor-quality cables will
cause hum and undesirable noise.
• Ensure plenty of air can circulate around your amp's ventilation
ducts at all times.
• Definitely avoid exposure to mechanical shocks and extreme
heat, dust and particularly moisture.
• Be picky about the kind of peripheral devices you connect to
your amp and always check out their specs before you plug
them in. Never connect speaker cabinets with an ohm rating
lower than the zenTera
circumstances should you connect devices with high output
signal levels (e.g. power amps) to your amp's input.
• Be sure the AC power source delivers the current that your
amp is designed to handle before you plug it in. When in
doubt about the local rating, ask the venue's sound technician
or a stage hand.
• Refrain from DIY repairs! To be on the safe side, you should also
have a qualified technician replace internal fuses.
