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.

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® indicates the name of the preset, the number of its memory slot, the name of the amp 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.

amp section effect 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.

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 pre- set. 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 PRESET will light up.
