MAINS IN: Connect the factory-included mains cord to this socket. Ensure the amp's voltage rating matches your local AC voltage rating before you plug the cord into the wall socket. The mains fuse bracket is located next to this socket (see also Section 8.2). When replacing blown fuses, make sure you use specified replacement fuses only (see 7.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS).

RECORDING OUT: Analog stereo output for connecting the zenAmp to a mixing console for recording and live applications. The RECORDING OUT circuit sends a signal that has been processed using the amp’s integrated speaker simulation.

Note: The EFFECTS LOOP is located pre or in front of the RECORDING OUT bus. This means that if you have plugged an external effect device into the zenAmp, this device will affect the RECORDING OUT signal.

EFFECTS LOOP: Serial stereo/stereo insert for connecting external effect devices. In the signal chain, the EFFECTS LOOP is located pre or in front of the MASTER knob and RECORDING OUT.

Note: Bear in mind that the overall sound quality depends to a considerable extent on the quality of the external effect device because in a serial loop such as this, the entire signal is routed through the outboard device.

SEND: Connect this output to the input of your effect device. Unlike the RECORDING OUT bus, SEND jacks patch out signals without speaker simulation. This means that they may also be used as a line out for routing signals to external power amps.

Note: If you use an effect device that is equipped with merely a mono input, the entire stereo signal will be carried in mono. For this reason, we recommend that you use an external effect device sporting stereo inputs.

RETURN: Connect the outputs of your effects device to these jack. You can also use the RETURN jacks to connect an external signal source such as an audio playback device. However, keep in mind that in this case, the zenAmp's signal is muted. This means that if you patch in an external signal here, you can’t play along with it over the zenAmp.

HEADPHONES: Connect headphones to this jack. Like the RECORDING OUT bus, this circuit features speaker simulation.

Note that the internal loudspeakers are automatically disabled when you plug in headphones. Use the MASTER knob to adjust headphones volume.

STAGE BOARD: 9-pin port designed to take the optional

Hughes & Kettner Z-Board or the optional FS-5, a 5-way foot switch.

Note: This is not an interface for connecting a PC.

MIDI IN/OUT: Connect a standard MIDI board here. It also serves as the interface for loading software updates and creating backups for your presets.
