Hughes and kettner zenTera Head

Looking for total flexibility, but refuse to compromise your ideas about sound? Then the zenTera® is your ticket to transcendental tone. As this amazing amp attests, we were able to turn years of tube amp design experience and powerful digital technology into an amp convincing enough to convert even true tube believers. Though few guitarists are likely to use 17 amps on stage, the ability to conjure the right sound at the right time and place is tremendously inspirational. It makes all the difference between mundane and divine performances. Three to four amp models and a handful of effects combinations figure in the average gigging setup. That’s all the tonal palette many players need to paint a varied sonic picture. But as practical as a streamlined setup is on stage, it’s hard to resist tapping the zenTera’s potential in the studio. 17 models of milestone amps and oodles of effectors await! Its strikingly authentic-sounding recording out even makes the often agonizing process of neighbor-friendly silent recording a gratifying experience. In contrast to conventional tube amps, which require unrewardingly loud levels to deliver prime tone, the zenTera® yields at low levels the buoyant dynamics of the originals cranked to the hilt. If paint-peeling volume is your thing, fear not for the amp is also a heavy hitter. Able so sing softly, it carries a big sonic stick that bats your musical message home across every playing field. Sporting a muscular 200-watt power amp, the two zenTera® models offer headroom galore. The zenTera® is a professional rig featuring a classic control panel. Built to handle intuitively, it affords easy access to standard functions and customizing options for every conceivable feature. This powerful tool lets you tailor the amp to your needs. No matter how far-out your sonic nirvana may be, the zenTera® has the sound-sculpting power it takes to get you there in style. Designed with the working guitarist in mind, the zenTera® is made for professionals seeking sound quality, reliability and long-term satisfaction in a definitive rig.
