Inspired by one of, if not the most revered guitar pedal of all time, Behringer’s Zentara is a transparent boost meets overdrive, loaded with soft-clipping Germanium diodes for massive dynamic range and glorious golden gain on tap. Ideal for everything from center-stage blues solos to rock riffs that ooze organic sustain.
Key Features
- Legendary overdrive with transparent “amp-like” tone, touch and feel
- Dual concentric gain knob with wide range for boost, overdrive and distortion
- All analogue circuitry with Germanium diodes for soft transitional clipping
- Stepped-up internal voltage provides huge dynamic range
- Treble control for custom-tailoring high frequencies
- Discrete buffered true bypass avoids high-frequency loss from long cable runs
- Robust housing with authentic vintage styling
- Runs on 9 V battery or Behringer PSU-SB DC power supply (not included)
Authentic circuitry
The Zentara’s Germanium diodes provide ‘soft clipping’, which helps preserve that natural amp-like response, while stepped-up internal voltage ensures a wide dynamic range, bringing depth and precision to every note.
At the heart of the Zentara’s transparent circuit is a dual potentiometer gain control, a tweak to the original design. The idea is to make it more reliable, precise, and gradual when cranked from clean to driven.
Clean boost to crunch – A truly versatile overdrive
The Zentara is versatile enough to use as a clean boost, full-tilt driven saturation, or a front-of-amp pusher for that sought-after organic breakup.
Just like its spiritual predecessor, this golden stompbox responds to your picking dynamics thanks to its high headroom and specially-selected diodes. Soften your attack for a clean-yet-confident response, or dig in to make your amp sing!
