2.3 CONTROL FEATURES
VOLUME
You can control the master volume level (and possibly the
pre-effect section channel volume, depending on the
model of amp that you own) using the VOLUME pedal.
Please consult the owner’s manual of your amp to learn
more about this option.
WAH WAH
The WAH WAH pedal can perform two functions:
1) It controls the wah-wah effect. Push the pedal all the
way down. The WAH WAH ON LED lights up to tell you the
wah-wah effect is activate.
2) In MODE 2, the pedal can also control an amp para-
meter that has been assigned to it, for example, gain,
bass, mid, treble, as well as effect parameters. (for more
info, see the section below entitled PEDAL ASSIGN).
WAH WAH ON LED
Lights up when the wah-wah effect is activate.
BANK UP
In Preset mode, it switches to the next higher sound bank
(=group of five presets), in MODE 2, to the next higher
preset.
BANK DOWN
in Preset mode, it switches to the next lower sound bank, in
MODE 2 to the next lower preset.
Note: When you use the Stageboard to switch sound banks,
it will either access a preset of the activated bank directly
or you must specifically activate the desired preset by
pressing the corresponding button 1/5...,5/10.
Please consult the owner’s manual of your amp to learn
more about this.
1/6 – 5/10 and PRE FX, MOD FX, DELAY, REVERB,
PEDAL ASSIGN
These buttons carry out two functions:
In Preset mode, buttons 1/6 - 5/10 serve to select a preset,
that is to say, to switch the desired preset of the activated
sound bank on. The red LEDs indicate the selected preset.
In MODE 2, the PRE FX, MOD FX, DELAY, and REVERB buttons
serve to switch effects off and on. The red LEDs indicate the
selected effects.
Note: Please consult the owner’s manual of your amp to
learn more about the available types and range of effects.
The PEDAL ASSIGN button performs a special function in
MODE 2. When it is activate (the red LED lights up), you can
assign various amp parameters such as gain, bass, mid,
treble, etc. or effect, parameters such as delay time,
chorus rate, reverb volume, etc. to the WAH WAH pedal.
All it takes to select a parameter is a slight twist of the cor-
responding knob on the amp. Assign it to the pedal by
pressing the PEDAL ASSIGN button again.
Note 1: The wah-wah effect must be switched off
(red WAH WAH ON LED does not light up) to do this.
Note 2: At the time of printing, the Hughes & Kettner zenTera
was the only amp that enables remote control of almost all
amp and effect parameters via Stageboard. Please consult
the owner’s manual of your amp to learn exactly which
options it supports.
MODE 2
Switches back and forth between Preset mode and
MODE 2 (effect mode). The red LED lights up when MODE 2
is activate.
DISPLAY
It shows the currently selected Preset or, when the Tuner
function is activated, the pitch of the plucked string. The
following table provides an overview of the notes that
appear in the display when you are tuning.

TAP TEMPO/TUNER
This button lets you determine delay time. Simply tap in the
desired delay time with your foot. The red LED will flash at
the tempo you determine.
Note: This of course will only work if you have activated a
delay effect.
To activate the TUNER function, press and hold the button
for a bit longer.
The note of the plucked string is indicated in the display.
The actual pitch for tuning is indicated by the LEDs above
the 1/6 - 5/10 buttons. When the 3/8 button’s red LED lights
up, the string is tuned to the proper pitch.
