Zentara Overdrive
Legendary transparent overdrive boost with a huge dynamic range, unlimited gain, and soft-clipping germanium diodes. This pedal is as legendary as the many mythological creatures it is named after. But whatever form it takes, or whatever four-legged animal it represents, its popularity and mythical status among guitarists are undeniable. Introducing the ZENTARA OVERDRIVE from Behringer. The Zentara Myth The core of the ZENTARA OVERDRIVE's transparent circuit is a dual-potentiometer gain control—an enhanced version of the ZENTARA OVERDRIVE's transparent circuit control. The heart of the ZENTARA OVERDRIVE's transparent circuit is a dual-potentiometer gain control—an improved version of the original concentric gain control that makes it more reliable and precise. In other words, you can easily adjust your tone to get a completely clean signal or mix in more overdrive when you turn the knob all the way up.
Clean as a whistle or dirtily dirty
Another great feature of the ZENTARA OVERDRIVE is its natural ability to respond to picking dynamics. This is made possible by the pedal's large power reserve and high-quality germanium diodes. With the ZENTARA OVERDRIVE in your chain, you can dance lightly on the strings for a cleaner sound or really dig in to make your guitar and amp roar.
