278 effects, 80 amp models, 50 cabinet impulse response models, a built-in looper and much, much more
If you’re looking for “a serious modeling guitar processor that’s not only a huge bang for your buck, but incredibly powerful,” as Guitar World Tech Editor Paul Riario puts it, look no further than the new Donner Arena2000 Multi-effect Processor.
The professional unit,” Paul continues, “boasts daring tones and a total of 278 effects – wow. There’s also flexible multi-function operation, so all you need to do is concentrate on playing.”
In addition to those 278 effects, you get 80 amp models, 50 cabinet impulse response models and 50 slots for loading third-party impulse responses.
What else do you get with the Arena2000? A 23.2ms IR sample length, a built-in looper that supports up to 60 seconds of music and 40 different drum rhythms, and a customized CTRL control mode, built-in EXP1 expression pedal, and external EXP2 expression pedal. You can also fine-tune the tone parameters via computer and mobile smart app.

What’s more, the processor features Donner's FVACM – otherwise known as Forward Analog Virtual Circuit Modeling tone generating technology – which features 24bit/44.1kHz audio processing. “In other words, it makes it sound real authentic and tube-like,” Paul says.
To hear just how authentic and tube-like, you can watch Paul put the Arena2000 through its paces in the demo video above.
“The ultra-compact Donner Arena2000 Multi-effect Processor offers a multitude of high-fidelity amps and effects, along with a looper and a built-in drum machine jam-packed in an easy-to-use interface, making it a must-have for practice, recording and live performance,” Paul says.
