Donner Arena 2000: Awesome Sounds and Features for a Ridiculously Low Price

[@rmax5150]

SOLD! I just purchased while watching this. Ive watched multiple reviews and this is the BEST one. The others seemed very hastily thrown together and didn't spend hardly any time really exploring the functionality. AWESOME REVIEW AND DEMO MY FRIEND! Thanks for taking the time to share this info!🤘

[@alexoi87]

Yo! How are you finding it? Can you answer a question for me? Can it do a wet out the left side output and dry signal out the right output?

[@bikersoncall]

A year later, fill us in on what great tones you're getting with it?

[@Texasbluesalley]

Crazy the tones and functionality you can get for under $300 these days. College me is very jealous.

[@CanisVampirim]

A few months behind the ball on my part. But you are the first review ive found that has mentioned that the arena can record clean and altered track at the same time. I was pulling my hair out trying to find out if it could. So thank you very much, sir.

[@I_still_use_winamp]

Got mine 2 days ago, never used one and understand it good now … awesome video and review and product

[@bikersoncall]

What can you tell us about it after 10 mos?

[@charliesox5397]

What I take from this is that there are getting to be some great choices in lower price gear and that makes me smile 🙂

[@TheDevlin252]

Thank you for your review of the Donner arena 2000. I recently purchased one I would love if you would do a full tutorial, especially how do I assign buttons, and how to access them easily when playing live. Thank you

[@KennethDonnellyStargazer21]

If you touch the effect label (on, off) you get instant access to it's settings

[@JamesBond-gk3nd]

@@KennethDonnellyStargazer21 Yes you can get instant horrible sounds.

[@dougmann66]

Awesome thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

hidden drum machine ..cool

[@nelsonsanchez3670]

Hi. How to adjust the Preset Volume Level. So that you finish a preset, then you want to level it with another preset, or make it higher for the solo??

[@mohamedzaini589]

Hi sir.. Can you show us the step to make the patches? Greetings from Singapore 🙏

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

ever tested the Mooer GE300?

[@HumbleHeartMinistry]

Thank you! You are the only review to answer the question I had about the expression pedal! Does it have a wa! Great review!

[@rocklandsally]

this or the valeton 200 ??? can the donner be used as an audio interface ? thanks in advance

[@joesatchton212]

Not bad Steve, but please - take a similar hard look at the VALETON GP200.

[@minkorrh]

Almost reminds you of listening to VH1 with that first tone!

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Donner keeps coming out with great stuff. I’m hoping to work with them once I hit 1K subscribers. Videos like this make me excited to hit that milestone.

[@johnnyrkramerthemusicmovie3147]

sounds good steve it looks like a nice pedal is it usb to nice stuff alot of stuff you can do with it kool

[@viniciusmoura9105]

This unit is already impressive for its connectivity capabilities alone, given its price tag.

[@DarkVanities]

woww, can it actually be recorder without the audio interface? is there an audio itnerface integrated into the arena 2000 or do I need necessarily an audio interface in order to record into my laptop or mobile phone? thank you for the demostration. ☺ i subscribed

[@RichardLuna2025]

I'm interested if it's as good as it sounds. Can you record drums with the looper? Does it take pedals?

[@johnpauldeguzman823]

could you do a vs with Flamma FX-200?

[@alissonzakka3]

Hi Bro! Thanks for the video. I bought the arena 2000 but the Softwere for windows the software for windows does not work, Would you help me? Do you have any information about? I use win 10, acer, 12gb ram, ssd, etc...

[@SFBGuitar]

I couldn't get it to work either, so maybe they need to update it to get it working. 🤷‍♂️

[@alissonzakka3]

@@SFBGuitar oh, thank u so much, My friend. Its possible to load into donner my own impulses?

[@cjamesbarnard]

So, how does this compare to the NUX MG-400?

[@strumlead8741]

Sounds like a great deal! However, turning on/off effects appears complicated. I would like to turn on/off boost, drive, delay, compression but it appears it can be assigned only to 3 effects within a patch.

[@MountatinMusic0]

I believe you can also assign an effect to the volume pedal so when pushed down on it, it will gradually engage what ever effect you had assigned to it.

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

that sounds good. Long Stick Goes Boom!

[@pageluvva]

Many thanks for this. I just ordered one, Should be here next week. I am excited. Here to say I bought this and have had it for a few months and it is FUN AS HELL!!!!!!! Endless tones too.

[@RaveXmusic]

That sounds awesome! Great full review. Have you tried the NUX MG30? Are they comparable?

[@isaacgp6062]

Yes, is best Arena 2000 bro

[@mr.astrophysics9115]

I'll stay with my electro harmonix Boss GT-8 and Fulltone MXR effects..

[@tjmaclean]

Thanks for the demo Steve! Just bought one earlier this month. I can't believe how good this is for the price - it's a no brainer. Just get it!

[@FrankSpeer66]

That's a great price, I've had a bunch of these floorboard units from different makers and none of them ever sound good directly into a PA

[@MarcCoteMusic]

It takes work... you really have to create your sounds through a PA if you're planning to use them that way. I use the Roland GT-1 and the Mooer GE200 and they really sound convincing. I've had piles of MFX units over the past 35 years, some analog, some digital, and digital definitely works differently. But it can be done.

[@isaacperez7136]

Go for the valeton gp200 amazon was doing a 60 dollar off on it..I paid 240 is for mine.

[@dr.franciscotorresmarquezc7352]

The only shit is that in a live situation you have to press two footswitches to up or down banks with your foot

[@albertcampos6835]

15:37

[@MarcCoteMusic]

The Roland GT-1 must be the first of all these 3 buttons / exp pedal units... and it's still great sounding. In fact, I have two of them, along with the Mooer GE200, which also sounds very good. Seven or eight years on from the Roland, I'm surprised I didn't like this Donner more... it sounds really thin. I guess the patches could be edited, but it was somewhat disappointing.

[@cesarnetwork8653]

Roland/Boss GT-1 é melhor tocando em linha?

[@MarcCoteMusic]

@@cesarnetwork8653 - I'm not certain what you mean by 'online' but it does have USB recording capability and acts as an audio interface. I've used it to record on many occasions.

[@cesarnetwork8653]

@@MarcCoteMusic I asked your opinion if you think the Roland Boss GT-1 sound much better than this Donner Arena 2000.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

@@cesarnetwork8653 - Oh! Yes, very definitely. Like all such devices, you need to work at creating your sounds rather than rely on presets, but the results I've achieved with the GT-1 are surprisingly good. I've used it at hundreds and hundreds of shows and continue to do so.

[@InfiniteRhombus]

thought the same thing

[@marybuster3142]

Talking about all this tech makes me want to retreat to some minimalist cabin with my dog, a case of Woodford Reserve, good reefer, a tube amp with a spring reverb tank and my snakehead with single pickup, 14k Wolfetone Telebitch bridge pickup. Peels paint off walls and has been known to raise great, dead bluesman from the dead. No shit. I'm fureal with it.

[@ravencole2740]

Do you know why they give you the option to lock the touch buttons? One word - cats.

[@jamdalf4343]

🤘

[@ShreddingFinn]

I might be a buyer at $99. At $300 there is a lot of competition.

[@SFBGuitar]

It's $229 on Amazon. Wasn't seeing much competition at that price. Models with similar functions were $100 more, in the low $300s.

[@GreenMeanie101]

Looks like you should be able to get $269.00 worth the FUN out of it.

[@SFBGuitar]

$229 right now on Amazon

[@strumlead8741]

That unit sounds kind of thin to me.

I own one of this, and yes it sounds thin, but I still havent explore it, maybe you can fix it some EQ

[@raykolcun752]

I am now kinda pissed about how much I spent on a Headrush Gigboard.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

Don't be ... the Gigboard should sound much better than this unit.

[@glenndavis6793]

Well money spent it's worth it a lot for a little

[@marybuster3142]

My 23 yr old Line 6 Pod 2 with the floorboard sounds a lot better than this through tubes or solid state

[@TheFoxcrusher]

No gig bag?, not a donner.

[@GLC-Strikers]

Steve, I think you are a wicked guitar player. But that unit did not sound good . That would be a hard pass for me. The functionality seems to be not very intuitive.The guitars they put out certainly draw my interest.

[@TheBbtlegit]

Exactly that unit sounds horrible.

[@JamesBond-gk3nd]

It is a child toy, drum and looper is ok, but amp and effect sounds are horrible, I have Korg Pandora which I bought 15 years ago or so, is better and more compact. It is pocketsize just only dont have a looper.

[@BrianMiller-mj4xb]

Don't listen to these KZbin scammers they are totally dishonest.and sell what ever they can

Meh, sounds kinda farty. Almost reminds me of late 90s digitech multieffects. I am unimpressed
