Overall, the Donner Arena 2000 multi-effect guitar pedal offers a range of features and customization options that can be useful for bass guitar players as well as guitarists. With its amp simulations, multiple effects, and blend control, the pedal can help you to create a wide range of tones and textures for your bass guitar playing. Additionally, there were 138 onboard effects, which could either be used individually, or combined in a signal chain. It also came with 150 modifiable presets to play with in case you need some inspiration (or you just don’t want to build your own!).

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator & your body. Recommend using the power supply that is equipped with the Arena2000, because mismatches and noise may occur when using other power supplies. The processor has a 3.5” TFT color screen on the front panel that shows the effect modules and helps navigate through different parts of the pedal, such as tuner, looper, effects, amp and cab models, and more. However, the screen is not a touch screen which would have made everything so much easier when navigating or shaping your tone.The pressing force of the EXP1 pedal to switch On/Off state can be set on the “EXP CALIBRATION” screen. While holding down the front end of the pedal with appropriate force, press the Value Knob to confirm the force. The expression pedal was a nice touch, too. It had a good amount of resistance, but was still sensitive enough for a light touch, too. Do not store it in the following environments: Direct sunlight, high temperature, excessive humidity, excessive dust, and strong vibration. And although for overall sonic depth and dimension and playing dynamics, the Arena 2000 doesn’t touch upper-echelon units like the Fractal Axe-FX series, Neural DSP Quad Cortex or Line 6 Helix range – all units I’m more familiar with in studio use, at least – I wouldn’t expect that at this price. Arena2000 has Guitar In, Aux In, MIDI In, XLR L/R, and Unbalanced 1/4. A Cab Sim output option allows users to switch between the 1/4 output port and the XLR output port, which makes it handy for artists to perform live.

We’ve long been fans of Donner pedals at KGR. This is where the brand got their start, and where they’ve consistently built their best products, so when we heard about the Donner Arena 2000 Multi FX unit we were very intrigued to see if it would live up to their previously stellar FX reputation. Warning: If the pressing force is too light, the MAX position may trigger the On/Off switch by mistake. And fired up right out of the box, the Arena 2000 presents 50 factory-loaded banks with three presets each, which might be about as much as many new users need to be getting on with for a while anyway. By pressing the Footswitch A/B/C can switch three presets in the same bank, and the footswitch of the selected preset will light up in white.Press the EXP button and enter the “EXP CALIBRATION”, then determine the MIN and MAX positions as prompted on the screen. It must be calibrated before using the external EXP pedal. Passage du mode Preset au Mode CTL : une fois passer en mode CTL, c'est cette fonction qui domine. Alors que le bouton passe au vert (mode CTL), on doit appuyé une seconde fois sur ce même bouton pour repasser au mode PRESET pour sélectionner un autre bloc d'effets. C'est la misère. Cela aurait été plus facile d'avoir un forçage dans les SET pour rester en mode Preset ou CTL. Many guitarists have been looking to get on board with digital modeling and rig reduction using pedals, but have been limited by the price when it comes to the high end units, and the perceived quality of the cheaper products. Now Donner has come out with what we think is a fantastic little pedal at an incredible price. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Please turn off the power supply and pull out the power cord when the product is not in use for an extended period of time. Then, you need to enable Bluetooth and GPS (location) services. And finally, you need to use the app to connect to the pedal. You need to press the Bluetooth icon, and you should already see the pedal on the list. If you do not see the pedal on the list, you should make sure you made the first two steps properly. The brand first got famous for its guitar effect pedals with high quality and affordable prices before releasing different products like multi-effects processors, musical gear, and instruments. Today they have a wide range of products from guitars to amps and ukuleles to pianos.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Donner Arena 2000 is a great multi-fx pedal overall with its high range of effects, amp and cab simulations, great FVACM (Forward Analog Virtual Circuit Modeling) Technology for high realism, and decent extra features like a tuner, drum machine, and looper. The smartphone app make things much easier and faster for navigation and editing, so this is a huge plus for the pedal. Donner Arena 2000 Is Perfect For Whom? Je déplore la difficulté d'utiliser de concert DRUM et LOOP: Dans ce dernier cas, la boucle crée par une impulsion de 'début' et une un impulsion de 'Fin', est elle calée sur le tempo? C'est un peu la loterie de retomber dans la mesure.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1)this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The design has six footswitches, additional buttons for control, an expression pedal, and an overall volume knob, along with stomps for navigating through the banks.For the money, this really is an exceptional modeling pedal, but we do need to frame the performance review with the fact that it wasn’t the most intuitive unit, and the instructions were somewhat incomplete.
