This is a floor unit with an expression pedal; it also has 50 memory slots for loading third-party IRs and there are 278 effects onboard and a wide range of classic guitar tones from modern "on the radio" sounds to high energy blazing flourishes to majestic and soaring melodies.

I liked the customizable CTRL control mode, built-in EXP1 expression pedal, and using an external EXP2 expression pedal allows musicians to switch their tone library in seconds with just a tap of their foot. Compact control panels and simple navigation rules help get you around Arena fast and efficiently to build beautiful sounds easily.

The built-in Looper plays clips up to 60 seconds long and there are 40 different drum rhythms available. You can self-produce and play demos or perform live as a "one-man" band with the Arena2000 playing the entire backing track. A headphone output allows for music creation in all volume settings. Use a connected USB-C cable to connect to your mobile phone too. The possibilities are pretty incredible if you get into this new Donner system.

The Donner Arena2000 is available now and sells for $269 MSRP on https://www.Donnerdeal.com.
