Donner Arena 2000 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

If you’re looking for an all-in-one rig that can handle anything from home practice to live gigs and recording sessions — and still fit neatly on your pedalboard — the Donner Arena 2000 might just be your new best mate. This isn’t just another multi-effects box. It’s a seriously feature-packed tone station with amp modelling, cabinet IRs, effects, looper, rhythm section, and a whole lot more under the hood.

Let’s start with tone. You’ve got 80 amp models, 50 onboard cabinet IRs, and 50 user IR slots, so you can load in your favourite cabs and shape your sound to match your exact vibe — whether you’re going for vintage warmth, boutique clarity or high-gain punch. With 278 effects onboard, including modulation, delay, reverb, pitch, filter and beyond, you’ve got more than enough tools to sculpt your signature tone. And yes — it’s all 24-bit quality with a smart signal path, so things stay clean and expressive even when stacked.

For the players who like to jam and loop, the Arena 2000 features a built-in 60-second looper with overdub, half-speed, double-speed and reverse options. Pair that with a built-in drum machine packed with 40 rhythm patterns and you’ve got a full songwriting and practice station, right there on your board.

Connectivity is a big win here. You’ve got balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼" outputs, making it easy to run to front-of-house or an amp. There’s also a USB-C port for direct audio recording, firmware updates and preset management, plus a headphone out, aux in, expression pedal input, and MIDI in. It’s perfect for DAW recording, silent practice, or running a full rig direct to PA with no amp in sight.

The layout is sleek and usable: large screen, touch controls, sturdy footswitches, and a solid expression pedal for wah, volume, pitch shifting or effect morphing in real time. And with 150 preset slots, you can dial in tones for every genre, gig, or moment of inspiration — then recall them instantly.

The Arena 2000 is perfect for guitarists who want serious sound-shaping power without needing five other pedals and a spreadsheet. Whether you're gigging around Ireland, recording at home, or just exploring new sonic territories, this unit offers pro-level flexibility in a tidy, rugged box.
