You're the first one to really go into detail about basic things that people really need to know to run a new piece of equipment. Thank you for that
Thanks!
Totally agree and this is one of the best and more detailed reviews I've found; answering many of my questions. Can't beat it for the price.
Hi Scott, as always you do easy to understand videos for dinosaurs like me who grew up in the 80's when we had to carry HEAVY bass gear. I don't think people who are starting out these days how good they have it. It's a GREAT time to be a musician where you, Scott, have literally gone to a gig with JUST a modeling guitar. Crazy ! This is insanely cheap for what you get in return.
Yeah the tech is getting crazy and awesome!! I love it. Thanks man
Much thanks for the deep dive, really helpful!
Great video. This should be the model/template for every "review" tuber! In depth, over explained perfection. 👍
Thank you!
@@ScottUhlMusic Nice video! I've narrowed it down between this and the Zoom G6, have you had any experience with the Zoom G6 by chance?
I have had my eyes on this one lately, your review really helped out draw all the great details, thanks!
Pickles
Interesting! Oh...and I love Pickles!
Who doesn’t love pickles?? 😊
SUPER AWESOME VIDEO!! WOW!! I was between the NUX cerberu or the Mooer ge250... however this video really brought this one to the game... THanks a ton!!!!
Your videos are both informative and so entertaining! 10/10 on the editing.
Thanks! I’m glad to hear that… because the editing takes FOREVER haha
Absolutely the BEST REVIEW AND EXPLANATION FOR THE DONNER and I have watched at least 5!!!! You are great in taking a complex device and simplifying how to program it!!!!! Donner should use you for instructional videos!!!! LOL!!!! This particular video has sealed my purchase of this pedal!!!!! Many thanks and I subscribed because of you review!!!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the sub 🤘🤘
The DONNER ARENA 2000 with the DONNER DJP 1000 and the VOX VT 40 X is the absolut perfect Bundle for me and many other Guitarist's....🎸🎙🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵👍🤘❣️❣️❣️
I hadn't heard about this modeler yet. Thanks for the great review! Pickles!
Thanks for watching!
PICKLES!!!
Nice video as always, Scott. Thank you. :)
Thanks Jody!
I could follow this pretty well even though I’m a bit slow on the uptake. I’ll be looking more closely at the stomp now. I’ve been avoiding it simply so I won’t go broke. I’ve already got a UI16 that I’ll be trying to control guitar sounds with a line 6 fbv express but if I can’t make that work I’ve got a pod coming so we’ll see how that goes. If all else fails; some more line 6 stuff will be in my future.
You do terrific work on all of your tutorials and I thank you for the inspiration to try out different things!
Scott, excellent review and walkthrough, as usual!!! Love me some pickles!!!
Thanks man!
Great video! I just ordered one. Looks like it will do just about everything I need!
Nice!! Enjoy 🤘
Love your videos!...and pickles are my favorite food group!
Thanks! 😊
This is the best arena 2000 review I’ve seen on youtube! That’s it, you’ve convinced me to get one.
Thank you!
I've been researching these more affordable multi-effect pedals/amp simulators. For the past couple weeks they definitely are interesting for the price. Great video!
Thanks!
Hell, I'm over 70 and I can understand Scott!! Just bought mine this AM and I can't w8!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice! Enjoy!
Pickles! Thanks for the review Scott. Looking for an affordable multi effect pedal. This helps alot!
Glad to help!
PICKELS, pickels, pickels. Great Video and a great product. Keep them comming love your channel.
Thanks Chris!
Pickles
Very helpful review, so I am now a subscriber.
Thanks!
Very interesting and informative demo Scott! Pickles
Thanks!
Seems like a very fair deal for the money. Thank you for another great video Scott 😀
Sink the pickle boing
Thanks for watching!
Used your link to purchase one! Can't wait to get it -
Thanks Chris!!
Excellent review!
Thanks!
Great review! Thank you Scott. Been looking for a good-sounding backup rig for my Kemper. This might just fit the bill. Never know when you gonna need those pickles!
Hahaha thanks Scott!
Like the tutorials!!! PICKLES!!!
pickles pickles pickles + FXs the perfect combination!!!! I know this is past the time but oh well... I thought I'd just put it in here ahaha thanks again!!!
I have had this for a few months and honestly, for the price it is an easy 10/10. It is so much fun.
Nice! Glad you’ve been enjoying it
Great video! Thanks Scott. Pickles are green.
You’re welcome! And yes, yes they are 😊
Pickles. Looks surprisingly good! Donner killed it.
Yeah they did a great job with this one!
I love pickles!!!
Killer Donner Arena unit!!!
I ate ALL the pickles in the jar cause this review went so far! you did one of the Best reviews on this pedal and I watched almost ALL of them ! Well done👍
I love pickles! LOL This is right up my alley looks like a great price point for a great rig. Thanks for another great vid!
Thanks for watching!
I love pickles. I play bass, so looking at what this will do for that. I like having two channel direct out, so cool.
This is amazing! Wish best of luck for the giveaway everybody
Thanks!
Pickles! 🤘🏼 Awesome review!!
Thanks! 😁
That's ok I'll wait for the Dive Bar 762 1/2 :)
Great tutorial...I want some pickles😂
Very nice and thorough review, as always. From their homepage I got the impression it was a touch display, which would make certain tasks, like naming the presets, a little easier, but I guess they need to cut costs somewhere.
I am not in the US so I won't write the code word, just wanted to thank you for your video!
Thanks! I appreciate that! And yeah it did seem like it would be a touch screen. But the app makes it easy to use anyways, so it’s all good. Thanks for the comment!
Your reviews are always so thorough, I really enjoy them. A great plus is they include editors Is in all formats. I have an expensive pedal that was released 2 years ago and we are still waiting on an editor for it. FYI, I hate pickles!
Thanks! Although… how can you hate pickles?? 😋 😋😋
@@ScottUhlMusic always have although recently at one of my gigs were they feed me they make a sandwich that has really good pickles on it! First time in my life I've enjoyed pickles...
Half Sour Pickles are the best and so is this channel !
🤣🤣
Was thinking about trying this unit so... Pickles!
It’s a good one!
Another great video you did here. I played your video through my Bohm speaker so I could get a better idea of the tones. Impressive! The pedal Pickles my fancy!
Hahaha great use of the word Pickles! And yeah it sounds good to me 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Did you give this away yet? I haven't seen the video?
I did, yes. I do the drawing on my stories now. TH-cam, instagram, and Facebook. I do them on Monday after the video (so usually 6 days after the video comes out) and then I respond to the comment who won 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Sorry, didn't know that . I used to get notifications that you made a YTube of the give away. I don't know what "stories" are? I don't have Instagram....Thanks for the info.
Pickles, pickles, pickles, looks like a very nice affordable, paddleboard, well done, reviewing it
🥒 🥒 🥒
I love pickles and I love your channel
Hahahaha thank you!
I like pickles pickles pickles pickles. Your channel has helped me tremendously thanks!
Thanks!!
I just received the Donner unit! Might take a bit to get it sussed out for the stage (learning curves 🙄). Seems targeted to electric players and I use a clean acoustic sound for prob half my show. I think I can get there with IR’s (another learning curve!) but I got it for $215 so I’m gonna give it a good shot!
Yeah needs more flexibility on extra footswitches.
Interesting little unit. Very affordable for pickles pickle the piper
🤣🤣 love it!
You always have good videos and info.
Also, I eat pickles every night.
Hahaha thanks! I appreciate it :)
this looks a lot like the Valeton gp-100 with the smaller form, i've used the valeton gp-200 for about a year or so, and despite it being a "cheaper" pedal, it feels rock soled and sounds good enough
Anything about its looper and pitch capo effect?
Another great video... is the MIDI control similar to the HX Stomp? Send me one... Pickles are good too! I can eat my sandwich with pickles and program it at the same time!🤣🤣
Haha I already did the giveaway, but the midi control seems very useable for sure! Each fx is assigned to a CC which is awesome
Holy pickle shots! Looks rad for the price
🤘🤘🤘
I would definitely use this to plug my pickles directly to the PA
🤣🤣🤣
Great unit for 270 pickles!
Hahahahaha! Awesome!
Hi Scott,
Nice detailed review here. This device looks interesting.
Some inquiries:
- Can the Expression pedal be set as a Pitch Shifter?
Thanks! And it’s been a while since I reviewed this, so I don’t remember
- I wish they'd add a real harmonizer instead of just a pitch shifter.
- Also, those touch buttons would have been better if they were pushbuttons like those on the Boss GT-1.
- Lastly, it would be great if they allowed it to be used with AA/AAA batteries. Sometimes, getting power to certain parts of a stage isn't so easy.
Do You now how to actívate whammy effect?? Like Tom Morelo sound😢
Pickles!! Great multi fx. for the price.
Definitely well priced!
to be honest, i like big huge pickles, green green yum yum! & i would love this donner arena 2000!
You are entered! 🤘🤘
I wonder how this device would be on a bass. I'm quite impressed it's got XLR outs in stereo! Oh and pickles I hope I win.
Yeah, it’s definitely a nice system!
Terrific as usual. I’m guessing this would be a competitor to the HX Stomp?
Stomp is king in my book. This is a good budget option
...Pickles,my Brother!!!...on the side,East-Coast style...Peace...
🤘🤘
This looks like a good alternative to some of the other inexpensive modelers on the market. I use an HX Stomp and route 2 guitars through it - acoustic guitar through left channel and electric through right channel. Unfortunately this only has one input so I couldn't use it with my main band, however this would be great for my bands and gigs where I only need one type of guitar. And like others I wonder how it would handle bass. Like I said, a good alternative and backup if you're ever in a pickle.
Haha yup! Yeah you get multiple output controls but only one input for it
Interesting use with the HX stomp. (I play acoustic as well as electric too) I’ve been using the TC Helicon Play Electric (w/an A/B switch)for a long time. (I can not lose the vocal part!). Very easy for an old guy👍👍 and the sounds are passable. I recently stated using my Spark amp w/ Airstep to control because I think the sounds are better. BUT with the end goal of HX Stomp style box that has way more versatility. (Plus it’s small). The Donner has peaked my interest for sure even though it’s a bit too big for my set up. But the $$ is attractive as well.
Holy pickles! What was that solo from that you threw in there a couple times? I KNOW it, I just can't remember what song it was.
Home Sweet Home by Motley Crew. My go to “demo a lead tone” solo hahaha
Is this an amp aswell, would this work without the big amps, thanks
I thought you would use this pedal with the same brand Donner HUSH-I Headless Acoustic Electric Guitar. I would have liked to hear that.
I think the Hush is more meant for silent practice and portability, not as much for with this, but it’s definitely possible!
Does it have a detune/pitch shift ?
Very cool pedal. Seems similar to the Moore GE100 and Nux MG-30. And similarly priced. Would like to see your thoughts on those. Pickles! But even more interested in the Boss GT-1. Can find them used for $150 or new for $299
Nice! Yeah I’ve seen those as well and I’ve been interested in those too 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic I just scored one of these on ebay “used once” for $190!!! ($212 w/tax and shipping) I cant wait to try it out.
Just had mine today thanks for the video think i might need to go over this a few times.
one question do you loose the original preset if you alter it and store it or does it create a new one , thanks in advance.
I can’t remember about that tbh.
@@ScottUhlMusic ok cheers
@@ScottUhlMusic Hi! If you change the preset but didn`t save it, next time it will restore the default preset .
That was the reply off donner just for info for you hope that is ok
Hey Scott! How did you get the Donner Control software to recognize the device? When I plug mine in to my PC it says "Disconnected" in the top right corner of the software. I've tried redownloading and installing, different USB ports, different cables, etc. It all just says "disconnected". I have some IR's that I want to import but can't because the software doesn't recognize that the Arena is plugged in.
If you have any suggestions or help to get it connected and working it'd be much appreciated!
Thanks!
I’m not sure why yours would do that, mine worked fine!
So I have one of these and I haven't really seen any area 2000 vs any other modeler videos even though I have looked. Might be something you'd want to do? In your honest opinion is this even in the same ball park with your HX stomp? I've been considering upgrading and I use the midi for doing all my changes so whatever I get has to have that.
I love Helix and Quad Cortex more, but you also pay for that. This one is great at the price point
So you can set the expression pedal to be volume pedal in first function when light off, and wah pedal in second function when light is on? Just want to make sure, because going from volume to wah is what I most often would want to use.
I believe so, it’s been a while since I made this video, but that sounds correct. I’m not 100% though
@@ScottUhlMusicThank you for responding!
I might be wrong but I don't think you did mention in this video that there's also a drum machine with different styles of drumming in the Donner Arena 2000, so you can practice your guitar playing and the looper (that you mentioned) is a plus for that too.
I mention the drum machine in it, but yeah that’s definitely a great feature 👍
Hi, Scott. Love your channel, appreciate for your reviews. I have a question and I think only you can help me. I have on electronic drums in my home studio, and I want it connected wireless to my mixing desk. I tried Lekato WS-60 - it's ok, but it has 14ms of delay, and it's very noticable for the drummer. I tried Lekato WS-70, it has superb low latency, but it limits the attack of drums, and it sounds woosh-woosh instead of tich-tich. Can you recomend some budget wireless system that has low latency, and don't have this "limitter" on the input, please. Do you have any experience in such a thing?
For budget ones I would say these: th-cam.com/video/DSqdd--06hQ/w-d-xo.html
Or these: th-cam.com/video/FtI8tnW5TeU/w-d-xo.html
Funny question, can you use this also as a bluetooth page turner? Is there a guitar pedal that will do both?
I do not believe so
Wonder can I hook an acoustic guitar into this and use it as a looper 🤔🤔
I'd like to check this gear out.. I'm currently lugging around A Princeton Reverb, IEM system, 2 Guitars and A pedalboard the size of a decent piano.. maybe this would help me out.... so now the Pickles...
I actually sold all my amps since I just go direct now. I love it
@@ScottUhlMusic Sweet. Before my Princeton i was hauling the Fender twin reverb… and man was that a drag.. specially if we had a gig on the 2nd floor.
did they add more features on the extra footswitch?
I haven’t checked on the device since I reviewed it, so I’m not sure
These pickles are making me thirsty!
🤣🤣
Does this support parallel path/dual amp chains?
No it does not
Are there any good 3rd party IRs that sound well with the Arena 2000?
I’ve always liked OwnHammer for IRs
I forgot to ask: how is the sound quality on the Donner? I’m hearing it through my iPad so not sure how it really sounds.
Thanks
Definitely listen on nicer speakers if you can for tone stuff. But it sounds good for the price. I prefer helix or quad cortex, but they are much more expensive
Is there a direct box function?
You can always plug into a direct box if you need to
I've looked into this pedal some. I'm primarily a bass player, so I'm curious how this would sound with bass. But I also play guitar, so... pickles.
I would be curious how it sounded with bass too, but I bet it sounds good 🤘
How activate whammy effect? (Like tom morello style)😢
I’m not sure with this one… it’s been a while since I went through this video, but if it has a pitch shift and can be assigned to the pedal, it should work 👍
I get so frustrated that the stomp doesn't have xlr out, and for half the price donner does it AND gives you separate control knobs.
Also, pickles.
It’s a really good deal for sure!
How does this compare to to Mooer GE 200?
I haven’t used that one, so I’m not sure
I did a system reset because i messed up a preset BUT most of the preset titles changed and i lost 14 presets weird from 37 to 50 ahhhhh
That’s odd for sure
Great review, looks like they have done a pretty good job on the GUI, very bare bones but for the money it does the job. I would say all the tones were pretty middle of the road, you certainly get all of the features required.
I think I will hold off as I am waiting for the new IK Multimedia Tonex pedal, looking forward to your review when that comes out, I think it drops Feb.16 th.
I’ll have to look into that one, I don’t have a review planned for that one, but I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Is there any advantage (resource wise or any other way) to make a habit out of bouncing events into a single event. Always wondered about this. thanks
Bouncing events? What do you mean?
@ScottUhlMusic in Studio One, if you highlight any two or more adjacent events in the same track and do a bounce command, these individual events will combine into a single event.
I would love to win this MutiFX processor, I might even turn my self into a pickle for it
🤣 you are now entered!
Can this be used with a keyboard rig / DAW?
You can go into it 1/4” with whatever you would like 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks so much for your prompt response. Great review of the product. Wishing you a wonderful and healthy 2024.
Had to take a break from playing to open a jar of pickles for my girlfriend. Really.... pickles!
Hahahahaha 🤣
This is the comment where I confess. It was me, I murdered Mr. Pickle in the shred shed with a DS-1. PICKLES!!+
🤣🤣
Klaussen Pickles, dude.
Pickles is what came to mind for a code word :)
Bummer late for pickles
I like it but it’s only for USA 😢
Pickles? Lol. It's high time everyone starts using USB-C! Donner got that right.
I’m glad most things I review have moved to USB C now!
