It has built-in amp modeling and speaker-box modeling, so whether you're playing through a guitar amp, PA system, HiFi system or headphones, you'll get noise-free, high-quality sound quality galore. Donner Arena 2000 can also be used as an audio interface when recording guitar through a DAW (digital audio workstation) on your PC or MAC in a studio, and is fully compatible with both platforms. You also get access to an excellent editing program that you can download for free from Donner's website, where you can edit your settings on the Arena 2000 and regularly find firmware updates and download new sounds. Many practical and inspiring features As well as sounding great and being easy to transport and use, the Donner Arena 2000 is also full of features that make practicing or composing easier, more fun and more inspiring. It has a built-in looper that allows you to record up to 60 seconds of your guitar playing and then either play over it or record something new on top of it. It's a fun and very useful feature in many contexts. You can use it to record a rhythm guitar that you can then practice a solo over, or play a melody to. You can use the loop to test, for example, whether two guitar tracks fit together, which is now possible even if you're alone. You can also use it live if you have the energy and vision to do so. It can be quite impressive. I'm sure you can also find many other fun and useful ways to use the loop. There is also a built-in drum machine that gives you 60 different drum rhythms that you can practice to or use when recording. It's much more fun to practice to a drum rhythm than to the usual click sound of an old-fashioned metronome. What is modeling, and is it any good? Modeling is really just taking the sound of an original and well-known guitar amplifier and copying it to a digital sound in a multi-effects unit like the Arena 2000. The question of whether modeling is as good as a good old-fashioned guitar amp or effects unit has been the subject of endless discussion since modeling became known, and we won't be the ones to claim one or the other. BUT, modeling has gotten incredibly better in recent years, so you have to have a lot of experience to really hear and feel the difference between a guitar amp and a good multi-effects unit with built-in modeled amps. Digital multi-effects are often criticized for producing a dull and lifeless sound, but Donner has developed a technology they call FVACM (Forward Virtual Analog Circuit Modeling), which makes the experience of playing through an Arena 2000 authentic and makes it feel like playing through a real amplifier with physical speaker boxes and effects pedals attached. You have to try an Arena 2000 to really feel and hear what we mean. All the essentials are available with an Arena 2000 Most guitarists get all the essentials with an Arena 2000, but if you need more you can easily expand and connect. For example, you can connect an external control if you need more foot pedals when playing live, and you can also connect an extra expression pedal if you need it. There's also a MIDI input for use with other MIDI-compatible devices. You can also expand the sound repertoire in Arena 2000 by downloading new effects or popular Impulse Responses - either for free from Donner's website or from other vendors' websites. If you're not familiar with IR, these are finished sounds that other people have created and share with each other. In most cases, it's other guitarists like you who create them, but in some cases you can also find some that professional, famous guitarists have created. In other words, another person has tried to recreate their own signature sound on an Arena 2000 and then made that sound available to others. This way, we all get the opportunity to try playing with the sound of our favorite guitar heroes' signature sounds.
