    When SONICAKE MATRIBOX 2 sounded, it was as if the guitar cab was covered with a blanket.

    Great review! That's what I was looking for! But I would also like an additional comparison with the Hotone Ampero Mini)

      The Ampero is superior Tone wise but has less options for the switching

    Great job as always mate, in your opinion, I am playing with a baritone in drop F with active emgs. I think the matribox is the best choice for palms and chugs in general, but i think arena it's also good and has a lot of feature, the app and so on. Which one you consider the besr for djent stuff?

      Only problem is I’ve not played a 250 or Ampero 1 only 300 and Mini
      Probably wouldn’t be right for me to advise
      I’d say both will be good the amp models in Ampero may be a touch nearer but I’m guessing

    good review and useful opinion, I just use sonicake disgusting ir impulses, both in the pedal emulator and in the processor they are disgustingly dull, just take a normal impulse and that’s it, you can make similar sounds. The functionality of the arena is better, it’s a pity there are no send return loops.

      Donner arena is awesome .Mic placement is a great feature. I own the donner but not the sonicake. I had a pod go as well. You can't go wrong whatever you chose.Just remember presets suck and you need to dive in and find your sounds.
