The ARP 2600 is one of the most revered synthesizers of all time and has been used consistently for over 50 years. It's a semi-modular, monophonic synth with three oscillators and built-in spring reverb, giving huge range of sonic possibility. It was released by ARP in several versions in the 1970s and latterly, both Korg and Behringer have re-released the design, demonstrating it's perennial quality and appeal.

The ARP 2600 is one of the most revered synthesizers of all time and has been used consistently for over 50 years. It's a semi-modular, monophonic synth with three oscillators and built-in spring reverb, giving huge range of sonic possibility. It was released by ARP in several versions in the 1970s and latterly, both Korg and Behringer have re-released the design, demonstrating it's perennial quality and appeal.

1971 - Model 2600 - The 'Blue Marvin' was the original version, with a bright blue fascia.

Mid-1971 - Model 2600C & Model 2600P - The various versions of the 'Grey Meanie' were a factory-produced update to the original, with a grey fascia.

1975 - Model 2601 v1.0 (grey fascia); Model 2601 v2.0 onwards (orange-on-black fascia). Production ceased in 1980 after approximately 3,000 units were made by ARP across all versions.
