The original ARP 2600 semi-modular synthesizer became an instant hit and was quickly adopted by lots of renowned musicians including Pete Townshend, Herbie Hancock and Jean-Michel Jarre, to name a few. Soon after the first models were released, ARP made a bright blue version of Model 2600 called the “Blue Marvin”, named after ARP CFO Marvin Cohen. Then, in mid-1971, the blue face plate was replaced with a gray plate, and this new unit was nicknamed the “Gray Meanie.”

Meet the Behringer 2600 GRAY MEANIE, a limited edition, affordable and feature-packed homage to the iconic ARP 2600 synthesizer.

Compared to the original Behringer 2600, the GRAY MEANIE features a mechanical spring reverb, hand-picked components, uni-colour LEDs on each fader plus a slick paint job that’ll make your setup pop! The pure-analog signal path is based on the authentic ARP 2600 circuitry from the 70s with matched transistors and JFETs. Own a Gray Meanie today.
