"ARP 2600 synthesizer in exceptional, 100% original condition and in good working order with the optional, duophonic 3620 keyboard! This is the grandaddy of synths, with three VCOs, a 24 dB/oct filter, one ADSR envelope, one VCA and one mixer section, an envelope follower, ring modulator, noise generator, LFO with sample and hold, built-in spring reverb and a pre-amplifier with stereo speakers. All features have been tested and function as they should with the included keyboard controller. Used by everyone from Joy Division to Nine Inch Nails, the 2600 is legendary and can be found on an incredible number of landmark recordings. An ARP 2600 was even used to create the sounds for R2-D2 for the original Star Wars trilogy!

This particular 2600 is Version 4.0 made only briefly in 1974 and one of the last to include the model 4012 filter, which was discontinued in ARP products just two short years later due to the fact that it was virtually identical to the filter used in the best MOOG products of the day. The 2600 versions 1-4 are virtually identical except for the fact that versions 3-4 utilized more reliable VCO chips and a more rugged enclosure. Versions 3-4 can be noted by the G clef ARP logo, still remarkably clean and intact on the outside of the gray tolexed case (photo #6). Cosmetically, this 2600 is remarkably clean. The photos simply don't due this beauty justice! With the exception of a couple small tears in the tolex on the bottom edge of the outer case, it could have just walked out of the ARP factory. We've even had a couple notable artists (we won't say who :) through Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar in the past week who have exclaimed that it's the cleanest 2600 they've ever seen, and we can't help but agree!"
