Synthchaser #050 - ARP 2600 Grey Meanie Troubleshooting & Power Supply Rebuild

Published on Feb 18, 2017 Synth Chaser

"I begin the restoration of a very rare (one of ~35 made) ARP 2600 Grey Meanie. I bought this ARP totally dead and intend to do a full restoration of it before I sell it.

Its previous owner thought the power supply was broken, so we check it out and locate the real problem. But, as should be done with every vintage synth, we rebuild the power supply.

If you'd like me to make more videos as I repair and restore this ARP 2600, please let me know!"

"I picked up the Waves SSL bundle this week while it was on special. Also I managed to find a few hours last night to finally burn upgrade roms for the Eventide H3000. All of this together means I can make something a little more intense and dense then slap a nice SSL emulated bus compressor on the mix and bring it back to sanity. So here it is, not as tuneful as many of my other youtube clips but an interesting experiment."

"This synth sounds killer and has had what appears to be a filter mod as the added control near the mod wheel shows. I'm not sure what was done but it adds an aggressive distortion filter when cranked that is very cool. Everything looks to be stock and overall the board is in good condition for it's age. To issues of note are the 2 missing fader caps which are not a big deal as you can still easily move the sliders with your finger. Also it has 1 key that sticks and has to be pulled back up manually. May be just a bad spring or it may need a new key."

"A quick patch and go... using O&C to generate euclidean patterns, which trigger Quadra envelops. Telharmonic makes a droning foundation, Erica's BW adds some texture, and the Stillson sends CV to Rings for some melodic sounds...."
