Behringer’s take on the Grampian Reverberation Unit Type 636 from the late 1960s is currently on offer at Thomann, with 10% off its normal price tag.
Now down to £129, Behringer’s Spring Reverberation 646 (previously named 636), recreates the preamp/spring reverb combo made famous by the original unit used by artists like Pete Townshend and producer Martin Hannett. It was even instrumental in shaping the sounds of early reggae, and original Grampian units are now rare, often selling for four-figure sums.

Launched in 2024, this recreation has a simple interface inspired by the original, with control knobs for Reverberate (a dry/wet mix control to adjust the amount of reverb in your signal), Aux Channel, and Mic Channel. It has an overload circuit for warm analogue tone, plus 3.5mm inputs/outputs on the front panel and 6.3mm ins/outs on the back.

We’ve seen a number of Behringer items reduced in recent weeks. The price of the brand’s LM Drum was also slashed at Thomann. For less than £300, this drum machine is not just a modern take on the LinnDrum. Instead, it captures the essence of “a hundred legendary ’80s drum sounds”, according to Behringer, including those designed by Roger Linn such as the LM-1, LM-2, LM9000 and more.
Meanwhile, you can still get Behringer’s Wave synth – also at Thomann – for under £500…
