Title: IN-2
Post by: 76ac070 on May 05, 2004, 01:14:23 PM

OK - here we go with tapping the remaining brain cells that all of you (we) older ALembic folks have left!  I have asked this before (no, I'm not going senile) but thought that if I asked again I might have a bit more luck.  When I bought my bass in 1976, my setup was as follows: IN-2, F-2B, MC-2300, (8) single 15 Alembic cabs (2 stacks of four!).  I am now looking to replace the IN-2.  It was the predecessor to what is now the DS-5R, but was MUCH more functional.  If anyone knows where I might find one, please let me know!
 
Thanks
 
Chris........I think I'll join in the names fun...

Chris - I know what you mean, I am sort of looking for one too.  The IN-2 had low z outs in stereo that could be reversed with the flip of a switch. (If I remember correctly)  I do know someone that owns one, but he won't part with it.
 
I think it would be nice to have a rackmount power supply that you could split the out puts to you power amp in stereo and have a mono output to the board, in 1 rack space.  I guess I could modify my DS-5R, but I'd rather not.

Michael - not only reverse, but you also had front-and-rear-outs, you could sum the channels, assign both outs to a single channel and reverse that, as well.  AND - the unit was a direct box, too!  I remain longing for the good old days when all of these cool electronics could still be found!  8>)
 
BTW - I do not believe that Ron made all that many of these units, although the face plate did not appear to be hand lettered - Mica?

If there are a few people that want these, has anyone asked Mica if they could build a few more?  It seems like the type of thing they might be willing to do...

Sounds like a really useful gadget.  I like having the flexibility to reconfigure my signal and components.  I'd be interested in having an IN-2.

Well, after a LOT of searching and stuff, I finally got an IN-2.  It came in the mail today.  I just got finished cleaning it up and installing it in my rack.  I will be using it tonight.  I will be playing with these guys:

I was wondering did the IN-2 come standard back in the early days as THE power supply. I ask because I bought a 75 series I and The guy I bought it from is going to send me the Original power supply, I am wondering should I receive a IN-2. and not a DS-5R?
Thanks Guys,

Ed, The IN-2 did not come standard.  What you will be getting is a DS-5.  It should be a small blue box that is not a rack mount unit.
 
Chris, I know someone who has one.  I have been asking him for YEARS to part with it.  He finally put me on to someone that he knew that also had one.  The owner I bought it from sold his bass many years ago and had the IN-2 just hanging around.  So, I do know of another, but he will not part with it.  Believe me, I have tried!
