Epic jack

Hi, Can the jack be replaced with standard stereo jack? My guitar cable falls off of it. i`´ve tried to bend it back, make it tighter but no luck.

I can't find the location anymore, but the correct replacement jacks used to be available in the store as parts.

In general, you can find parts here:
https://store.turbify.net/alembic/parts.html

On the new site, it’s under the “Products” pull-down, under the “Accessories Store” heading. 

Here’s the link to the jack:

And a regular stereo jack will not work in this application. Make sure your cable's connectors are actually 1/4" especially if gold-plated. Many are bigger and make the jack unhappy.

Thanks for the info! It didnt occur to me that the cable could be different size. I´ll check with different cable.

It won't help your jack but to make sure the replacement one doesn't get fatigued. You can try bending the spring more to retain the cable connector, but there's the risk of breaking it. Maybe when you get the new one you can try one more time with the old one and see if you can bend it enough without breaking it.

Hi, trying with differend cable worked a little bit. It doesnt fall by it self.
But when i re-soldered the jack becouse one connection looked allmost loose, it stopped working. No sound coming from the bass.
I measured with multimeter that the signal goes from jack to first circuitboard. And cant find any shortings in the jack.
Any idea what i messed up?
