I am still in for a unit

Can a regular 1/4 jack be used to run a bass?

Charles ,
Having had rebuilt the power supply circuit in my old IN-2 as close to original as possible I can report that the original IN-2 is not designed to do that.

However, with a different type of power source some active instrument circuits can be powered with a 1/4 TRS cable with the additional conductor.

I'm thinking about modding my DS5R to something like this. I don't need all the features, just the DIs and switchable effects loops for each channel. The biggest issue for me is the metal work (punching holes for the XLRs) as the rest of it is just soldering basic connections. I have some Reichenbach transformers just sitting around waiting to go.

Thanks Wolf,
I asked that question because on Mondays I am the House bassist and was looking for something that other bass players could plug into to use my rig. I have a series bass. I wonder if Alembic makes a unit that can do both.

It should be pretty trivial to build a switch box that would go before your preamp input that would select either the output of your power supply or a quarter inch input. Or even purchase a Radial or any number of other switch boxes.

Charles,
If you have an Alembic DS5R in your rack to power your Series I , the front and back audio outputs are in a parallel circuit if I remember correctly. If you wish to let someone play their bass trough your rig providing for example you have the signal output connected from the back routed on the way to the amplification , a mono instrument can be plugged into the front TS 1/4 jacks on the front of the DS5R. If you switch to mono both sides will get the same signal down 3 dB I believe per parallel mult . You just might want to unplug the 5 pin from your Series I from the front of the DS5R first. I have done this before and it worked.

Thank you,
I will try it out.

I have also tried plugging a non series bass into the mono jacks on the DS5R and it works fine.

Here's one for sale: Ebay link

Crazy price, but you can make an offer...

For the new units:

Would be uberawesome if they can make it so, that the functions of the rotary switch can also be switched with a momentary footswitch (through Jack outputs)
Than you can make everything midi switchable with a device like the Voodoolab GCX/Rocktron patchmate, etc.

Thanks for that Flip.
I got all excited only to be disappointed once I opened the link.
What a pity that its 110V otherwise I would be all over it (with an offer that is, probably at 30% of their asking price - tops)
Mica, please do not use the above asking price as a benchmark for future IN-2's
The on/off switch needs to be in the front of the device also. I have moved my F2-B and DS5-R switches to the front of both boxes.
