Anyway, I wanted to rig the DS-R5, F-1X and the famous F-2B all in one integrated sound tuning monster... Here's my the recipe... Part-1 (Cable 1) I have an Alembic DS-5R rack, which connects to my bass via XLR cable... Part-2 (Cable 2) On the DS-5R rack console, I connect a standard 1/4 cable -- to the DS-5R labeled "BASS" port, and the other 1/4" jack-end, to the F-2B labeled "1" port(on the front of the F-2B Pre-amp). Part-3 (Cable 3) From the back of F-1X, connect a third standard 1/4" cable to the labeled "Return" port, and connect other end; to the back of the F-2B labeled "M" port. Part-4 (Cable 4) From the back of the F-1X, insert the forth 1/4" cable, to the labeled "Full Range" port, and the other end of the cable, to speaker "IN" port... The sound is wonderful, and invigorating. I am very pleased with having all options to an infinite of wonderful sounds... hot, locked and in the pocket! Any other ideas, I would love to read them... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! edwin Advanced Member Username: edwin Post Number: 380 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2009 - 4:34 pm:    What? No SF2????? :-) Sounds like a great rig!

Each pickup could have it's own channel of the f2b. It would be only 1 more cable from the ds5r to the ch.2 f2b input! briant Advanced Member Username: briant Post Number: 256 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2009 - 1:36 am:    I'm just left wondering how you have a piece of Behringer gear with all that other stuff. That's like having a Ferarri and sticking a Yugo transmission in it. hendixclarke Advanced Member Username: hendixclarke Post Number: 363 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2009 - 4:33 am:    It was a gift. I love the effects it give too. hendixclarke Advanced Member Username: hendixclarke Post Number: 364 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2009 - 4:54 am:    Charles, Question: FROM THE FRONT: Add a 1/4" cable from DS-5R (Treble Port or Bass Port...) to F-2B (Port 2)? Thanks. crgaston Senior Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 508 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2009 - 5:45 am:    Yes. Set the ds5r to stereo, and run bass to 1 channel and treble to another. That way, each pickup has it's own volume, bass and treble. So you can add a little more thump to the bridge p/u without the neck p/u getting too boomy, or even more drastic differences. hendixclarke Advanced Member Username: hendixclarke Post Number: 365 Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2009 - 8:31 am:    This is why I love this site with all my heart.
