I could not think of any person I would like to see as the owner of this other than Wolf. (excluding myself of course)
Good scoop mate!

Slawie, Thanks ___  I was really waiting for you to scoop this critter!
 
Then it seemed to linger on eBay ___ and after the conversation with the seller who is a nice guy , who had sincere concerns regarding its functional safety, and possibility of complications due to its age ,SO ____  I ended up with it.  I also did not want any nefarious entity that copies Alembic products to get their hands on it and replicate it for monitary gain before Alembic Inc. even gets a chance to release the NEW IN-2  !    Thus ; I sent out my Raven to fetch it ___LOL ,  
 
Actually it is even still in transit  __!  
The pic above is from the seller .

Wolf,
 
I did make an offer early in the piece but that was not accepted. I was going to place a second offer but was foiled by my own stupidity by not checking frequently enough. I thought that it been sold as the listing suddenly disappeared from view.
 
I was imagining that any offer I would make was not going to be near the mark because the asking price was so high. Oh well live and learn.
 
I am having my series I electronically reworked at the factory soon so I might as well have my budget go toward the instrument and wait for the new IN-2's to be released by Alembic Inc.  
 
Congratulations on your Unicorn Breath acquisition.
 
I imagine that you will be doing the electronic and functional validation yourself and maybe not sending it back to the Mother-ship.  
 
If it is at the factory when I'm there in July the scene may be something like this;
 
Replace the guitar for an IN-2

Slawie ,
           Perhaps , I can buy you and Mrs. Slawie lunch when you show up in the Bay Area____

Wolf,
I was hoping to meet up. Looking forward to it.
If you send me your phone number to my gmail account. I will touch base when we arrive.
After knowing you on-line for so many years it will be  a buzz to finally shake your hand.

What is an IN-2?

Hello Jonathan,  
We jammed at a Northern California Alembic gathering a while ago.  The short answer is essentially; A power supply. ___Passive DI,  ___Mult box , patch switching & Mode switch, signal router for Series Alembic instruments . The signal routing and DI features can be utilized with any other instrument including  ones with passive design.    
 
      The Alembic Description is better then mine :  
 

Didn't Van Morrison love this unit so much he sang about it - IN-2 the Mystic?
 
Bill, tgo

Thanks Wolf.  
 
Hopefully we'll get the chance to do it again!

I hope the interest shown by club members on this eBay unit help demonstrate the value in a new production run of the IN-2.  
Jon
