Does anyone use it as an unbuffered alternative input using the first loop return?
Thx Alf.

This can be done, but you will need to re-establish the ground connection that is lifted on the Return jack. This can be done externally by soldering a wire to the Sleeve of the cable plugged into the Input and connecting it to the Sleeve of the cable plugged into to the Return of Loop 1.
Good Luck!

Another question...do I find the ground also in the sleeve of send 1? In that case simply adding to my inst.2 cable a dummy jack with just the sleeve connected to be put in the send could solve my problem?
thanks again.

That should work too!
p.s. Are you switching between two instruments regularly or is this supposed to be for "emergency" use?

Thanks John,
don't do it often, but I have a gig where the pedal switch is not that necessary and I have an EH Freeze pedal and a bit of delay that I would share between an electric and an acoustic...so the possibility to have a double input and a double output in a single box, powered by my pedalpower 2+ is tempting.
When I switch the acoustic guitar input on I also switch the output going to the D.I. and I'm done.
