Website shows an ECC83S JJ tube which is 12AX7, so getting the full gain on the UA HWSE.
I got one of these, and it actually has a usable gain range, starts breaking up for me around noon, though might look at a 5751 or 12AT7 for science.
That being said, sometimes limitations open up alternative pathways that wouldn't have been taken.
No volume knob? Use your hands for dynamics
No tone/eq knobs? Move your hands for different tones
Being in a jam band with an eclectic repertoire, it's nice to have options at hand to balance...
They’ve done it before with the Mike Herrera MXPX bass, which had dummy knobs because that’s how the artist had it wired. Of course you can rewire it. Intent was bombproof reliability.
I respect Ernie Ball making exactly what the artist wants, but there’s a difference between a professional’s...
Wireless is definitely situational. What may work in my suburban home with neighbors 75' away may not work for someone in a New York Apartment. Buy somewhere with a return policy!

I was going to check but my NG3 is in the shop getting the McGrath selector installed. But I think it should fit. The barrel is more like a straight plug than right angle. Those XVives are decent little devices. Work great for my home use at least.
See if they will let you try the cable out before you buy it. Bring your amp and cab into the store to test the cable.
Be like this guy and cut no corners when it comes to hauling gear:
Some white cabs available at GC for semi-decent prices:

Good enough for me, it sounds like they are responding to feedback, which is about the best we can ask for.
I do wish every single block had a blend though, it seems like a useful tool on just about every block. Bonus points if the blend had a LPF on the dry so you could blend in clean lows...
