BBE Sonic maximizer - Is it worth it.

I'm currently using an Eden WT-300 or SWR 350. I don't have a separate power amp and preamp. I assume the FX loop still applies. The manual says it takes unbalanced signal. I know you can't plug instruments into the 362 (which I have), but I have a wireless receiver that puts out unbalanced, I presume at -10. Does that mean I could run the wireless right into the BBE, and the output the BBE to my amp input?

I'm going to try it tomorrow in FX loop first. I also have a Boss GT-6B unit, so it sounds I like I should put the BBE after it in the loop.
 
My 2 cts worth: I picked up a 482 fairly cheap on Ebay, and I think the best description was "you'll miss it when you turn it off"! What it does to low end is excellent in my opinion, treble (process)however is to be used more carefully, specially if you have high treble output on your bass (My Alembic does). It won't leave my rack, it even makes my EBS stack sound better, clearer! I used Aphex Type C but could never get friendly with it.
