Fender Downtown Express

I'm also wondering about the pedal order using this pedal. I play through an old bassman amp so for live gigs I like to use the Direct Out to send to the main speakers. Its a perfect stand alone pedal for certain gigs.
However, if you want to use other pedals in addition to this one (in my case- envelope filter, octave, and reverb) in theory they would go after this one (because you want the compressor in front), but then the other effects wouldn't go out the DI unless it was at the end, right? Can someone please explain this to me? haha

Nothing really to explain, you've got the picture. If you need DI with effects that you want to put after the Fender pedal, you'll need another way to get the DI out.

Necroing this thread a little because I've saw a decent deal on one of these, so I'm takin' a look through TB posts about it.
