Jad freer capo and bassrig in which order

I’m a big fan of origin effects bassrig preamps , and I love my new jad freer capo I purchased some weeks ago, I want to use both, keep vintage warm sound with bassrig fifteen and precise punch of capo, all goes to transparent punchy Aguilar ag 700 and 212 cab. Question is , bassrig into capo or capo into bassrig? (Or use pre loop capo or post loop capo ) ? Cali76 stands also right after my bass
 
..... but it’s not easy to adjust capo for that vintage sound
I am not a fan of the OE SV, more a Tech21 VT guy. I never managed to get a "warm", "organic" or "vintage" sound of my Capos (I had it twice).
I REALLY liked the A side "on the edge of breakup" and the B side providing a slight grit...... Together with a P and a pick it was glorious.
But for anything else I found it anemic sounding.

In case you want to use the SV cab sim on the XLR out, the Capo has to be placed in front of the SV.

I understand, no need for DI in my case, just want to mix them together with best possible way, I agree Capo is to steril, clean, by I still want this precise pedal on my floor 🙂 just need to warm it up 🔥

Edit :
Bass-->Cali76 -->
Jad Freer Capo ( saturation and precise controll side A, breakup or overdrive side B -->
origin effects bassrig 15 for overall analog vintage sound + analog Cab sim -->
any amp or FOH (much better with cab sim DI from bassrig 15 🔥🔥🔥 ( you can have 3x DI and mix it, bassrig cab sim + Capo preamp DI + Capo celan DI

If I may suggest, you could try the Comp AFTER the Capo (used as overdrive).
I prefer my comp after the drives, so I can control the drives intensity with my plucking/picking attack.
