Line6 Helix Stomp + Radial Bass DI?

[GeneralElectric]

Hi all,

Thinking about going ampless for rehearsals and shows with one of my bands. Guitarist has the Helix and raves about it. Thinking about joining the train as right now I'm using a DI into our mixer/PA. Everyone goes direct into the PA (drummer has an electric kit) and honestly it sounds so good that I want to keep it that way!

We play an electric mix of old and new soul and r&b.

Right now my signal chain for most stuff is

Bass>compressor>Way Huge Green Rhino> Radial Bassbone OD ^(Fx loop triggered by Boss LS2) MXR Bass Octave> Darkglass Duality^>Amp

This kit already takes up pretty much my entire pedal board. Thinking about more effects, and maybe amp/cab sims. New to the whole world of IR files too and not sure how the midi functions work for this.

Trying to add the following effects to my chain (and maybe take some of the existing ones out)
-Chorus
-Envelope Filter
-Octave Up

Does this have any issues with tracking? I don't own a fiver and have tuned my P-bass down to C-standard with regular 45-105 Elixers worried all that loose fundamental stuff won't track super well.

FYI I'm in two other rock oriented bands so if I could get this to do double duty without much effort, I'd be pumped!

HX Stomp and a trs to xlr cable

When I was using a Stomp, I had a Radial StageBug DI mounted on my board. Worked perfectly. I moved to the Helix Floor now, but the Stomp/Radial was a great setup also.

The TRS-XLR cable would work fine also, but for me it was one more thing for me to lose, whereas the Radial was mounted to my board and always with me.
