Origin Effects BASSRIG

LOVE the CB76.


These things sound great (ian is great), but here's my question: I already have a wd800, so what would be the application of this? Do you just stomp it for an extra sound, or do you leave it on all the time? It seems redundant to run this preamp into the mesa preamp. Yeah I get it small and light and you could use it as a direct box, but those Mesa amps are small and light too. Mostly I'm just looking for an excuse to buy it!
Run it into the effects return of the Mesa and you would bypass the Mesa preamp. Double check the manual but I believe that is how the effects return works without using the send.
 
I'm pretty sure ive seen some pedals where two effects were put in one box and you could just flip a toggle switch to change the order. That said I already have the cali and won't be selling it
Yeah, but what if you don't want them next to each other in the signal path? With something like that, is has to be comp->amp or amp->comp. What if I want something between those?
