I'm confused: with "both" do you mean both the preamp an the Quilter at or both imputs: the front and back ones at once?

Yup. Scroll back a page or three for the posts about it.
What I had initially understood is: most questioned users would prefer to run a preamp into the front/jack/instrument imput of the Quilter (latter of both options menioned), rather than into the xlr-balanced-in at the back -which bypasses the Q's preamp- and was mentioned first.
...but, can you actually use both imputs at the same time? (instead of either of them?)
With the front input, you gain the benefit of the dual limiters and to me sounds better than any preamp I've tried by itself into the XLR in. Using both inputs, it seems to add a new dimension to the tone (much like parallel compression or OMG mode on the G&L L1000).
Paying it forward from the Audiokinesis thread - used BB800 @ GC used for $350 [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Damn another one.. that is what I paid for mine that I just got from there... $400 with tax and shipping total.
Damn, that's the one near me... do I need a second... hmm, maybe i'll go for a drive...
Some of us need pictures and diagrams
So a pre through one of the inputs and a dry signal into the other?

Bass ---> input of pedal
Thru/ tuner out -----> passive input of Quilter
Pedal DI out -------> XLR in of Quilter
The Two Notes Le Bass has a switchable cab sim on the Di out that normally has the effect of darkening the tone. When the Le Bass signal is added to the dry signal from the front of the BB800 it results in a pillowy low end with restored highs. I set the BB800 pre to a middley tone (not shown here) to counteract the scooped channel A of the Le Bass.
This method also works with my Basswitch IQ too but the Le Bass's cab sim adds even more...
Using more than one pedal in either signal chain can result in phase issues.
Too much ain't enough!!!Won't that be just overkill??!!!
Seems you'll keep a bunch of us pretty busy checking out all the options!
Why do you prefer the passive jack imput to the active one. Isn't it more logical to use the active one, using a pedal as an active source?

I'm going straight into the Quilter panel from the Thru output of the Le Bass which is not effected by the preamp. Using the active 1/4" out of the Le Bass results in phase issues (which can be corrected using other pedals in line) but part of the "magic" happens due to the difference of the two signals.
Some experimenting may be required if using different pre's but this method works for me and sits brilliantly in a band mix.
Thanx! My pre has no through output, so I guess that is not a possibility for me, then...unless I split the istrument jack: one end into the Q's front passive imput and the other to the Pre's imput , out from the xlr balanced DI out an into the back balanced input on the Q...long and winding road!!!!
