THE Pedals for the SVT Sound

For my demo vid: Should I take the DI from the pedal itself, or the di on the end of my chain? I plan on using my Quilter BB800 as it does a good job with preamps, this head also has a good DI. Thing is I don't think I have a stereo TRS cable available, as the pedal is designed to work with.
 
I have done it. I have done a side by side comparison of the SVpre and the Super 300. I don't think I've ever had two pedals that were this close on every level. I'm sorry I have no sound clips and I am not going to describe what differences I heard or believe I heard. I still have the feeling that people aren't diming the master on the SVpre and finding the magic in that pedal. Even if the actual settings on the pedals are in different locations, you can pretty much find an identical sound on the other. However, I am not a collector and could only keep one. Keep in mind that I don't care about size. If I stop here and say TBC.. can I charge a fee for posting my conclusion? No? Damn. It was worth a try. Well, despite being one of hose obsessed Broughtonites, I have to give the edge to the Super 300. I can't really be too specific, I just somehow gets that one micro percentage of betterness (I just coined that word. It sounds better than superiority). Also, I am not claiming that one is more SVT like than the other, just which one I preferred overall. There, I said it.

I did the same thing.... over a two week period, I kept them both on my board and A/B'd them over and over. Both are killer, but in the end I kept the Superb 300.
