Seems like SS would have to be before, so the compressed signal could be sent to the XLR as well as the 1/4" out? "Finally" really means finally, right?
Yes that would certainly seem to be the most likely layout, but it might also be HPF>>>tube gain stage>>>comp>>>DI. That would better preserve touch/input sensitivity of any tube-related harmonics & compression. It cannot be exactly like the 2 individual pedals in series because SS no longer has its' own tube. I'm curious. Nathan may have seen combining the 2 as an opportunity for further tweaking....or maybe Mike W wanted it to be as close to the 2 original pedals as possible?

Hmm.. I was just wondering what Sushibox had been up to. I recently made some changes to my rig. I was DI only forever but I happened on a deal for an amp that I might want to integrate. I need to see if there are any tools I can make use of besides the Finally.

I was similarly trying to figure out the combo based on the controls. Entirely speculation, but this arrangement seems like it would be the best of both worlds. Fingers crossed we’re on the same brainwaves as Nathan and Watt

Good point, I was just thinking in terms of putting the two separate pedal circuits in the same box. But it looks like Mr. Sushi did yet another thing. Interesting.
