UAD Apollo -> Live?

[redtomfunk]

In the last years I have been a fan of the "no amp" party.
I have gone in ears and enjoyed the sound coming from my Noble di after a Cali76 and a Empress Paraeq. With such a setup the backline amp was only for display.

In the last week I have started to think that I could use my UAD Apollo solo as a live rig also.
I found a dream sound with the Helios 69 plugin in parallel with either a B15 or a 800RB GK plugin

I was wondering how do you guys would go about integrating it with the Noble DI and eventually with the Cali76-TX I currently use.

I mean there are great simulations of the 1176 on the Apollo anyway.

I think it is worth keeping a bit of control with a Paraeq maybe.
Would you use the Noble at all? Would it give me something more?

How would you connect the Noble and the Apollo?
I thought bass -> Cali76-TX (if at all) -> apollo -> Noble -> xlr to FOH (and eventually jack out to amp)
Would I need anything between the apollo and the NOble (which has 10MOhm input impedence)

Do you guys see any drawbacks with it all? (I know I need my laptop to power the apollo, I accounted for this problem)

more specifically would you put the UAD first and then the Noble?
Do I need to put a reamp box between them?

The outputs are balanced on the Apollo , no need for a DI
Get a 1/4'' balanced to XLR-M to feed FOH

If the Apollo out goes into the noble in?
That was the question

 

[fokof]

Why do you need a DI ?
You have a balanced output on the Apollo and access to Gazillion of plugins to shape your sound ( if that's why you want your DI )

If you absolutely have to use your DI , check if it's input take +4db level

That was another of the questions I asked (whether it was worth to have the noble di at all in such a setup)
I know someone will say to use my ears and I will but right now I haven’t got enough time.
Anyway I don’t only want to go front of house but also through to an amp in some occasions and that is why I thought of the di after the apollo
