Maybe later, I really like having the Tuner as a mute, and so far every pedal I have sounds better THRU the CAPO, so it would all be post loop anyway.

I don't mean to be pedantic, but given that you like the Capo after everything if you were to use a loop it would be the Pre Loop.
Maybe, based on your current signal routing scheme, something like Tuner > Capo IN & then everything else in the Pre Loop. That way you would have a pristine Capo Preamp tone & everything else would be a single tap of the loop switch to bring them in after the tuner, but before the preamp so you still get the Capo preamp magic and EQ shaping after them.
Its a handy function to allow you to queue up a tone that utilizes multiple pedals without effecting the tone you're currently playing with.
I put an Octave, Drive, Fuzz, and Filter in the pre loop & can have them all queued up for the next section of a song, switching from a 'clean' tone to a synth tone or a drive tone with a single tap of a switch.
I still haven't had the time to really unlock the magic of the Capo.
I can't wait to find time to start experimenting with loops!
It sounds super good! It has a very warm/clean tone together. The DLA-2A ads a ton of presence to the tone. Every note just sounds so much more full with it on.
Since that picture was taken I have swapped out the Noble for a Simone and I like that combo just as much. I would describe them as warm/potentially dirty with the tube drive capability. To me it has more of an actual "tube amp" presence with the option of the sensitivity knob. I used this combo last night and it was absloutly killer. I got compliments from the entire band of how good the tone was. I will throw my Noble back on there next month to confirm this experience with the two. Photo from last night.
Very nice. I did a preamp shoot out not too long ago. The Simone was one that never made it my way. I would like to try it one day...though, as much fun as the shootout was, I really don't want to go down that rabbit hole again anytime soon. 
Which board is that? It's a cool size.

I'm not sure that there are too many of them out there. The people who have them, love them.
Yeah, I did the shoot out thing too. These are the winners. I keep both to have a backup in the event one goes down. Considering us being worship bass players, the DI quality is every bit as important as the bass itself.Very nice. I did a preamp shoot out not too long ago.

It's an 18X12 from West Coast Pedalboards. Its pretty fancy. Haha
The Simone is one I have yet to try but like the idea of given that it can saturate. How are you running yours? Clean/edge of breakup/saturated?

Question on HPF and LPF.
Are there not high quality passive options? I'm not an expert (evidently) but I would think that dropping frequencies should be possible to do in a passive way, right? A bit like the circuit that Reverend guitars have to cut bass or the tone knob for highs.
I have seen the thumpinator, broughton's and others but not really passive options.

I think that would be down to it interacting with your pickup and the frequency would change with the guitar and control volumes - make it active and you can control input and output impedance?
@Blille
I'm just very confused by the question, whether it was "passive" or "active" you will need a device to carry out the effect, so...? What is the actual question?

Now I am the one confused by your question
the fact that you need a device does not change the question. I'll rephrase to see if it helps. Why are all the popular LPF and HPF devices powered? One would think that you would not need power to remove frequencies since passive circuits like the tone knob or the Reverend bass cut do exactly that. Are there any passive options in the market?
I did a little bit of research and found two passive HPF circuits here. I obviously don't understand much but it likely means that it's possible.

I use an FM3 Turbo for acoustic, electric and bass going direct into FOH at church. It is by far the best bass tone I've ever had.
I had both the khan and the noble at the same time… and now I have neither! I liked them both for different reasons. If I was going to buy a tube DI/preamp again, I'd get another khan vtdi. But honestly, I'm not missing either one at the moment.
What are you running now? I feel like I've seen but can't recall
a Quad Cortex, but I also have an HX stompWhat are you running now? I feel like I've seen but can't recall
The QC is powered by a cioks DC7 underneath, The stomp is power by a cioks SOL.
I like having 2 rigs. It's kinda like having multiple basses. Just got the 2nd round of Ian Allison's presets for the stomp. Also debating putting some gaff tape over the top of the canvas line isolator/di just to keep the theme I have going.
