Hey @BigRedX
Well, that is my thinking too... I've never used one before when I have used IEMS. I never knew what the desk guys added, but it wasn't coming from me at all.
The EBS is my pre-amp and my de facto tone. From what I hear, the IRL is just to emulate a cab - or an amp and a cab.
I guess, is it that important to have that running? I dunno. I like my Ashdown rig... not sure I'd want whatever was available.. or make my own (gosh knows how I'd even go about thinking of starting that exercise).
So, the pedal is there for my use... but how will I even test it, other than at a rehearsal or live?
I guess having it for free, and the possibility that it makes my bass sound warmer, is a plus.. but is putting it in the FX loop, after the FX, a good/bad/clever/dumbass thing to do?
Anyway - thanks for responding
