The ‘64 Black Panel is amazing, I really do love the tone but I do wish the cab sim was defeatable. As it stands I only use it as a preamp and take the 1/4” into another DI, which sort of defeats the point of using it as a standalone unit. There is the smallest amount of noise when I use the pedal this way, not enough to be an issue live but when recording it would either need gating or dealing with the noise which isn’t ideal for an engineer. 
 

…

Same here. I found the cab sim took out too much top end so I am running the amp output into a Radial passive DI box. If I need to knock back the treble I tend to use the tweeter switch. And yes there is some hiss, but the tone is stellar. I’m using a Cali76 Compact into it so that if I dig in hard I can get a little bit of break-up. Next gig with this setup will be with Dire Streets at Bingley Little Theatre on 16 December. The whole thing fits neatly into a laptop bag.

Ha funny, I take mine into a Radial JDI. The Jensen transformer pairing, as you say similarly, sounds incredible. I played a gig through a Noble the other night (not mine sadly) and much preferred the 64 paired with my DI, although I’d be interested to have spent more time in comparing.
 

Just wish Origin had figured the cab sim thing at R&D.

Thread resurrection alert! (Seemed a better shout than starting a new one)

 

Any Bassrig users (either of the two) using this to go to FOH and running other effects into it? REALLY fancy one but past experience with IRs and my C4 aren't the best, but never used an analogue cab sim so not sure if will have the same effect 🤔

By way of an update I have replaced the Radial DI with a Fender Micro DI (or Mooer clone, I have both). It has a switchable 4x12 simulator which I use on a case-by-case basis depending on what sounds best with the particular bass I’m using at the time.

Only the compressor in the photo above. What effects are you planning to use? I can’t see  modulation or dynamics effects being a problem but I have had issues with drives into cab sims on skinny-string guitar.

It's mostly been solo'd octaves and saw wave synth stuff I've had issues with... they're essential to what we do though so can't be without 😔

The saw wave synth thing makes sense as you're adding a load of harmonics - kinda like distortion, only different.

I have the Super Vintage (the SVT one).  I’ve only used it outside my house to FOH once. That was with guitar and we were short of XLR cables, so I didn’t use the cab sim.  I have some recordings (via a DAW) where I use the cab sim , but I’m not sure which (if any) effects I had with it in most cases .  I do have a couple of guitar recordings where I used the cab sim and know what effects I was using (you have to listen to my dodgy guitar playing and singing though).  If you want me to share any videos (bass or guitar) let me know.
