My current signal chain is
GE-7 -> BD-2 -> bass combo amp (an old 1x10" Carlsbro one)
and for recording I do
GE-7 -> BD-2 -> audio interface -> bass amp/cab sim in Helix Native -> reverb plugins (my favorite so far is Arturia Rev PLATE-140)
I wanted to keep everything as basic and analog as possible/reasonable, but at this point it's 100% clear that a reverb is absolutely essential for the stuff I'm currently working on.
Plate/hall reverb pedals are inherently digital. I also want a universal solution in a compact box for playing into amps, direct to PA and recording. I was thinking about SansAmps and the like, but so far I haven't seen an analog preamp that fits my use cases well enough to not additionally need another utility box or two.
So...
RV-6 + IR-2 (~$370 + $150-200 for an isolated power supply because daisy chaining will become too noisy)?
Or should simply completely surrender to digital and get a GX-10 (also ~$370)?
