>>> It's a solid state unit, but the sound is very warm and full. In fact, it's the best low end I've heard from any preamp

Oh baby - thanks for that update, Edwin.
 
This is sounding more and more like the perfect solution for a wide variety of purposes and it's attaining significant upward mobility on the wish list as I write this.

(Brief hijack) - When were you with RFoB?  One of my favorite bands ever since we did a weekend with them back when Jimmy Wimpfheimer was on bass!

You can put the Felix on a higher surface (and even mount a mic stand adapter to it) and control the footswitches with a remote footswitch. At this point, I'm using the F2B for tonal shaping and the Felix for EQ necessary for the room, etc., so once it's set, I don't touch it. Most of the time, it's flat with the high pass set to what seems like a good frequency to get rid of the mud.
 
As far as use of parametric EQ's, what you refer to as the Tom Dowd method has always been the method that everyone I know has always done. It's always struck me as the obvious way to use a parametric. Cutting what you don't need is always the best thing to do. It preserves headroom and dynamic range.

Wow. That looks like it might just be that the answer to some configuration issues I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to work out with my rig, the major one being the challenge of running bass pedals and bass guitar through the same amp and speakers.
