I think I would use both: the MX5 for effects as it has almost no limit on the number of pedals to use, and the b6 for compressors and amps and IRs as I don't use real Amp ever live.
I’ve considered running the MX5 through the effects loop on my B6 for just that reason. Set up a good amp tone with some compression and eq, then loop out to the mx5 for any and all effects. Just never really sat down and tried it.

would it be better than the zoom B3N or whatever it’s called? I need something easy to use for bass on stage
I had a B3n and loved it. After a few months of the B6 I got rid of my B3n. But if cost is an issue, you can’t go wrong in my opinion.
Why not use TRS-XLR cable instead of DI-box when the Headrush do have TRS connections?
Personal preference. Though for some connections, adapters might be ok, some have signal loss.
@@terrymcgaha3560 I use
a standard trs-xlr cable, no adapters at all.
Do u know how the B6 compare to Headrush Prime? (Ease of use & FX)
I’ve only messed with the MX5. I’m sure the Prime has even more to offer than the MX5 though. If it’s more guitar than bass offerings, I’m not sure.
Hi I’m curious the way you cable your b6 to the amp can the mx5 do the same? Would it be cabled the same?
Yes. The same cable method will work but you could only use the mono out on the mx5 unless your effects return in your amp is stereo.
b6 was created specifically for bass, mx5 was created for guitar and bass
