3. Can I assume you want to use the U5 as THE pre-amp and the 550 as the power source? If yes, the answer would be to run 'Out' of the U5 into the 'Effects Return' of the 550, thus, by-passing the 550's pre.

Ok. Now I'm trying to understand why you would want to do this. Is there a specific reason why you would want to by-pass the 550 pre for the U5 pre?
