@chinski absolutely! I suggest placing your volume shaping device after PhaseLock so you can see both the kick and sub waveforms on the oscilloscope and align them with the dedicated knob. Then, you can shape the subbass volume while the phase is aligned, which might reduce the need for sidechaining because the kick and bass are better merged together.
