Here I am!
I asked a lot of questions about the slave on forums. At the Pit, two Orange forums, some amp boards... and all kinds of answers, from no problem to don't do it.
As a last resort I mailed Orange and I got a mail back from amp-designer Adrian himself. here's my conversation:

The slave socket is padded down from the output stage so you get something similar to the way the amp actually sounds.

RE: technical question
Dear Adrian,
Thanks for this quick answer! I'll try out option 3.
I hope I can bother you again with a question.
The question: Can you tell me more about the Slave Out. There isn't a technical manual ('Comming Soon' with two 'm's the site says.). Is it post preamp tubes? Which controls affect this signal? You wrote: "...so you still have bass in the PA if the amp fails."> You designed it; of course it won't fail!:) Thanks again for this great> amp!:)

Your prefered option (3) will work fine and sound great!The only reason for using a DI box in front of the amp is so you still have bass in the PA if the amp fails

My preferrable option: 3) Bass --> Amp --> cabinet> Slave Out ---> DI ---> Soundboard.
Can I use the Slave Out for a DI? No problems for valves and impedance? Should I use the cabinet simulator or not? I hope you guys can help me out!
(Chris: My two other options were deleted by Adrian, to point this one out)
I saw the Dutch band Moke again this weekend. They use a double Orange bakcline nowadays. The bass player had two complete rigs with head, 115 and 410:)
