as much as I love my JTM 45, it's not the most home friendly amp. Even with the Attenuator it's still too loud to use for recording.
So I picked up one of these...
It's a bit of a Swiss Army knife. You can use it as a headphone practice tool, a usb interface for recording, run it in your amp fx loop to give some valve goodness, a re-amp tool and a drive pedal. Only played it through headphones so far, but it's pretty fucking good. You can get the whole cleaning up with the volume pot that a lot of software/digital solutions I've tried seem to fall short. It takes pedals amazingly. And when you record into your DAW it records a dry and a effected signal so you can re-amp etc later.

Yes doog, and it's dam good at it too. I've tended to use this a
Lot more than rigging up the Marshall at home. The eq is fixed by preset buttons, but nothing to stop you whacking an eq or something in your daw.
