Should also say, if you have a nice amp you might want to consider this gadget: https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pa_100_power_attenuator.htm
Allows you to play without a speaker and go straight into the soundcard. Then you can just apply a cab IR and you're away. Keeps the feel and tone of a tube amp with none of the volume hassle, it's made me play my guitar so much more since I've had it!

Encouraging to hear, I've been sitting on swapping my Casino's pickups for some time now, need to finally bite the bullet. Will be making the loom myself as that's the only part of the process I don't dread....!
@dsalmon I'd really recommend Proteus and NAM (Neural Amp Modeller) for in-the-box amp alternatives - they're both freeware and some of the models you can download sound and react great! Consensus seems that the well made ones easily compare to the much raved about Kemper and the likes, so to think it's all free it's pretty bonkers...!
