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!

Interesting. Just have an Orange Crush 25 and a Vox Pathfinder - both for home use so nothing fancy atm. Likely to change as going to start playing live in the coming months so will need to upgrade.

I’ve done this with an AC15 and now a Deluxe Reverb, and it definitely makes a huge difference to how much I play.
My suggestion is to use a cab IR pedal between the attenuator and the audio interface, to avoid any latency, or even to plug headphones straight into and not have to use a computer. I use this, got a cheap used one:

Is there any real difference between this and more expensive traditional attenuators? e.g. on Thomann there are oft-recommended Fryette models for 10x+ more money.
Appreciate Ox Box and the like have significantly more features

Do you really recommended this? I've been keeping an eye out for an attenuator for years but always been put off by the amount of choice out there. I really want a UA Ox but they're so pricey.
Neural Amp Modeler has been terrific for me but none of the tones come close to what I normally use so it's always a bit of a compromise sonically.
