I have a Peavey express 112 for a very long time. Though not used much (specially after 2000's) I sometimes connect processors or use its drive for fun when I can go loud.
It's solidstate, so unlike tube amps I can mute the poweramp (dummy jack on fx return) and send the preamp signal to my soundcard (fx send). Sounded pretty good so I made a quick tone sample, will take the time later on to find a better ir cab. but these should give the idea. For this sample I used an ir cab. and freeware voxengo tubeamp to emulate some poweramp compression; https://soundcloud.com/gitarg-nl-kleri/power For this I used a different ir cab. and added some delay; https://soundcloud.com/gitarg-nl-kleri/solo Keep in mind this is a 100 dolar amp

Im stoked to see you making some recordings in your home studio and sharing them here on GMC. Sounds good to me
If you are going to record direct I'd say just skip the Peavey entirely so that you are not married to the tone once it's recorded. The 112 is a fun amp for sure. It's great for live use as well imho. It's not so killer that I'd say you need to have it burned in to your tone though. Once you get your guitar plugged in to your sound card, you can use a bundle of plugins such as you are used to doing to build your tone. The benefit is that you can change everything about the tone at any time if you just use all plugins to shape it. This assumes of course that your computer is fast enough to allow for real time processing of your tone without creating dreaded lag. Some folks are not able to use a software signal chain without some sort of lag being created due to system resources being insufficient.

I'll probably use it like you use your Mynasnikov 
solo's mainly. I noticed I've missed taming dynamics, with plug-ins or processor its usually the opposite with distortion.

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jul 10 2019, 01:56 AM) Very cool plugin. Especially for using with external hardware. Much cheaper than buying a hardware torpedo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol7G6KPeI68...eature=youtu.be Cool hardware comparison, the Chinese stuff are competitive these days. Also 2 stuff I've been eyeballing; https://www.laney.co.uk/products/ironheart-...se-effect-pedal This seems to be the cheapest tube-preamp available today. Not many eq'ing options, but can re-amp from USB. Can work as a distortion pedal too if a switch is bought, I've read some comments some use it as a DI device before processors/soundcards too. http://www.nuxefx.com/content-72-272-1.html The store here which sell's it say they can hardly keep-up with the demand. It similar to a boss jb-2 (emulating same pedals), but offers ir-cab., mod. fx and cool routing options. Users say it works well on stage as a fly-rig, same positive comments with amps too. No eq, only tone knob of drive pedals...yet people manage to get cool sounds. So with the right ir cab. selection, things can work well despite not having eq. This was what gave me the idea to try my amps preamp, I tried it before but at the time ir's weren't as good and poweramp plug-ins were extremely rare.

Let us know what you end up getting and make some recordings and maybe a video! I don't think I've ever seen a gear video from you mertay? Love to see one! CERBERUS is a very cool pedal unit. It's about the price of a boutique overdrive and it's an entire programmable pedal board. IF you built that piece by piece, just putting it all together, buying a board to mount it on, a power supply and programmable pedal controller would end up costing at least TRIPLE the price imho.
mooer has something called the BLACK TRUCK which has EQ but I don't think it has IR. QUOTE (Mertay @ Jul 10 2019, 03:26 AM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol7G6KPeI68...eature=youtu.be
