Recording Via Torpedo Reload Options

[Roadside]

Hey hey,

actually I know there are lots of threads concerning audio recording. But since I have some specific needs and already a little equipment on site I would like to here your opinion.

A few years back I invested into a Shure SM57 and E-MU 0404 audio midi interface to directly record my amp sound. I was not too happy with the results, but this was due to my poor mastering / recording skills. But even worse, my neighbours hated me for crunching up my amp to get a proper sound.

Now, a good friend advised me to check out 2 Notes Torpedo Reload - http://www.two-notes.com/en/hardware/torpedo-reload/

It combines a load box, re-amping unit as well as a power attenuator. So from what I understand a setup could look as follows:

Guitar -> Torpedo Reload -> AMP
-> cabinets / monitors
-> Audio Interface -> DAW

With this kind of setup I am able to record just via head phones but simulate a fully cranked up amp and it still provides the typical amp sound? As well as modify recorded samples properly in DAW softwares?

What is your opinion here? Is it worth investing 700 € for that tool? Most probably that would be all that i need to invest since I already have the E-MU as audio interface. I assume it could be used, couldn't it?

Are there any alternatives?

Thanks for any advise in advance. This stuff is new and quite confusing to me!
