So what I'm looking for is an attenuator that I can use to turn the amp down to pretty much silent and then DI straight into my DAW
I know that Tone King do the Iron Man, which was designed for the imperial, but are there any cheaper alternatives?

If you're doing cabinet emulation/IR stuff in your DAW, then you can use any dummy load and just MacGyver the line out with two wires and a jack socket. Add a level pot for higher amp amp outputs.

You can make your own - you need a wire wound resistor to represent your speaker load (something like 24 ohms / to mimic a 16 ohm and 12 ohm To represent 8 ohm
Wattage will be dependent on the amp you want to use, but go large as the unused power is dissipated as heat
Tap an 82k resistor in series with 5k linear pot and an output jack, all in parallel to the wire wound resistor that provides the speaker load

I haven't had that with the jettenuator, the recording I've done with it so far has been good, I only got flubby low end at high gain when the line level was either under 2 or over 7, in the middle it was fine

Me neither, but I don't use much gain anyway.
