Not sure it will work. I tried an emulated direct out into my Fishman Loudbox Mini. Didn't work very well. It seems to be voiced to give a nice sound with acoustic guitar, but I'm not sure the response is all that flat like a PA would be.
Pretty well any Tech 21 or Joyo equivalent should work, and work very well indeed.
There's something about the voicing of those amps which sounds more like a vintage PA than a modern one, they're great for guitars, almost Roland JC-like.
Maybe the Marshall will be different, but it was a Joyo I tried into my Fishman. Sounded nasty. It sounds far better into a PA.
I guess you have to try it and see if it works. You could pick up one of the Joyo knockoffs of the Tech 21 for £20 (or maybe less) second hand. It won't cost a lot to find out.
Yes.
There are different ones in the series. I have the AC Tone, which I think is their knockoff of the Tech 21 Liverpool pedal. It's their version of the Vox sound.
The American Sound is meant to be the classic Fender Blackface sound. I think the British Sound is meant to be the Marshall, and the California Sound is the Mesa Boogie. They seem to be based on the Tech 21 Character Series pedals.
You can get a cheap DI from Thomann for less than £10.
The main issue is likely going to be the speakers, the 2x8 configuration isn't going to be great for electric guitar and they are probably voiced for an acoustic.
If you mean a speaker-emulating DI box like a H&K Red Box or a Peavey EDI, then it will be fine.

Those Joyo pedals are meant to give an emulated sound to go direct. The output will be massively higher than a microphone though, so I take your point about blowing tweeters.
I'll be interested to see how it turns out, but I'm not sure it will be great. When I tried it through my Fishman amp it didn't sound good at all. I don't think these acoustic amps are designed to give a flat response. I think they give emphasis to some of the higher frequencies that make an acoustic sound good. Even with an emulated output, I suspect that it might make an electric sound fizzy.
For the price of one of those Joyo pedals, it's not expensive to find out. They are a useful thing to have anyway. I thought mine sounded better than my old Pod for recording direct, and it also gives you a straight to PA backup live if your amp goes down.
My guitar set up uses an old AER compact cabinet, the amp part long since gave up, and a bluguitar amp 1. The original Beyma speaker had a whizzer cone and once that was removed the cab sounded great until I gave it full chat on a gig and the speaker fried. I’ve replaced it with a 200 watt Beyma and all is great for me.
