Before I had a real studio I converted my garage into a single room studio and recorded a lot of bands in there. Although it was soundproof so the neighbours weren't a problem I still had the problem of being in close vicinity of guitarist who liked playing very loud to get their sound. So I got a large dog crate, intended for very big dogs like Alsatians and such put their combos in there or my 2 x 12" cab along with a 57 mic .... then I covered it in pieces of heavy carpet to kill the volume. It worked very well indeed and after recording I could collapse the dog cage and roll up the carpet. I recorded an AC30 on full belt for one session but was able to talk over it .... carpet is very effective at killing volume down to 100hz or so
I have such a crate for my big gold retriever. I can only shudder at what level of smell and hair would get shaken out of the crate with a cab going at full pelt :')
the Boss Waza Tube Amp expander looks on paper - the dogs but best part of £1200
The Two Notes stuff
The UAD OX
Suhr reactive loads - I think v2 maybe a NAMM reveal as per the WAZA
What amp are you trying to tame - my MK5 25 - as a speaker smulation and a DI out which a more than acceptable for home recording ..
Have you considered an isolation cab ? clearly would limit your IR but eq / mic or mics placement might be your answer ?
no idea of quality - https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Jet-City-JetStream-ii-Unloaded-Isolation-Cab/2DXN at £200
A few prominent Youtubers use isolation setups - Pete Thorn built his own in a former studio setup and he does get some decent tones ...

you can buy small isoboxes, but they aren't as good as something like this
Now I live in a house with thicker walls, and added secondary glazing to my guitar room, about £340 per window
