Thoroughly enjoying that tone through headphones, which I never thought I'd say!
Sounds great and means I can have amp like tone and response through my home stereo or in headphones.
Will look to record expand to record DI stuff later this year.
To answer the question.. yes! I use a EAE Model FET as my preamp and currently a Bluguitar Blubox as my cab sim, although I’ve just bought a Cabzeus Mono to try too.
In terms of drive, I tend to have it set to that edge of breakup tone with a tubescreamer type pedal to boost it to fuzzy territory and give some eq functionality
1. Can I use any drive pedal as a preamp, or does it have to be a proper preamp pedal?
2. Running a preamp pedal into a speaker emulator - would I need some kind of power amp emulator, for character or compression etc?
3. If I wanted to use this rig with a speaker for band session or gig, do I run the cab sim into a frfr, although it's the sim of a mic'd speaker, running through a speaker? Or would it be better to the preamp (or power amp, if using one) pedal into a power amp (sd powerstage for example) and into a normal guitar cab?

Drives (if wanted)
Preamp pedal
Modulations
Cab Sim
So potential options could be:
Tube screamer into
Victory V40 preamp pedal into
Delay Pedal into
Two Notes Cab M
The Two notes could out put to a PA/FRFR speaker but you'd need a power amp like a Orange Pedal Baby, SD170, Matrix GT1000/GT800 etc to drive a traditional cab.
1. You can, but I have been much happier with the results once using a proper preamp
2. The CAB M has power amp emulation (including valve selection, Single Ended or Push Pull, pentode or triode etc)
3. The point of FRFR is that it doesn’t provide the colouration that a guitar speaker does, so it’s not “speaker on speaker” any more than mic’ing an amp into a PA is.
