In place of the Two Notes Torpedo CAB I'm now using a Palmer PDI-09 for speaker simulation, and a Walrus Fundamental Reverb for, er, reverb. I had previously discounted speaker sim DI boxes based on my experiences when I first got an RD pedal, but having tried the the Palmer again I find it works brilliantly well. I have dialled in a nice Spring sound on the Walrus, and now have a range of sounds that I can be proud of. I'm looking forward to gigging this tomorrow night when I stand in on rhythm guitar with Dire Streets.
I can go balanced direct into the desk from the Ampster with a choice of 2 analogue cab emulations and/or directly into a guitar amp without going through the Ampster circuit at all.

(1) Sonicake IR ordered from eBay - inexpensive IR loader with both 1/4in jack and XLR outputs.
(2) Runoff Groove Condor - DIY build analog cab sim, to which I’ll add a balanced line output via a transformer. I have all the parts for this except for a particular J-FET, also now ordered.
It does feel like a never-ending quest to achieve the best solution!
And it really is a never-ending quest. isn't it? I'm not looking for convenience with a "go direct" solution, I'm looking to take as much control as I can for my live sound without having to listen to fizzy amp modellers and IRs.
Tuner > Pitch Box > Magus > Stomp > IronHeart> Stomp > IronHeart then straight to cab
The Stomp and IronHeart live in 4CM so I can have blocks in front of and in the FX loop of the IronHeart.
Hotone used to add extra footswitches to the Stomp.
Left fs for patch changes, rh fs for tap tempo and reverb on/off.
This frees the GTK buttons for effect switching.

At the studio we practice in it's usually an aging Marshall 4x12 or a Line6 4x12. At home my H&K 2x12.
