Can I sample my guitar while monitoring through the effect, but recording only the dry signal?
That ain't new. It's always been in there. It's pretty basic. Wouldn't use it myself as I have biasfx.
That's why I wanted to run my guitar directly from the Marshall head... A simulator effect will never compare
Unless the Marshall has a direct out then I wouldn't recommend it without a load box. Then you have the cabinet which isn't involved and will make a huge impact on tone so you will need to reamp or use an ir to emulate a cabinet.
I highly recommend checking out positive grid bias. They do a trial I believe and it sounds really good. First mesa rectifier sim I'd heard that sounded good was what won it for me. Bias is only amps but you can customise the tone loads down to different tubes/components. You can also tonematch physical amps similar to the kemper/axefx.
Biasfx has the amps and also fx but you can't tweak the amps or build your own from scratch. They are compatible so you can design an amp in bias and then import to biasfx though. Can't recommend it enough.
