My neighbour left this outside their house so I guess I have a digital modelling amp now. Getting a bit late to plug it in and see if it works...

Not bad for a freebie
Celestion?

Thinking about picking some recording equipment, to muck about with, at home.

Option 1: Audio Interface

Option 2: Multitrack recorder
https://www.andertons.co.uk/tascam-dp006-6-track-digital-pocketstudio/

I'm leaning towards Option 2, as I have doubts over my laptops 'muscle' for the DAW of things (dual core Celeron 1.8Ghz / 12 gb RAM), even if I run a stripped-out/pared back version of Reaper.

Thoughts?
I'd advice going for an interface, and upgrading your laptop. You'd probably get some performance out of your current laptop for now, recording at 24bit 44.1. If there any issues, just record at 16bit 44.1 for now.

Are you planning to record vocals, and/or plug in an electric guitar directly?

Yeah I think so but the sound's got so much processing I'm not sure it makes much difference.
The speaker in the cab will always make a difference; that's one of the lower end Celestions but it should be fine.

Line 6 do great stuff. I've owned 4 of their products in the last 20 years.

I expect the fact that it's missing the back so it's now effectively open cab will more than make up for any nuances in the way it's been tuned to a specific driver.
