new reamp box day. sorta (auction won, in route). at about $20 over what it would cost me to build one (not couting the time it takes me to do stuff like that), not a bad deal.

I'm gonna run out the back of my focusrite scarlett into it to be able to dial in a better mic'ed tone, or at least one I can go back and tinker with if need be.
Almost got the ART dual RDB, which can blend two mics/amps into 1 signal. But I figured my OCD would kick in at that point and I'd spend hours placing two mics and adjusting the blend. Plus, the radial seemed more tried and true/solid/reviewed (and re-sellable if the whole process ends up being a pain).
My main concerns at this point are having all the levels between the DAW and the amp set appropriately while at the same time not overloading the front of the amp. There's track & master faders in the DAW, the monitor level on the focusrite, and the level on the radial. Guess I'll wing it. I did one test w/out a reamp box and it actually sounded better than I thought it would, so the reamp box should theoretically sound even better with the matching impedance and all that jazz.
Only other issue is the dumb input on the scarlett that clips when you look at it (one of the reasons I prefer the tascam us-144 mkii). Have to go through an active DI box I have with a level control to have it not clip when laying down the raw guitar, but seems to work. Hopefully it's not adding any noise.
