Recording Guitar At Low Volume

Blackstar Artist
My amp has an emulated output that I run directly into my Focusrite.

If I turn the Master Volume to zero, I get the amp and the pedals dead quiet and I monitor through cans.
If I want to hear the amp, I just turn the Master up and I can hear just the amp or the amp and the desktop monitors if I turn off the headphones.
Either way I'm good to go.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is if one has no amp to interface connectivity or no amp at all, you can just run your guitar through your pedals and directly into the interface and monitor the whole thing with headphones.
That eliminates the need for direct boxes, sim boxes or plugins.

I did that for several weeks before I got my Blackstar and it worked just fine.
