From the looks of it - that gizmo you linked to will allow you to play through your amp, and send the audio signal into your computer/hardward interface simultaneously....it will not help your amp audio into the computer. That can only be accomplished by mic'ing your guitar cabinet, unless you have a modeling amp with a Direct Out - in which case you can run your amp into a hardware interface via XLR - however, it will not be the same as recording your amp....in other words, there will be differences between the Direct Out of a modeling amp and how it sounds mic'ed. IMHO - nothing can emulate a physical speaker pushing air. That's not to say that you can't get sounds that YOU like and YOU find usable from modeling hardware or software.....it's all a matter of taste. I have some presets on my Pocket Pod that I would record with....maybe not for a final version, but certainly for demo or quick overdubs on someone else's project.
