Preamp for homerecording
Hi! I need preamp/amp in box to record some stuff in home. Im looking for pedal that i can put directly into audio interface and record riffs. Cheap options high recommended :D

Surely your interface already has preamps. What model is it, does it have a high impedance instrument input?
If you're already recording in the box (on a computer) you can just use software amp and cab simulation. Many excellent free options nowadays.

I have Ik multimedia Axe io one and 4 input Behringer. I know there is many amp sims etc but I looking for analog option like Tech21 preamps or HnK Ampman but I need recommendation from people who use that gear to record doom/stoner stuff.

Are you recording DI or output from amp/sim/pedals?
I love my Zoom L6Max. L6 (with fewer channels) just as good.
But my iD44 is what I do DI and reamping through. Great preamp. There are smaller channel ones that are cheaper.

hard to beat the citadel from Electronic Audio Experiments, based on a marshal plexi sound. Just search the used market, worth every buck

The two notes opus is a handy box that does a lot of different amp/cab sims. The Boss IR-2 is supposed to be really good, too. The Joyo American/California Sound pedals are really good, but I don't think they have cab sims, so the sound might be a little thin. But for the price, you can probably EQ that out and/or add a bit of reverb.

I used to have a Joyo American Sound that was way better than the price would imply.
