Here's a nice utility box for home recording or even live application (if you've run into a sound guy who hates guitar amps 😠). It's a direct box but also a cab sim (4x12). It won't run off phantom power, so just power it with a 9v wall wart or a battery. Also, I added a ground lift switch that's absent in the original. If you don't want to include it, omit the 100n cap and 10Ω resistor coming off of pin 1 of the XLR and just connect pin 1 to ground. Schematic for reference.
