Recommendations for preamp or (gasp) amp/cab modeling pedals for DAW recording?

I know there are other subs for questions about guitar pedals, but I really like the community here, and I think those of you who are musicians will answer better than other subs.

I’ve long been diehard* *tube-amp owner. Recently, though, I got a Quilter amp (after seeing Ron from Bongripper with one) that’s made for amp modelers, and I plugged in an EAE Model feT pedal (an emulation of a Model T). Does it sound exactly like a real, 120db, 50lb amp head? No, but nothing but a real head is going to do that. Does it sound and feel pretty badass anyway? Yes it does, imo. Whoever made that pedal loved the Model T circuit, and there is some art inside that box.

I want to try more preamp or amp/cabinet-modeling pedals, mainly for recording on my DAW, that feel and function similarly to big doomy amps, especially ones that break up like tube amps when other gain pedals go into them. I’m behind the times on this.

I’ve looked at a few pedals like the Frost Giant Architecture of Reality (a Laney AOR preamp) and the Does it Doom Baghdad (Soldano SP77 and a Matamp 120). And then there seemingly a million other tube amp/cab modeling options (the Boss 1R-2, etc.) out there that may or not do the heavy gain/ breakup I’m looking for.

Do any of you have any suggestions? I’m totally new to this world of amp/cab emulation, so any recommendations you have will be helpful info for me. Thanks.
