There are a few solid state amps that claim to simulate power amp saturation but they fall very short of the mark. I would say since your amp is a modeling amp that it was made to be played at "practice" volume. You can probably run direct to a mixer from it, I would imagine, thus eliminating the need to even mic it in a live situation.

yep it has a line out, but ive never used it. To be honest i think that all amps lose a bit of quality if their cranked to the max. My opinion anyway...
