I'd prefer software solutions (open source ofc) over hardware, but if I'd buy anything--that'd pretty much be it. However I still have my doubts. Because that's more than just analyzing and amplifier and duplicating it--it extends the control with 50 other knobs and tuners. Do I trust other engineers? not all the time I would just like it to do some "simple" system identification and correction stuff, then apply a given linear + non-linear dsp effect profile for amp. In other words, start with an arbitrary amp, clean it up, then make it dirty in just the right way. If you already have the amp, you can work ahead through steps 1&2 in the lab, and goto step 3. But if you're working on step 3, and you don't have a clean channel to begin with, then you're blind as to what the combined effects are going to be.
