No, I mean record your parts direct into the box, get them just how you want them, then at your leisure (like when the neighbors are away) route the recorded track to a hardware output and plug it into the amp input, and mic the amp, thereby re-amping your previously recorded and edited performance. (Just watch the gain, the output from your hardware box will be way hot. Also there are some wrinkles about impedance, but you most likely won't need to worry about that.)

If you also run the DI track through an amp sim you end up with a lot of different sounds, driven off a single performance, that you can mix back together.
