That might be the ticket. It has a quarter inch in so you don’t have to use only the XLR.
Actually I just realized between my GCX audio switcher and my Boss TU-2 I might be able to achieve the D.I part
I use the Joyo active DI box and it's perfect. My setup is Macbook -> Focusrite 18i20 -> XLR to Joyo -> 1/4 to amp. I can plug my guitar directly into my Focusrite and record DI while listening to the amp at the same time, or not, and the Joyo box has plenty of switches and options to avoid ground loops or any other noise sources, so it's very quiet. Note that in order for you to get the active benefits of the Joyo, it must be done via XLR, not TRS, because it's powered by 48V phantom power (just like a condenser microphone). I actually use it in passive mode mostly though and it's still great - and only 87 bucks on Amazon today since it's one of the prime deals (if you or someone you know has prime). I haven't used it standalone, since I use it as a method to record the DI of my guitar while also listening to the mic'd amp as a monitor for what I'm playing, live. Then if I need to adjust settings, I have both the DI and the mic'd recording on my computer in two separate tracks, so I can re-record whatever I played an infinite number of times to compare to the original. Probably overkill.

If the Joyo is a bust the ART was the other choice. I’ve had some of their old school tube mic pre’s since the late 90’s. Too cheap to sell and just never got rid of them after 3 state moves and 7 house/apt moves.
