How Do I Record a Real Amp?

I guess this would depend on the interface you have now(the need for the focusrite). Or are you starting with nothing?
 
what are you recording to? list all the gear you already have and are planning on using to record.
 
Probably easier to show you with a diagram. Then just a PC running Windows 7/Axe-Edit and I've used Audacity (it's free) to record direct from the Axe-Fx.

you need a mic - place it on the AC30 speaker just like at a gig
you need an audio interface - this takes the mic signal and converts it to digital, which then goes into Audacity. most are USB and most have the mic preamp you need for the mic.
xlr cable connects the mic to the audio interface.

that should be it.
