Hey
I´ve been thinking of getting an Axe Fx for quite a while now to integrate it in a Rack next to a "Friedman SmallBox" and some analog effects. Due to the fact, that I really, really love tube amps and that I am a bit old-fashioned in that perspective, I don´t want to completely give up the amp head. BUT I absolutely want to take full advantage of all the functions the Axe is capable of... My rig needs to offer a huge variedness since I play pretty much every single stage-size from very, very small to very, very big in Coverband, as well as in a touring-band environments.
Is it possible to route this setup in a kind of way, so I can use the Axe as an effects-processor, both in front, as well as after preamp (in the fx-loop of the amp)!?
+ Use it as an amp sim in certain presets only (if I want to do so; maybe switch with an amp gizmo!?)
+ Use the Axe as a kind of "Load-Box" or "Cab-Sim" on the smaller stages, when there´s no space for bringing out my speaker, so I can leave all presets on the mastermind (by "rjm") and axe fx the same and adjust only one global setting, or maybe reroute one or two cables on the patch-bay of the rack. In that way, the Axe would function as an effects-processor on one hand, but also as a cab sim/loadbox/di for my tube-amp on the other.
I want to apologize in advance if these questions are totally stupid and this routing is absolutely impossible, but I am really interested if this whole setup would be possible/practical in a live-rig
Thank you for your help and your suggestions.

PS: I also want to apologize for the broken English - hope it´s not too bad
