Help me chose among budget friendly di/preamps

Sorry that I couldn't update earlier. I shied away from Nux because I did not want to deal with computer, drivers etc. I went with Laney Digbeth. Had the chance to use it once live. I put a compressor and an octave pedal in front of it and had a pretty solid sound.

Agree about the computer part in regards to the Nux. Just want something simple

I tend to try get something I won't replace for a long time.
This tands to run less expendive in the mid to long term run.
