No line out on amp

Yeah but then it only plays out of the headphones and not the amp

If you're recording the direct signal only it makes no sense to monitor through the amp, since that sound isn't what you're actually recording: the speaker itself effects the sound dramatically, and the line out will sound markedly different.

Use your monitors, that's what they're there for :thumbsup:

It's a modelling amp (including speaker sim), so the speaker may well be pretty uncoloured, or the modelling designed to work with it.

But I am still not 100% what the OP is trying to achieve, but speaker simulated output over USB seems to be possible from this amp.
 
Page 1 of your owners manual:

1. USB
Connect via USB to use CODE as a DAW interface...

To record with CODE using your DAW:
• Connect to your computer via USB.
• Select your CODE amplifier as the input
source on your computer and within
your DAW.

Your other options are:
1) Use the headphone output (which mutes the speaker).
2) Take it apart and connect a DI with speaker level input between the amp and speaker.
3) Mic it.
4) Buy a different amp.
 
On a related note, I have older Traynor tube amps with only speaker outputs. Somehow this thread inspired me to finally figure out that it is easy as can be to get a clean signal directly off the amp by running a second signal to the speaker level input of my DI box.

Of course the amp still has to run to a cab so that it sees a proper load. The YSR-1 sounds really great this way at least for a clean guitar or bass sound. I had tried something before taking the level down using a simple voltage divider circuit on the output, but I got line hum from shared ground paths.
