An amplifier like in this article does just one of the many things a normal combo guitar amp does.
1. Preamp with hi-Z input from guitar to line level
2. Ability to drive into distortion
3. EQ of some sort
4. (Sometimes) reverb
5. Amplify line to speaker level (this article)
6. Midrangey speaker+cabinet that sounds nothing like a normal flat speaker cabinet used for HiFi/PA/keyboard/etc.
However, as others have said, you can use a guitar modeler which performs steps 1-4 outright and simulates step 6 leaving only a need for step 5 and a "normal" speaker.
