Might as well just grab this if it's just for late night practise. The cleans sound fine and you can dial it as a full range power amp for gain pedals.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

You still got it
Yep, it's been great.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Yeah I get that
Prob looking at clean to noodle with at night with the availability to chuck a pedal in front for a bit of lead tone
As I've got the multiamp and cab for the kids away days :)
katana clean is outstanding
Yup, using mine for exactly what you are after, and the 0.5w mode is what it's in all the time, one I get back into gigging it won't be, but for two kids and wife and my own hearings sake it's perfect!!

For a non booteeky amp or non Fender clean sound, a DSL has a pretty good clean tone. Hiwatt cleans can be nice if you want to spend more.

I find clean channel as a pedal platform for gain pedals is best pushed to the edge. Much fatter and natural sounding, so lower watt amp may be best huh?

p.s. I played a Quilter a few weeks ago. Clean as a whistle thru to a kind of fuzzy overdrive at full tilt, but I was not really taken by it. it puts out a quality tone, but it was not fun or inspiring to play like some good amps are. The owner loves it and kept asking what i think. I am not a good liar and could not hide my lack of enthusiasm
