Perhaps since you already have the Cube SS modeling amp And you think you may really want "interesting" cleans, perhaps consider switching gears altogether, and consider a nice tube amp. For a bit more money $470 The Bugera Infinium V22 1X12 combo https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...tube-combo-amp Or for a bit less money $233 The Bugera V5 Infinium https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/V5Infinium--bugera-v5-infinium-5-watt-1x8-inch-tube-combo-am I don't own either of these but If I were looking for a sub $500 amp these would be at the top of list BUT BE FOREWARNED (and admitting being a tube kind a guy). Once you go tube, much like the Hotel California, "you can check out anytime you like,,, but you can never leave".

Fender mustang is pretty good stuff for noodling and practice, I’ve got and older one and enjoy it when I need something super portable to take to a friends house or just mess around on the couch, fender seems to update the app fairly often so that’s a plus... the Boss amps look pretty good too, never tried the Marshall...

Been using bias amp for over 5 years now. Very serious modeling engine. |

Fender Mustang GTX50 or Marshall Code 50

I don’t see where’s the debate about it. It is a modeling amp because of the simple fact that it has digitally processed tube amp tones. Just because it’s not like a mustang which has names of Fender amps in their models, doesn’t mean that the Katana doesn’t model popular tube amp tones. I used to have an older Marshall MG250DFX. Now, that was by definition a solid state amp with effects. It didn’t try to model different tube amp tones. It had a clean channel, and overdrive channel which tried to mimic a tube Marshall tone, and 3 digital effects (reverb, chorus, and delay). |

Would Bias Amp benefit me all that much beyond Bias FX?

I'm happy to participate on this forum. All the help I already have got.
WOW! So, the original question in this thread is now colourued by variety of models and amp tones. Now, since @KevWind introduced the tube Bugera and tubes produces a nice "clean" and I like "clean" (probably won't experiment with other tones much), I am ready to turn over to the tube side ...

And I agree with the earlier poster, it's not like it really matters. They are great little amps for what they are, excellent value. |

If you enjoy great cleans the Fender Champion line of amps do stellar cleans. Others to consider are the Roland JC-22 and the DV Mark Jazz amps. Good luck in your search.

Like any product there are mixed reviews for them, but for the most part the consensus seems to be that they are pretty incredible for what they are. I was actually going to purchase one and thought better of it. I'm just starting my electric journey after messing with acoustics for many years. With this said I decided to place my bucks into the guitars themselves for now and use what I already have for a preliminary "amp" setup (Ipad pro, an audio interace, a speaker setup, and some relatively cheap Positive Grid Bias FX 2 software). This decision has worked out incredibly well so far. Shockingly well actually. After some research the plan is to eventually put the money I would have spent on a Katana or similar into what I think is more the direction I want to go longer term: Kemper amps. My assessment is that profiling is where it is at if you want to "do digital", not modelling. I have watched many videos and read a lot in my research. Many enthusiasts and professionals will tell you that with profiling they cannot tell the difference between tube and not. With modelling it is a lot easier to hear the difference. Very different technologies. There is no comparison. Just watch some of the comparisons and reactions people have to the technology out there. It's pretty remarkable stuff.

Lol. Yeah, they’re a serious piece of kit. You need to know what you are doing when you buy something like that, and you should probably have some skills on the electric guitar to go along with it. I have neither so I will sit on the Kemper sidelines until that time comes...
