I agree entirely. I had one of the previous generation Mustangs and though the cleans were very good the drive sounds were awful and it HATED pedals.
The high end ones are. I've seen plenty of pedal demos done with an Axe FX.
By all accounts the Katana takes pedals OK.
As an example, most of the Vox Valvetronix amps sound ok with pedals, but its not how they were designed to be used and their signal path design didn't have external pedals in mind.
The amps that were specifically designed for use with pedals and where the circuitry was designed for that very purpose are amps like the new Vox AV series (Analogue Valve) amps.
Having said that, I've had the use of a Spider V 60 for the last couple of weeks and I'm really impressed with it. There are eleventy billion amps and fx and most aren't great. But some models are fantastic.
I've set up 3 great patches - Twin, edge-of-breakup Deluxe and Plexi - and they sound excellent. At home volumes, anyway- no idea, but suspect like most modelling amps they'd lose a lot live. It also sounds great with the parlour acoustic - the tweeter adds a lot.
I'm very tempted to get one - its a lot of fun.
