Good amp, and having owned it for sometime am perhaps more sentimentally attached to it than I realised when I so glibbly purchased it’s replacement
Alternatively for a home only amp the Roland cubes are still Excellent

For almost exactly the same price, the Orange Crush 60 sounds far better - I’ve been using those in a practice room, they take pedals really well, both on the clean (more Fender-like) channel and the dirty (more Orange/Marshall-like) channel if you set it for a clean sound (volume up full, gain about 9 o’clock). Easily loud enough to gig with but sounds good turned down too.

For straight-up home use, I've found that any options (choice of sound!) become a barrier to actually playing the damned guitar. I'd really like to go back to the days where I switched it all on and then was ready to go, because then the playing - rather than searching for a sound - became the main thing. I've got a bit more disciplined recently, using a couple of sounds of the Mustang I and trying to ban myself from fiddling with tones during any kind of home playing.
I've had all sorts of stuff at home (from the big 100W amps and 4x12 cabs) and the quality of sound is always compromised by something, whether it is latency from the amp models on GarageBand, option paralysis (and overall not sounding quite so good) from the Mustang, the odd voicing of amps designed to go at 115dB played at 70, or indeed the way that the attenuator doesn't quite get you there in the 70-odd dB range.
The Mustang is the best compromise at home for me, but if I didn't have the option of keeping amps at the studio or a separate amp at home, I'd bring home my Deluxe (non-Reverb) combo and accept the low volume compromises.
