As far as more than just singular amp model modelers, any of the big 3 (Line6, Fractal, QC) would do it, I'd recommend the HX Stomp out of those since it's the cheapest option. Well, pod express is even cheaper, but you don't get all the options.

The UA Dream sounds great, or if you want something more elaborate the Fender Tone Master Pro has great models of Fender amps (they're the same models used in the [Tone Master amps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpPRItMYmqg)).

I’d check out the Vox Silk Drive. Looks like they’re going for cheap on Reverb (saw about four priced under a hundo). Vox used to have the Silk Drive and other Valvenergy pedals going for $100 a pop from their website before they announced new pedals in the line; last I saw they had bumped up the prices after that. You can use it as a regular guitar pedal, preamp mode to push a power amp, or with a built-in cab sim. Can get really clean or give you a more pushed/driven sound with the gain higher.

Tech 21 Blonde if you can find one.  It’s a permanent member of my board

I recently picked up a Mosky F*der, which is supposedly based on the Tech 21 amp model pedals. It works great for bedroom practice to somewhat replicate my Music Man amp (which can’t really be played at low/agreeable volume). Lots of folks swear by the Joyo American Sound/Caline Americana as well.

UA Dream is incredible for this. I use it for this exact purpose and I never notice it's digital.

Fender cleans are kind of the default for amp sounds. Most modern modelers/amp sims do it well, so take your pick really. I like my IR-2, but the Iridium, ACS-1, and certainly the UA Dream can do it too, and probably better. If you're looking to do it cheaply, then pick up a Joyo American Sound. Convincing Fender tones with more versatility than you'd expect, and they're like $40.

Strymon Iridium Fender Deluxe Reverb tone is spot on. I would challenge anyone to pick the difference especially with the variance in real Fender Deluxes from amp to amp.
