I picked up a couple of the Boss Katana amps. I never would believed I could fall in love with a solid state amps, but the 100 watt has 8 channels, and they're all programable. The 50 watt has 4 channels, same deal. The only thing you have to mes with when you set up is the master volume, and that doesn't change the tone of what you've programed. It also comes with 50 effects, that are also programable. I've been using both of them with a Live Wire Solutions A/B/Y box, and the tone is consistently the best I've ever got. No running back to the amp adjusting the tone every time I change the volume. Best of all, both amps came to a grand total of around $570. They don't sell like hotcakes, hotcakes sell like them! I'm still keeping my pile of Fender amps, but I won't be parting with these any time soon either!
