The V40 sounds very good with a Klone slamming the front end or boosting a clean tone, has a lovely thick warm mid range sound.
I use it as a pedal platform with a Zilla Fat Baby (g12-65 speaker). Have used it for home, rehearsals and gigs.
Pretty settled on a simple pedaltrain nano+ rig consting of:
Mini Poly Tune
Wampler Dual Fusion
Wampler Tumnus
Wampler Ego Mini Compressor
Deep Blue Delay
With these pedals I've covered country, blues, rock and jazzy stuff.
Personally I love it, it'll be with me for some time.
Technically a blackface twin does a loud clean sound but, for me, a Marshall JCM 800 is a better clean pedal platform as some distortion and fuzz pedals sound like broken glass through such trebly amps.
I wonder if the popularity of blackface amps is the reason overdrive and distortion pedals seem to be voiced smoother and less "big" than they used to be.
So you can choose pedals based on the amp or vice versa but, for me, q clean platform amp is not just loud and clean but has a powerful eq section that can add or remove high treble content and tighten or loosen the bass.
