I'll have a Ceriatone D style sooner or later.

It took me a while to bond with it, since I thought it was a bit bassy and woofy at first. However I soon came to appreciate the warmth and roundness it gives my strat, whilst still retaining that Blackface clean chime and character. No, it's not as glassy as a Twin, but IMO that's a good thing when using single coils, since the strat/Twin combination can get a bit surfy and spiky if you're not careful.
My advice would be to get down to Coda (or equivalent) and try one. I've been guilty in the past of conducting hours of internet research and review-reading, only to dismiss an amp within 30 seconds of plugging it in because it wasn't for me. Big waste of time. Other people's opinions can be useful, but mean nothing when you plug in yourself.
The Slant has magnificent BF cleans, which can break up and work towards that. In Fender terms think Dleuxe Reverb; I might be wrong but it seems like you need Super/Twin Fender tones,
In that case, Id head for a Rambler in the Carr range, or a Dr Z EZG or a Magnatone Twilighter (best clean cleans Ive evr heard). As ever, ymmv.
Owned a Dr Z Maz 18. Very loud, very clean, pedals sounded OK through it, just a bit soulless.
I currently own and gig a Magnatone Twilighter and as Waz says, it sounds beautiful for cleans and as a clean pedal platform it really excels. It is very loud by nature however there have been a few gigs where I've had it entering hairy cleans stage so if that worries you I would look up the Magnatone range for something with a bigger wattage.
Of course you also can't go wrong with a Fender Twin Reverb. Played one recently at a big gig as it was supplied by the backline company. Lovely big thing with enough clean headroom for any purpose (I was in a 7000 seater auditorium!)
