Depends on Budget.
Cheap: Joyo / Harley Benton knockoff off the Sansamp character series - e.g. the AC Tone as mentioned by @jimmyguitar. There are other pedals in the series. The AC Tone is meant to be an AC30 type tone, but there are similar pedals to give Fender and Marshall type tones. For clean sounds the American Sound might be better than the AC Tone. The Harley Benton ones are the Thomann house brand but they are rebadged Joyos.
The other cheap option is an older Line 6 Pod from Feebay. The Pod 2, Pod XT, and Pod X3 can all be had very cheaply these days.
At a slightly higher cost, you can get the Sansamps that Joyo / Harley Benton are copying, or possible something like a Line 6 HD500. I think various multiFX have cab emulation these days as well.
At the higher end of the market you get into things like Helix, Kemper, Axe FX. These are absolutely stunning.
Whatever you use, you need to think about how you will monitor it. Without an amp on stage, you will need stage monitoring. If you don't have a properly competent sound engineer, then you want a powered floor wedge with a pass through. Plug the output of whatever you are using into the floor wedge, and then take the pass through into the PA. If you have a competent sound engineer that you can rely on to not remove your guitar from the monitor, then you can chance going direct.
Any basic amp-simulation pedal like a SansAmp/AMT/Joyo will work fine for clean sounds too though.
