Preferably pre and power amps on the edge of breakup and my 15w Laney into a 4x12 does that perfectly at band practice volumes. Bit of slightly dirty boost to push it over the edge, delay repeats set really low so they're slightly cleaner than the direct sound and don't overwhelm (as clean as a DMM gets) and fuzz set to 'amp about to explode'. :D

Regarding using a clean sound with pedals - this is what I would do. I usually will run my signal via my pedals, and into a completely flat-EQ clean sound. Then, if I want filth, turn the gain up on the clean channel, until I get the bite that I want, and roll the master volume down to a suitable level, and EQ/Touch up as necessary.

Do you guys use a clean sound into your pedals?
I can't do it, I need some raunch in the amp otherwise it sounds shit to me... I know this isn't the way you're supposed to do it but it's the only way I feel comfortable playing... My clean sound is a Fender Twin with the volume on 10 and the master volume on about 4 (more like 2-3 for indoor levels), same deal on my AC15... On the Solton I never play on anything lower than 7-8 but mostly all the way up to 10... Pretty much filthy, but cleans up OK when you roll a bit off the guitar... And I can always play a bit lighter...
I don't get people using amps that sound so great when you push the tubes but only use them in piddly-widdly mode, what's the point?
