Favorite Clean amp in the III?

For says it on the tin "clean" I like the Tucana Clean and the Hook 1a, but also amps like a JM45 (or a plexi), AC20, or Mr Z Mz-30 with the Input Drive lower (and/or Input Trim to 0.5)... the Div/13 CJ (with cranked MV and bass turned way down) sounds great with single coils, (not so much for humbuckers though).

All that said, I think my time honored preferred clean sound in the Axe has always been the Euro Blue Vintage with the drive around 3, bright switch on, and then the MV and Presence turned up between 6-7 or so... gives a little hair when you hit it harder, but has a nice body and sparkle to it played softer.
 
What do you all love for cleans? I love the CA3 + Clean. It is perfect for that warm clean with no grit, IMO. What do you all like?

CA3+ clean but with a little grit to make it stand out in the mix.

I was into that one for a while. I should revisit it.

One thing I like on that one is turning MV up to about 7. Kinda funny since it's a preamp in real life so I'm sure the power amp distortion is totally not authentic, but I really liked it. Don't know what power amp model is used with this one...
