To chime in again.....I think that Top 40 bands/combos could surely take advantage of 3 Amp Blocks and 4 channels each. (Though I've yet to gig with my AxeIII)
I'm frequently confronted with various clean tones, dirt, overdrive, crunch, various background solos, clean solos, dirt solos, fat leads and over the top hi gain solos.....within one tune.
A taste of my current song list not to mention my old stuff still in play:
