I love my AD30HTC -- enough headroom for loud cleans and my absolute favorite overdriven sound. The two channels are voiced slightly different from one another, with one having a bit of emphasis in the high/low and the other in the mids; it's fairly subtle, but useful.
The other dudes in the band have a Dual Terror and the Jim Root Terror, which sounds amazing (surprisingly) and I believe is voiced like a Rockerverb 100. They are both great but definitely don't seem capable of delivering cleans of the same ilk at the volumes I can. Admittedly, there are plenty of variables like speaker efficiency and amp configuration, but just sharing my experience.
It also doesn't seem to suffer from the oft-mentioned inability to play well with pedals. I use largely the same setup I used for many years into a Fender Vibrosonic Reverb (Twin with a 15") with similarly pleasant results. The only change was being able to ditch a few ODs I had to use in "always-on" mode since I can now rely on the amp to deliver some overdrive without sterilizing the neighbors.
