Best amp mod to help solid state amp?

[baba o'riley]

I was wondering what would be my best bet for getting a nice variety of good sounds out of my Waller 65 watt solid state amp. I'm really only using this in my apartment as a practice amp so volume issues aren't that big of a deal. I use a Fender Cyber Twin SE when I play live. I've heard many reviews of the Podxt, Vox Tonelab, and others just like them. Anybody know which of these is the best for the money. I mostly play classic rock and blues so I'm looking for the mod that does that the best. Any suggestions?
:help:

I'd check out an ADA MP-1 on ebay. They're tube preamps and they're cheaper than any modeling processor.

john (stratdeluxer97) loves the vox valvetronix stuff.. search the boards and you'll find some pretty nice reviews hehe - i think there's a valvetronix modeller, much like a POD in it's operation.. it would warm up your tone, thats for sure..

I use a POD infront of my practise amp, works nicely

At home, I use a Behringer V-Amp2 into a small practice amp, and love it. For the money, the V-Amp2 is tough to beat!

+1 for the MP-1. I had one in a rack and I absolutely loved it.
