Anybody use a Klon(e) with a solid state amp? Worth it?

I know it's not the intended purpose/use but just curious if anyone has experienced any benefit to a Klon-type pedal with a solid state amp or amp emulation situation. There's a Rockett Audio Archer on sale at my local shop for a killer price and I'm wondering if it'd be any value. I don't think I'm ever going to go back to a tube amp. Just too loud for the foreseeable future.

I guess I could always buy it and find out. The guy at the shop kind of talked me out of it.

Thanks!

My only ss amp is for bass, but I’m thinking it would work well for certain sounds.

I don't know why it wouldn't work, it's just a fancy hard-clipping overdrive. As long as you're not just using its output volume to drive the amp into overdrive like a regular clean boost then what it's being fed into should make no difference at all.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?
