To get rid of a PRRI for a Blues Cube would certainly be a rather, ah, unusual choice.

Also, I've seen people above recommending modeling amps. I don't agree. I bought a Fender Champion 40 a short while back as a companion to the Super Reverb. At the time I was also thinking of a Fender modeling amp. Someone on here gave me some advice which made me decide on the Champion 40 immediately. He said (paraphrasing) "If you want to play with an amplifier, get the Champion. If you want to spend your time playing with a computer, get the modeling amp." Nuff said, for me.

Bought a Frontman 212R about five years ago for the same reason: big power for big shows, Fender blackface clean in spades (I'm mostly a clean player anyway), serviceable if not great OD (sounds better with certain guitars than others), 30% lighter than the Super - and although it'll never have the same sweet tube mojo my back and my wife will both be happier for it...

A Fender Mustang GT 40 is a modeling amp (Wi-Fi Capabilities, Bluetooth, Smartphone App, USB Connectivity, Stereo Power, and Onboard Looper). A Champion 40 is not a modeling amp, though it has a few settings to emulate other types of amps.

https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/guitar....html?rl=en_US "AMP MODELING This amplifier features digital amplifier modeling encompassing a variety of amp types old and new, U.S. and U.K., and more. From classic Fender amp sounds to modern designs voiced for specific styles (i.e., metal), it’s just like having several amps in one."

Should I??? - No!

To get the pushed amp tones at low volume levels you're looking for, I'd suggest picking up the Electro-Harmonix Soul Food. It is a fantastic boost/overdrive pedal, and by using different volume and drive settings you can get a remarkable range of pushed tube amp tones without rattling your windows. The combination of the PRRI and the Soul Food will sound incredible. I'd also add a reverb pedal if you're truly unhappy with the PRRI's verb. I have tried and tried, with an open mind, to find a solid state solution to electric guitar amplification. Unfortunately, I think there is just no substitute for tube amps. The Roland Blues Cube Artist, the Boss Katana, and other high-end solid state amps are great...but they just are not a substitute for a great tube amp. Of course, YMMV.

You seem to be very confused about what a modeling amp is. None of the things you listed as constituents of "modeling" have anything to do with amp modeling The one you did mention (settings to emulate...) is actually the one that shows that it is a modeling amp.

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...6.5-inch-combo but they DO NOT refer to the Champion 40 as a modeling amp, but just say that it has "Selectable Amp Voicing", a very different thing. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...inch-combo-amp

Well said Ed In Ohio. The Soul Food is quite good. I have a TC Electronic MojoMojo OD pedal now. I had the Soul Food With a different amp. I like the Mojo a lot but I may need to add the SF back for some extra sauce! I clearly had a “what was I thinking?!” moment with my PRRI. My favorite amp of all time is the Super Reverb but my house is not a stadium [emoji4] The PRRI to me is a shrunken Super Reverb.
