I haven't seen anything new that kicked the KATANA out of 1st place. I started using the Tonex pedal last year and just a few days ago got its matching cabinet. That's just under 1k in expenses. The KATANA is hard to beat for general purposes and cost.

Line 6 Catalyst

I borrowed one of these awhile back to practice with a group and I was really impressed. It also comes in 60 and 200w I believe.
