I recently picked up an electric guitar, and am using a Fender Mustang I amp a friend loaned my son. It is not a bad amp, per se. But it has built in effects that cannot be turned off, it is nice having the effects because I do not have any pedals yet. But I would like to be able to play clean sometimes.

I am looking for something about the same size. Maybe a bit bigger. It is a 1-8โ€ 20 watt amp. Maybe something around the 50 watt area. If it has built in effects I am only interested if they can be turned off.

Bonus if anyone knows if it is possible to turn off the effects on this one.

Are we supposed to include a guitar tax here?

As other people said, Boss Katanas are the benchmark product of this cathegory, it's hard to do better.
The Roland Cube is an old but gold that can be found for dirt cheap on the second hand market, there are both a 20 and a 40 watt version.
A friend of mine found herself to be very happy with the Blackstar ID Core, which also has a 20 and a 40 watt version
