I generally am after clean only, these days.
Of course there are relative measures of clean.
Once quite a while ago I had a blonde Fender Bassman, w the presence control, and a ‘52 RI Tele.
I didn’t even want reverb “distorting” that sound, which of course had its own distortion, whether I was aware of it or not (probably not, back then).
These days I want to hear a guitar’s character. Pickup types range from P-90, through mini-humbuckers, to full size humbuckers.
I like hearing character.
So far my Epi 335 is pretty generically useful (good for general gig duties), but I’m still adjusting, looking for character, for home use.
