Roland JC22 or JC40?

HELP

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new amp again

Firstly I'm pretty much a bedroom player

A few years ago now I had a fender blues jr IV that I idiotically swapped for a katana 50 and some cash - the headphone input and power settings were a selling point for me which I still regret

The katana just hasn't been doing it for me I play with pedals but I also really like a nice clean tone as a platform so I want to upgrade - I was looking at blues jr's again and marshall valve combos but again I think these will be way too loud for bedroom playing

So after doing some research I stumbled upon the Roland JC22 which seems like the perfect amp for my situation but for €200 more I can get a JC40

  • JC40 has 2x10" speakers the JC22 has 2x6" speakers
  • JC40 also has a built in vibrato which isn't super super important but a nice touch also

Any other amps suggestions around the 500-600 mark are welcomed, the main things I need are :

  • Headphone input for night time playing
  • Nice clean sound and takes pedals well
