So yes, any guitar pedal can be used for any amplifier. Meaning there's no limit to the sounds you can create using pedals. But wait, just because you can, doesn't mean to slap individual pedals with any amp and expect it to sound good.

Can you use pedals with solid-state amps?
Do solid-state amps take pedals well? No not really; digital solid-state amplifiers aren't very suitable for use with pedals. Although more reliable than their valve-powered counterparts, solid-state guitar amps can sound lacking and don't deliver that indescribable feel and response that you get from a tube amp.
Are overdrive pedals good on solid-state amps?
Overdrive pedals can work on solid-state amps and tube amps equally well. I advise you to use it on the clean channel of the tube amp, although you can certainly plug this on the channel of your digital amp.
Can you overdrive a solid-state amp?
An overdrive works fine in a SS amp. Yeah it might work fine on the clean channel but its gonna get screwed up if you have some overdrive modelling on at the same time.
