Can you recommend a good 5 watt or less tube guitar amp?

Question

I'm looking for a good tube (valve) guitar amp for home us and some light jamming. I'd prefer 5w or less, and don't really want to spend more than $750. It can be either a head or combo.

I'm a beginning guitarist, and play blues, 60's pop, and some rockabilly. NO METAL!

Answer 1

Can't wrong with a Vox Valvetronix 30 watt amp for $250...the Beatles used Vox amps back then in the 60s. If you are looking for that kind of sound..check it out. its good stuff...read the reviews too

Answer 2

I just bought an Epiphone Valve Jr, and I love it. It even sounds good through my Marshall stack, without any pedals or other junk that I'll be playing through it. =)

Have you heard the Fender Champ? That might be a way to go. Their rep is that they're pretty clean, but sweet. Might be what you're looking for, but then again, you might want to throw a Tubescreamer into the mix....
