Nah. Honestly, I'm not convinced by the teeny tiny valve amp thing. I have a OG Champ with a Weber speaker in it and it sounds great but even 5w with the volume on 4 is going to bother the neighbours. I need something that does passable clean and gain sounds at conversation levels and i'm not convinced that even 1w valve amps do that. To my ear these micro-tube things all sound boxy as all hell. Which can be a good sound in some applications, but that's all they do. Don't get me wrong, I'ma massive valve amp snob, but for this particular application, I'd rather have something that does a range of emulated sounds through a couple of tiny full range speakers... Think i'm going to go back to the Yamaha which seems to tick all those boxes.
