I know it’s over budget but this is a bit of a steal at £230ish with the code…

Single-ended, KT88… They have a really good output with cab sim that is headphones or line out. So you can crank it silently. Though I don’t think it’s doing any loading or anything. Also at 10W it’s too loud to crank in a bedroom, realistically.
They’re very good sounding amps IMO. They also did a 6L6 version and an EL34 IIRC.
I dont want the output for headphones, I just want an output so I dont have to mic it.
I know that flies in the face of 'i wanna feel the valves, maan' but I want both.
I have a Marshall VS230 which is SS.
I need valves (Im sure I dont but I havent got to use the HT60 much but it deffo is a better sound than SS)
I quite like those yamaha modelling amps that look like art deco radios but for entirely different purposes than what I actually think I need for now.
I've been looking at their Terrors, but the only one you can get below 20w was the dark terror thats like 250 second hand (poor boy here)
