If it helps I've got a Positive Grid Spark that I enjoy using immensely the modelling software is decent and you can get a variety of decent tones with little effort. The only drawback is for the pedal modelling you need to use your phone to switch the pedals off/on which gets a bit annoying if you're in the middle of playing when you want to lose the overdrive, however this is set to change soon as they are about to release a Bluetooth pedal unit.
Also my brother traded in his tube amps of a Yamaha THR30IIW when his nipper came along and he rates it massively it's a little bit more spendy than the spark though.

On the topic of Marshall origins, I’ve had an origin 5c for about two weeks now and to be honest I find it a bit too loud for what I expected to be able to do.
In my naivety I expected to be able to crank it in low power mode and get the typical cranked Marshall sound at reasonable volumes. How wrong was I, it’s still far too loud for home use unless I’m home alone. I decided to buy a boss sd1 in the hope of replicating the tone at lower volumes, but it’s way off. The amp only really starts to sound properly good from about 50% up on volume.
Perhaps in hindsight I should have started with a small solid state amp til I figured out what I needed after some thought, but here we are.
Currently considering picking up an orange terror stamp and good headphones for practicing when baby arrives any day now.
