Well, probably no help at all but I've had a handful of tiny toob amps from VJr to H&K Cream Machine and a few others, including a handbuilt one that could do 5 to 15W...and, meh...I just get better sounds at very low volume from SS anyway, so that's what I like to use.
It's not that toob amps don't sound good, it's just that while they do, you have such a strong feeling the sound will improve if I crank it up just a touch...and can't resist doing so, and then it's already too loud. Playing them at really low volumes just annoys.
If you keep them at real bedroom volumes, that is just very frustrating. So my vote goes for Behringer GMX 110 - best bedroom amp I ever had. Tech21 TM-10 is the shaite as well, very similar and so simple you can't get a bad sound out of it.
