1W tube amp..?

[robthemac]

I have a Marshall Class 5 and I’m doing a trick to play it in low volume, plugging (halfway) the speaker into the headphones input, not sure if this is alright for the amp.

That sounds... brave.

I'm looking for a 1W tube amp for home, bedroom volume use.
Anyone knows if there is something out there in the market?
I have a 5w using it at low wattage mode all the time and I feel its a bit same.

"I feel it's a bit same"? .. what does this mean

Personally I would just get some kind of Boss Katana for anything at all "home use" ... nothing will sound better at low volumes

This amp is good to just crank it up properly (impossible in the apartment). He is doing good just one thing (or two).
Yes, I see these Katanas are very popular.

Plenty of people have put a VVR into the class 5 with great success, you could look at something with a good master volume if you want tube tone at lower volumes, my AC10 sounds sensational at bedroom friendly volumes!

There is a common trick with the Class5 where you use the headphone input to get lower output. Back in the day I had Ryan add a switch to mine to do the same thing without messing around with the plug.
