New Amp

I recently bought a Epiphone Les Paul off of Ebay that's been a blast to play. I've been playing it through a small Squier amp, you know the ones that come in the guitar bundles. Needless to say it sounds like crap! I wanted to get a better small practice amp because I live in a pretty small apartment and can't get a tube amp. I started doing some research and came across really good reviews of the Vox 15R. It looked like a great amp for under $130 dollars. I decided to check out Ebay for the hell of it, I did just get my guitar there for an amazing price. To make a long story short I ended up winning the bid for a very slightly used Vox 15R amp for $40.00!! I couldn't believe it! Now I'm impatiently waiting for it to arrive tomorrow.

If anyone else is looking for the same amp I just saw another one on Ebay that's even less. I wish I waited longer! The seller didn't list it as a 15R so it's a bit more difficult to find. I'm not sure if I can put a link here so if anyone's interested send me a PM and I'll tell you where to look.
*Just to note I have absolutly no affiliation with this seller*

    Can you recommend a good 5 watt tube amp. I'll test my neighbors patience for a while and then possibly upgrade to the tube!

    I have a Fender Champ and Vibro Champ. Most basic tube amps around - well,the VC has a tremelo circuit - and 'only' 6 Watts. They sound great! Those 6 Watts can still be pretty loud, but they're both great for home playing. My neighbor still complains cause we have very thin walls, but then again, she always complains about something.
