What are some 5watt tube amps that handle overdrive and distortion pedals well? I ask because I heard that some tube amps don’t handle overdrive or distortion pedals well like Vox amps.

Re: 5watt tube amps for overdrive and distortion pedals.
I've been getting great tones from my AC4 with distortion pedals. I think the issue isn't so much the amp as it is the right pedal for the amp. If you already have a pedal you love, take it with you when you try out amps. See if they mesh well together before purchasing.

Re: 5watt tube amps for overdrive and distortion pedals.
I have an AC15, you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig. My Bugera is a transformer. I use a metal pedal it turns into a metal amp. I use an overdrive, it turns into a marshall. AC15? Not so much.Crash49 - my music on amazon and itunes

Re: 5watt tube amps for overdrive and distortion pedals.
I've been playing my Fender Bassbreaker 007 through a Bassbreaker 112 cab (with the Celestion V-type speaker).
Works great with: TS-9 RI, MXR '78 Custom Badass Distortion (my favorite with that amp and cab, actually) and a Fulldrive 3. Not bad: Boss Blues Driver and Vox Satchurator.

Re: 5watt tube amps for overdrive and distortion pedals.
I have the Bugera G5 infinium. I push a 1x12 cab with a Greenback. Love it, has a tasty gain channel.
I'll run my TS9 and Tumnus Deluxe through both the gain and clean channels. Also, has an effects loop,
reverb, foot switch and can be set to 5, 1, or .1 watt. It's a great little amp.
