I've come to realize that I like the 6L6 type of sound better than the EL types. I don't need alot of volume because I live in a trailer house (paper thin walls) I really like the way my MT15 sounds. It's brutally loud though.(loaded with 5881's) So I guess I'm looking for something with 6V6's? Something with the 6L6 sound but in a low wattage amp. A head would be preferable. Do you guys have any suggestions. Thanks for the info.

I absolutely love my Carvin X100B. It runs EL34, 6L6 or 5881 tubes. The power output can be switched from 100, 50 or 25, mine sounds great at a whisper, there is a master on. The onboard EQ is flexible and it it includes a 5 - band graphic EQ. Obviously, you can not buy them new but I would suggest looking around some local stores to see if you can find one to try out. They have tons of gain and an onboard boost, you can take it as subtle or aggressive as you want. The cleans are amazing.
As far as the amp's punk DNA goes, it is what Steve Via used on the PIL disk Album

Yeah, EL34s are the anti ska tube, so agree with your approach....
My suggestion is a Marshally mid-range OD pedal into a chimey semi scoopy Fender style amp -then you get the absolute best of both worlds
Freidman BE-OD into a Deluxe RI or Twin and you are done -but thats a few hundred more than your budget -so maybe do one of the cheaper Fender versions thats going for the same thing.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

My suggestion is a Deluxe Reverb or HRD and a dirt pedal, or even a Princeton Reverb.
A Deluxe turned up enough to overdrive is loud, but relying on the pedal will free up your volume knob.|| Guitar | Wah | Vibe | Amp ||

I've been looking at the egnater tweaker 15 watt amp. It looks pretty versatile. Does anyone have any experience or know more about them?It's funny how some stories became historic,
