i have a 5-watt Blackheart which i really like. What would be its counterpart in a low-watt Marshall type amp for crunchy rythmn?

It can be any brand as long as it can get a ballpark vintage 60'-70's tone... and has to be made with tubes!! Price range not going into those of incredibly expensive boutique studio amps please. (Thats what i like about the BH... great bang for the buck.) Prefer a head max-ing around5-10 watts. Price around $300?

BTW is it more difficult to produce a low-cost Marshall sound? Seems like i see tons of Fender inspired knock-offs in the small tube amp market.

thanks!
