Using the Vox AC4 design as a starting point, he designed it for my purposes with a 1/8 watt output, the amp works very well as a bedroom amp. It is still a bit loud through my JBL K-120 (101 dB) but works well with the 10” Veteran speaker from Warehouse Guitar Speaker which is less efficient (93.84 dB) and therefore not as loud.

That looks really cool.
I picked up a Gibson Goldtone GA-5 Les Paul Jr. with a Jensen CR8 installed. The amp has good clean tone, and dimed it screams. But it doesn't get much growl until it is way too loud. I needed to put it behind a closed door to play it dimed. It will be a useful amp, but I'll need to use a pedal with it at home.
I think something like your little amp might be the right solution.
