Just get the Blues Junior and adjust the master volume for distortion at family friendly levels.
My advice is to disregard the (mis)information on
http://www.amptone.com/index.html . That site messed me up too when I first started getting into tube amps about 10 years ago. Just concentrate on playing your guitar and having fun! You don't need an attenuator, 3 EQ pedals, overdrive pedal, and the dozens of other items suggested by amptone in order to get a good tone. All you
need is guitar-->cord-->amp. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
