I am wondering what you use, and why, for practice amps at home.
 
For bass amps, I have an Ampeg BA-108 and a Blackstar Fly 3 Bass.
 
For guitar amps, I have a Vox AC4TV and a Blackstar Fly 3.
 
The Ampeg is my favorite of the group. First, it's less than $100. Second, it's perfect for practice with its 1/8" or 1/4" auxiliary input and 1/8" headphone output. The aux input is great for playing drum loops or Slacker Radio from one of the apps on my phone. It has a cut-corner back so you can angle it up off the floor, and a -15 dB pad on the input for hot active pickups. Sounds quite good for its small size and solid state amp.
 
I saw the Vox on a Musician's Friend STotD for $205 and? Yup, instant GAS. Really nice tube tone with a decent Celestion speaker. It has 3 power settings: 4 watt, 1 watt, 1/4 watt (for really bi#chy neighbors). I can't recommend the tone at 1/4 watt. Weak and thin. My only real complaint is that I wish it had a little more clean drive before breaking into distortion (starts breaking around 25-30% of input gain).
 
The Blackstar Fly amps are terrific, especially the guitar one (about $60). Both have Blackstar's ISF tone control (from British valve to American clean). The guitar amp has an Overdrive pushbutton and a variable Delay (time and level). The bass amp is similar, but with a compressor instead of a Delay. Both have 1/8" aux in/phone out jacks. And both are, of course, battery powered (an A/C adapter jack is available, as is their PSU-1 power supply).
 

Try the Vox with the back panel off. You might like the sound better. I took the speaker out of mine and just use it as a head. I feel like that little enclosed back with all particle board choked the sound. It was kind of dull and boxy sounding too.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try.
 
One thing I don't want to do is buy an amp for $200 and then replace the tubes and speaker for more than I paid for the amp.

For at home practice I spend a good deal of my time playing my guitar out of a Fender Champ 600 ...
I like the way it sounds . At the volumes I practice at which are low this little tube amp has a very nice clean glassy tube sound that is very natural and not hyped in any way ...
Most of the time I'm playing w out effects so I just run a guitar cable into it and use a headstock gtr tuner ...
 
When I want a processed guitar sound for practice or just busting a nut I will play out of a Yamaha THR5 ...
The Yamaha THR 5 is one of the best little practice amps I have ever bought ...
Not only does it have some very nice effects and sounds built in to it , it also feels like I'm playing out of one of my real tube amps when ever I play out of it ...This little amp is very responsive to fingerboard touch and playing dynamics ....for an amp Modeler it is shocking how responsive the tone and dynamics are ....
 
When ever I feel like hooking up my pedal board I love playing out of my Marshall Class 5 combo ...
The amp itself sounds fine , the thing is when I hook up my pedal board to that  amp and play an SG w P 90s
or my Les Paul ...its like a tone hounds heaven .....
 
Another honorable mention for home practice is my Vox Pathfinder 15 R ... 
The Vox Pathfinder 15 R is a wonderful sounding amp at any volume ....Fender guitars sound great played out of them ...
 
I have used both the Vox and the Marshall Class 5 for small club gigs when a louder amp / band volume was not welcome ...some of the small rinky dink places I used to play at ....
 
all the best ,

For home practice, I've got:
Vox Pathfinder 15 - not bad sound, not great.  Low-cost.
Line6 Spider 2x12 - good sound (considering i can't afford the amp i want), but it's LOUD.  On the upside, you can dial in the overdrive to compensate for having the Volume at 1.
Irig UA - this is the most common one.  Plugs into my phone, with earbuds.  Works with both guitar and bass, so i'm set.

Blackstar ID:15TVP
 
My guitar skills do not warrant anything else...

Mostly I just play thru my DAW with sims.  When I want to get back and away with no intention of recording anything, my Yammy THR10 is what I use.  Phenomenal little amp, IMO

I have several Vox amps but im mostly a Marshall amp person.
At the present what im using for the bulk of my recording is a Jet City 20 with some mods done to it.
I like it because it is small, breaks up easy, has a Marshall tone to it and handles pedals well.
I also prefer a head right now over a combo because I own a slew of cabs and speakers.
My favorite being the Soldano 2X12 with V30's in it. While it might not seem practical for bedroom recording, if you want something to sound amazing, you need something amazing.
 
My other amps include:
the Vox amps are Valvetronic series: VT50AD - VT30 and a Cambridge 30R (that is in the repair stage)
the Marshalls amps are: Marshall lead 12 mini stack 1986 - Marshall master lead 30 - Marshall DSL 15H
1959 Silvertone organ tube amp 5 watts. Peavey 6505+ and around 5 other solidstate amps (Fender 15R, BC Rich 15, exc, exc).
 

i have such and excellent master volume on my 60 watter,
i've never needed another amp just to practice.
 
in fact, when i 'practice' (which is almost never) i usually play without an amp.
that is the best way to practice, anyway, you can really hear what you are doing.
 
if i just HAD to have a standalone amp just for practicing,
i'd get this:

A friend of mine just bought this, I thought it was a bit overpriced and it doesn't have any way to use a foot switch to scroll the pre sets. But it sounded very full for the size and certainly easy to use. It looks cool with the front having an orange glow even though there are no tubes.

Myself in the studio and on stage I use my 73 Fender Princeton but I think I will retire it from live duty as I think I want to start looking after it. I bought a Blackstar ID 260T and find it's a pretty good replacement for live shows. I don't really use the effects because it's to hard to set compaired to my stomp boxes. I will need to get the footswitch to do that properly. But for the studio I still use the Princeton miked up. I tried the Blackstar via mini jack output :(   and it's OK but not my sound. I mike it up for live as the mini jack is noisy. So minus points for not having a proper output. 
 

 
For Bass I've had a few good very small things like the TCBH 250    http://www.tcelectronic.com/bh250/
 
But now I use a Fender Rumble 100. It's XLR output is very quiet and I get just the tone I'm after. I like using the amp as a monitor as I play, much better than suffering the output of my NMS 10's.
