The real made in UK Genalex are very expensive 1989 got a matched quad for $1200.00 easy to spot dual getter
used them in green hornet #1 & #2 KT77 I don't know much about new production tubes JJ/Telefunken hold up well
they don't sound good and the regular JJ don't last.

Actually if you add an output jack @Clockworkmike and run the little Mustang into a 1x12 or even a 4x12 --- I think you might be really (happily) surprised... I know I was. --- no it will not replace a wall of Marshalls-- but it can be a barrel full of fun and happiness.....fer stupid cheap.....

ALSO -- I would mention in your quest for digital knowledge.... try running the modeler pedal into a studio monitor rig
or -- work on dialing in the global settings of your "unit" --- they need to be set very very differently for running into an amp vs into a monitor -- and adjusted yet again for straight to DAW --
