Very simple, low-wattage tube circuit. Don't know anything about the Fender reissues, but there are plenty of options based on this:Fender champ circuit?

But even if there's something in his catalog I dig, I have to judge it by his whole body of work yeah? That means I don't like it I guessPretty hard to describe if you’re not super familiar with his work, but this should give an idea:
Project/Object concept - Zappa Wiki Jawaka
wiki.killuglyradio.com
Conceptual Continuity - Zappa Wiki Jawaka
As a complete Zappa obsessive, I could give you suggestions if you ever feel like checking out some of his work that might appeal to you. His discography is so absurdly vast, yk

A lot of that is woo-woo perpetuated by Zappa himself though.
When he was good, he was awesome. All that conceptual continuity nonsense was a bit much.
Again, it’s all about what YOU like, not trying to explain to other people why THEY should like it.
I don’t like grunge but for many it is important to them. I don’t likeTGP waste time trying to get people on board with what I like if they don't already.

Robert Plant could've been replaced with a keyboard and I'd've been fine with that.

If you're just looking for a small practice tube amp, the Monoprice tube amps are really not bad at all. Maybe require a bit of tweaking, but definitely not bad especially given the price (especially on sale).

I spent some time looking at the LT1054 datasheet and the duocast schematic today but I still don't really understand how it makes 27v

Isn't that monoprice tube amp some kind of cheap champ clone?

So Ive been looking at those but as @thewintersoldier says the headroom might be a problem and how well does it perform as a pedal platform?

Simulcast capacitor voltage ratings
Beyond those indicated to be 35v, what voltage rating do the other caps in the simulcast need to be?
