Help! Pedal amps

Horny bag of electric meat
I'm at a point where I'm thinking of getting a pedal amp. I don't like complex stuff. Forget things that I have to program. I really only want a clean sound out of it. I can use a dirt pedal of some type to dirty things up. I will probably use a OD/distortion/fuzz of some type, and 2 to 3 other pedals with it. Maybe a chorus, delay, and phaser or similar. Price is a consideration. And I really only need enough power for a small room... no more than 20 to 50 watts. I have small speaker cabs that I can match amp with. I really just want to carry around one small pedal board and a 1x10 cabinet. Nothing more. Thoughts? Suggestions? The Orange Terror Stamp looks interesting. So does the H&K StompMan. Simplicity is important. I spent my career programming things. I don't want to think to use it. Even a Spark amp was more than I wanted to deal with.
 
The Electro-Harmonix 44 Magnum is another option. You can't get much simpler than a single volume knob.
 
I think I'm just going to use my Vox MV50 Rock for the time being. I just need a right angle speaker cable. I can run that clean and send my effects through it. That's one way to save money.
 
I don’t know much about these. I think you already posted the affordable options. Laney makes an Ironheart but it’s $299. Quilter makes a SuperBlock but it’s $319. Seymour Duncan makes small class D Powerstage amps but they are not exactly pedal amps and more power than you seem to need.

I like that H&K Stompman. It sounds good in demos.
 
Don't know whether they're any good personally but I came across a Valeton 20W pedal amp on Amazon UK the other day. Silly money on there but not badly priced elsewhere. Amazon reviews and Andertons reviews are both positive. Checking Valeton's US site they do both guitar and bass versions.

Guitar version - $124.99
Bass version - $99.99
