Personally I think a 40 watt tube amp is going to be a lot to handle for a noobie. I'd go for a mustang 1. Of all the amps I have this (I believe) would fit he bill. You can fit headphones and practice because it's gonna be a while before the family will want to listen, playing electric is a different ball game. :D

A mustang 1 is great for playing at home. It will never be a collectible and it wouldn't last on the road but for what it is ( a cheap, versatile, cut rate amp ) it's hard to beat. Don't buy too much into the tube hype. A tube amp cost far more money and it ain't going to make you sound any better. (let the backlash begin).

For guitar, I recommend lots of try before you buy.
