A Harley Benton or similar guitar paired with a 100 Euro audio interface plugged into a computer that runs Neural Amp Modeler has been the perfect setup for me https://www.neuralampmodeler.com/
My experience is that amp simulators sound pretty close to a valve amp, but they don't feel and react to your playing like one. This may or may not matter to you. That said, you are never going to be able to turn up loud enough to get the sound in an average apartment, and digital works better for me volume
