It's the Zoom G3Xn. It does have a headphone jack which I use sometimes but I don't always feel like wearing them.

Yeah that's why I'm leaning towards the Monoprice. It comes with the attenuator and will let me experience a tube amp to see if I even like it or not without breaking the bank. I thought about just going over my budget some and getting the Laney cub but from the reviews it doesn't seem like it's much better than the Monoprice considering it's over twice the cost.

So do you feel like the tube amps with the attenuators are still too loud? Or still don't produce the same sound as it would cranked at higher wattage?

Good attenuators cost money, but if you can afford it, they’re fantastic. I played on a badass Dr. Z tube amp with an attenuator and it sounded incredible at volumes I could easily sing over unmic’d. However, that was a $3k+ rig.

I think that solid state amps give you the best low-volume sounds on a budget. You can, for about $300, get a pretty good tone at low volumes. I am never making recommendations for top tier gear, but rather for beginners and intermediate hobbyists.
