I see that the Valveking has two dedicated channels. I'm sure you will be able to get a good clean sound with the amp volume on 3 or something.
Keep in mind that tube amps are really loud. I can't even use a 15 watt amp at home without annoying the neighbours. And if you turn the volume really low, the speaker will not move enough air to generate a nice, full sound. It is a universal problem for all home players.
My solution: headphones 
I am fortunately able to play in a friends soundproof room a few times a week. There you can be as loud as you want...... |
I leave my volume around 3-5...no louder. Although that tone is tough to get. I was playing a 22 watt Fender for awhile that was super clean, then added an SD1 overdrive pedal and that got the tone right...but I play a Les Paul so it tends to sound muddy anyway...I dont prefer Strats or Teles anymore...so I need to graduate to the Turner 1 soon!
