Slight dist. sound

This has probably been asked before, but if I want a slightly distorted, crunchy sound that isn't too disorted, should I spend $99 on an MXR micro amp? I want a slightly distorted-clean sound but not necessarily a volume boost. I've read about the Ibanez tube screamer being good at 'slight dist' sounds.

What about turning the contour all the way down (for the crunch) on your amp and then just adding a bit of gain?

I don't have a contour control - I use an older version of a 25R Fender Frontman which I've just recently bought 2nd hand. I never play loudly to get that 'clean cruch' sound cos I live in a small house with others who don't appreciate the sound:D . My maximum volume would probably be 1. That's why I'm investigating in dist. and overdrive pedals.
