If it can't be steampunk
then make mine one of these.
The Honeytone Twin will make boogie sound like surf without the hiss and it's green.

I use a Peavey Nashville 112. On the back there is a jack for headphones. There is also a preamp out, CD input jack,I can connect to my computer. This way I can hear both my amp and music from my computer or other sources with the headphones. There is no sound coming out of the computer, or the amp. The only thing my wife can hear is my picks hitting the strings. She's happy.

My choice would be a Roland X-80. Small enough to be a practice amp, and strong enough to play most gigs. I use mine every week,for lead guitar, but I sometimes play steel through it also. Has all the effects on it, so you don't have to carry around a peddle board. Does a great job whatever I put through it. -Jake-

You can't get more compact than this tiny Korg Pandora PX3 effects unit/headphone amp (about 3" x 5" x 1").
I plug the guitar into the input jack, headphones to the output jack, CD player to the Aux. input, set the effects to "Country" for a nice reverb, and practice away without bothering the family.
It even has a "phrase trainer" that can record up to 16 seconds of music in a "loop", which you can then slow down by as much as 75% without changing the pitch!
You can use it as an in-line effects unit, since it has dozens of effects built in.
The PX3 is an older model, available used online for as little as $39. Buy an AC power adapter for $10 (the batteries wear out pretty quick), and you're all set.
I had a PX3 for years until I dropped it one too many times, so I bought another one about 3 years ago for about $50. Works great. (I now use a rubber band to lash it to the guitar peghead so it doesn't fall onto the floor.)

I use a Roland Micro Cube, about a foot square and weighs a couple of pounds. You can plug into AC with an adapter, but I run mine with 6 AA batteries and they last more than the advertised 20 hours. I play this setup out while camping and don't need electricity to practice with my steel. And it has a pretty decent sound.

Haha Don. Just one less thing to have to pack! But hard to get the exact right height, thus the pillow.
