It might be worth your while investing in the Roland Microcube, if you've got the cash to hand, they have excellent reviews and the Roland will last a long time and always be useful as a portable Amp, the problem with the one you have is that if you're not getting anywhere near a decent sound it's going to get frustrating for you and make your playing less enjoyable, we need to hear our practice paying off and a bad sounding Amp is as big a drawback as a dodgy guitar, getting a decent practice amp will keep the motivation going and make playing enjoyable which is what it should be.
