Theres nothing wrong with running od/distortion/fuzz through solid state amps. It simply depends on the amp you run them through. Generally, digital amplifiers will not take as pedals nearly as well as your bog standard, ultra clean tube/valve or normal ss.
Overdrive pedals are never said to be excellent with solid state because the VAST majority of those buying overdrive pedals use them to "push" the tubes into overdrive.
If you want a Muff, go for it. I doubt you'll keep that little amp for long as well y'know, simply consider your pedal collection, current or growing when you change..
