lol, there are 2 of the ms-2s in my home, one mine, one brothers. those are power stuff, considering they run on batteries and are so light. usually i have every knob at full and the amp in the overdrive channel. it should be loud enough for bedroom playing, and i think it'll do pretty good in the scenarios u mentioned. also, the 9v batteries last a pretty long time b4 they start conking out, so its pretty good value for money imho.
