To me, a bedroom amp is one that yields a good lead-guitar tone at volume levels that wouldn’t be too loud for a rhythm guitar player on an unamplified acoustic guitar.

Yes. It can do this. It has separate gain and volume, and it also has a push/pull feature that affects brightness. So the crunch can be had at low volume.
I got this right before vacation and have only an hour or so in on it, but the ability to dial in crunch at low volume really struck me as useful. It's very different from the smaller Gibson amp that won't crunch until more uncomfortable volume is reached.
