Yup, looks like it would be well suited for your needs. Are you looking at the Mini-Brute, or the Mini-Bruite II? I'd go for the II myself, since it's got more gain options. I've never played one myself, and I'm definitely no jazz guitarist, but it looks like it's geared for what you're looking for, and at only ~25lbs. it would be very easy to haul around.
