Since you posted this in September I'm guessing you already bought something. But for what its worth. I would recommend you pick up a Line 6 XT Live. It's a floor based Modeler that has an Aux input for Jamming along. Headphone out for bedroom play and outputs for any type of amp or PA system you would connect to to jam with your friends. Because its floor based and connects to just about anything you can grab it and play just about anywhere and in any situation. It also has USB connectivity for direct recording and you can buy additional amp packs from Line 6 if you wanted. Best of all you can pick one up used for about $150.
