Tossing around keyboard amp ideas...

[nateflanigan]

One of my band mates has a lackluster amp situation going on.  She usually plays an organ sound on a synth and sometimes uses more fx oriented sounds.  Additionally she mentioned she'd like to play 3rd guitar on some tunes.  I'm thinking...

-something pretty high powered into a 15" speaker
-maybe a dynaco style power amp fed by a BF guitar channel and a separate keyboard channel
-for the keys, maybe an active tone stack?

Any ideas on what to do about a line level keyboard channel?

Thanks!

Some good ideas there. I'd say for line-level, low gain, maybe just enough to buffer for the active EQ and drive the P.A. section. As far as how much gain? Well, perhaps steal a single channel from the old Fender PA100 head for the keyboard channel (two triode stages before PI. + whatever you add for active EQ.) I'm assuming 1/4" jack as well. (If you're thinking SS... perhaps look at a Peavey KB100 instead)
