This may sound like overkill, but the "crossover" amp for acoustic guitar and keyboards would probably be a small P.A. rig. For both of those instruments, you are typically looking for an amplifier that doesn't add color; something that JUST makes it loud.

I recently got a Mackie powered P.A. monitor; I'm looking forward to trying that with keyboards. It won't be high volume, but that's not what I'm after.

Yes, keyboards are tech-y, but quality counts, and as you might expect, a quality instrument is a joy to use. I have a Kurzweil controller with 88 weighted keys, that also has a nice array of built-in sounds; stupid expensive, but worth it. If I had to buy anything again, I'd look at Kurzweil first.

Oh yeah, that Kurzweil was also the instrument I bought to learn on. Because I know that my motivation goes up at least 3,000%, on a good instrument....
