Keyboard Amp for Guitar

[MadDogBapa]

My wife is a keyboardist (very good!) and we got her a Roland KC-200 4 channel keyboard amp for weddings, etc. I tried plugging in to one of the channels with my tele thru a ZOOM G3Xn multi-effects pedal and it sounds wonderful. Should I have any concerns at all about using this combo?

No, if you are using a pedal as a preamp, it would be fine. Keyboard amps are basically EQed flatter than Guitar amps, so that the effects come frpm the keyboard with as little color from the amp as possible.

I think that would be fine
You are getting strong clean power/efficient speaker ( assuming), and your own separate Channel, whose EQ you can tweak, along with the Zoom to give you a sound you like

The only possible concern is that you'll give up guitar amps.

For you it's the Zoom that's doing the work, not the Roland. I'd imagine the Zoom thro' a PA would be similar.

I have used one with a small mixer as a mini PA, running two vocal mics, an acoustic guitar, and my Tele through a Joyo American Sound. Occasionally putting bass through it too. Always sounds good. Keyboards cover a broad frequency range, so the amp happily deals with bass through guitar and vocals.

Yeah the keyboard amp is similar in sound to and is acting as kind of a mini PA. If it sounds fine, way cool. You won't break anything or blow up anything by doing this.

We destroyed the speaker on a Roland keyboard amp doing this with my death rock band but we were also running a drum machine through it and we’re probably louder than you are.
