keyboard with a guitar amp

Opossum	Date: October 9, 2006 @ 12:56 PM I have but didn't like the tones as much as with a proper keyboard amp, and got some pretty weird distortion.
Scone	Date: October 1, 2007 @ 2:43 PM I do too, but I have been using an acoustic guitar amp. It usually works okay, not great, but sometimes if I play too loudly it makes some pretty bad popping sounds. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you have to.
TheElf	Date: October 22, 2007 @ 7:45 AM I don't know so much about the amps of today, but synth bands of yesteryear like Kraftwerk used to blow guitar amps left & right in the 1970's & early 80's. The just couldn't handle the different frequencies.
zedsalt	Date: October 22, 2007 @ 10:54 AM I don't, but I've known a few folks who went the other direction and absolutely swear by keyboard amps for guitar. I've heard some excellent guitar tones out of an old Baldwin amp, for instance. When I first got my Moogerfooger MF101, I was playing with the resonance and cutoff knobs as a tune was dying out. I didn't realize that I'd ended it by taking the cutoff below the range of human hearing, as opposed to pulling back the resonance. My speaker looked like it was out of focus somehow. I reached down and touched the cone; it was like touching a joy buzzer! Don't try this at home, kids.
