Amplification for synth

[X-dark]

Hello
How can I have a correct amplification between 50W and 100W.
I don't want something expensive

[Shreddy]

Roland KC100 is a 60W amp and its about $320 US, thats new used might be able to find something cheaper.

Peavy amps will cost less but their sound is not that good.

Crate and York also make some inexpensive keyboard
amps.

Good call, forgot about Crates, not familar with York how are they?

My first amp was a Crate guitar amp. I dont think they made keyboard amps at the time.

It was cool from what I recal, but it was too low power for jamming (40 watts).

I'd have to second the Roland KC range or the Peavey Keyboard Amp, they both sound great. 8)

I have a Roland KC- 500... and i love it!! :D

KC-100 Is actually an awesome option for you ... I don't like peavey amps at all .
Have you checked carvin amps? they are great

Good luck ( I have a KC-300 and it is a charm :D )

I will say those Roland amps go a long way for the money. A real long way. I've completely abused and tormented a set of KC500's and even blown channels on them, and they still rock. (would like a KC1000 though, that thing will take over a small country).....

In the end I've taken what worked out a cheaper and more versatile approach, of just getting a power amp (400w, in my case) and a couple of speaker cabs. I plug my synths or whatever into my mixer, and my mixer into the power amp. I get a great sound, it's very portable, and it can double as PA for rehearsals etc.

I just got my Roland KC-300 (80 watts) delivered to me today and I can tell you this- it rules! the signal is really, really nice and clear... and I paid only 330 (shipping included) for it used.

One Question: Is it a good idea to plug in an electroacoustic guitar in a keyboard amp?

[Angelic Layer]

Yes.

you mean like an ovation? I dont see why not- it wont hurt the amp or the guitar... all a keyboard amp is is an amp with lows, mid range, and highs, so as to favor all ranges of the keyboard, and with a clear, unaltered signal. A lot of bass players use keyboard amps, as do a lot of acoustic guitar players. Electric might not sound that great because, well, this isnt a guitar amp, so you only get the clear signal which you probably dont want.

I just got a Roland KC 100 for Christmas. I love it because it doesnt distort at all when i put the volume levels all the way up. Alot of music stores are having there clearence sales now so u might be able to get a good deal on one.
