Nothing bad will happen. You should turn the preamp down, because a keyboard signal is higher than a guitar signal I think, but then it should work. Just don't expect a good sound of it, because a guitar has a lot of mid tone frequencies while a keyboard covers everything, so a keyboard played over a guitar amp lacks the bass and the treble frequencies.

You may hear some distortions with low bass sounds like full strings. My first keyboard amp was a Crate guitar amp, it sucked. Your better off getting a dedicated Keyboard amp which can hanlde all the frequencies pushed at it.

I recently ran my Moog Voyager through a Line 6 guitar amp.
The end result was a fat aggressive guitar lead tone with feedback
and mltitp. delay.

Good call I wasnt thinking about amps with built in amp and cabinet modeling.

Tell you what you could try...

You can get plugins that are basically amp simulators. Now the most famous one is Amplitube and that is pricey but there was a link someone posted on Harmony Central to some other free plugins that sounded great for recording guitar through. Just route your soft synths through that and have a play :)

I'll try and find a link - Google might help.
