Keyboard/synth amplifier watts?
I'm looking into buying a new keyboard/synth amp because my older one copped out. The only problem is, i'm not sure how many watts i would need.
My old amp came from a friend a while back and he doesn't remember how many watts it was.
I need enough to play live shows. The venues my band plays at tend to be anywhere from small to large, so i need something with enough power to hold it's own among the guitar, bass, drums, and vocalists in these venues.
it will probably be a combo amp (hopefully.)
so for the most part, i just need advice on what amout of watts i need. Though, other advice would be welcome.
Easy ten points if you know what you're talking about.
Thanks.
If you're playing gigs, you need a "keyboard" amp with at least 150 watts....more is better. You need the power for both volume AND clarity. A keyboard is much more demanding of power than a guitar because it covers a wider audio range. For this reason, you want to find one that has at least one woofer and a tweeter.
Our keyboard player has this Roland: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/599263-REG/Roland_KC_880_KC_880_Stereo_Keyboard_and.html#specifications It's adequate but more power would be better. Be warned, it's a heavy beast at 97 lbs!
Once when the Roland was being repaired, he borrowed my old Peavey Session 400 which is 200 watts. It did a pretty good job for a small-medium sized hall. We aren't a loud band.
