When I used to use the Roland GR-50 guitar synth live, I had a setup like 
this:

+----------+                                              +------+
|  Guitar  |-->straight guitar-->GP-16 FX-->H&K Red Box-->|Volume|--> PA
|with GK-2 |                                              |Pedal |
|          |-->hex pickup-->GR-50 synth-->SE-50 FX------->|      |
+----------+                                              +------+

This is the setup you hear in the mp3 of "Fifth Avenue" on this page:

Lately I've been using an H&K Tubeman with my blues band, without a guitar
synth, but still running strtaight into the PA. Great clean and great
distortion. And it has the "Red Box" cabinet simulator built in.
