Re: Amp for guitar and keyboard?

Oh, good lord :\

I'll have to think about this some more. 

So, you sent guitar to channel 1, put the edp in the effects loop, and then sent the looped sounds to channel 2? I'm a bit confused as to how you completed the effects return/send and then put that into a new channel. Did you have an effects loop for each channel?

I used to keep the EDP in the effects loop of my mixer, with all my guitar processing and tube preamp feeding the mixer.  I'd send that signal to the EDP, bring that back in on another channel, then hard pan the two signals to EV-loaded cabinets driven by a Mesa Power amp.  The speakers are clean and high power (although not full range) and the power amp was never remotely breathing hard, so it had no trouble making the loops sound like live guitar sound.  However, I didn't have any synths in the mix.  You'll need to buy a lot more gear to keep everything sounding right--another EDP, powered monitor, or speaker iso box for the amp and mic that to use for feeding the EDP and the overall mix.

Hmm, that might be a bit problematic. I am trying to accurately reproduce the tone of my Rivera, and I want to find an amp that will not color the tone too much. The echoplex is only mono though, so I think the tone will be affected no matter what. I wish it was stereo, so that I could send the synths to one input, and the guitar to another (throw a tube buffer in line before it hits the amp).
