Can anybody recommend a lightweight keyboard amp (or component set-up) you can also plug a vocal mic into? For stage and small venues.

I know this is a keyboard question - but it would sure be helpful. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hard to beat a QSC K10 for that. Even works great straight in without a mixer for small gigs.

Fender Acoustisonic Jr. has 2 8" speakers, a tweeter, 2 channels, reverb, and delivers 40 watts. I have an old one that has been useful for PA (XLR) and acoustic guitar (1/4"),for years. Newer examples have phantom power and effects.

I have a Harbinger V2112 powered PA speaker that sound great with my steel. ABS cabinet, not too heavy.

I may, in fact, be nuts. However, I am screwed onto the right bolt... Jesus!

Hey, sorry that I overlooked your post. But, I recommend the Peavey KB 3,4, or 5 series which features a microphone input.

Thanks again to everyone for the replies advice. Hey Mike Brown. I just want to say I bought a Peavey Vegas 400 in 1985. It's broken down once in that time and this includes decades under a bus. I am still using it now because of the second the channel and the sound of a 15" in a large cabinet. Low volume - high volume it sounds great.

Mike - I said that wrong. My Vegas is working and sounding great.

What I meant to say was like around 1990 - it broke - cold joint - easy fix - up and running same day. It worked before that and I'm still using it today. I don't know of any other amp that is that reliable. One minor problem in 30 years of almost constant use. Hats off to Peavey!
