dedicated keyboard amps like the Peavey KB300. Many players I knew
used those little powered mixers by Peavey, Carvin, etc.


What kinds of timbres would they be pumping through these amps? I
believe Jon Lord used marshalls for his B3 occasionally. Were they
sending full range timbres, like B3 or mellotron? Or more
rounded/lead tones?
