Here's something we tried a few times in some smaller venues (different band), and it worked quite well. ALL the amps were more or less placed in the same area, almost like a heap, back centre stage area. Bass & kb amps on the bottom, 2 guitar (rythym & lead) above those. Drummer was using an electronic kit, so we ran him through his own amp, and also through the front end.
Just curious, if you don't have, or use a P.A., what are you doing for vocals?
Just wanna make sure we're both on the same page here.....Your P.A. whether it's the band's or the house's..that's what you should be using for your vocals first. Additional available channels on the P.A. mix can be used for KBs , percussion, guitar. whatever, but personally I would only use the PA to enhance, not carry the job of amplifying a kb, or guitar, at least in a band situation. Solo is a whole other thing.
..Just my thots..
