How can I best equalize my guitar amp for my keyboard?

It's a Vox Valvetronix with gain, volume, bass, mid, treble, and master volume controls. 30 watt.
I know that there's no way to get as clean a sound with a guitar amp as there is with a keyboard amp, but any suggestions for making it sound as good as possible? Thanks.



Answer
Keyboard amplifiers usually have a more wide frequency response so they have have horns/tweeters too, whereas guitar amps have not. So a guitar amplifier can not be forced too much to play higher frequencies. If you put an equalizer before the amp you could use more gain on the higher eq bands to make up for the rounded off guitar amp sound. About 3db at 4kHz, and 2-3db at 8 kHz but no gain above. Try some different settings if you can.
