Alan,

My vote would be the KB-300 as well. Or even a KB-100 would
probably work well at home. My KB-300 has 3 inputs, separate
high-mid-low EQ on each channel, separate reverb level on each
channel, and channel 1 even has an XLR mic input in addition to
the 1/4" input, and I've even used both at the same time for a total
of 4 inputs. I've used it for piano, organ, and sequences from my
keyboard, acoustic and electric guitar, and vocals - both at home
and in small venues as a PA. Used as a PA, I've had vocals,
guitar, and sequenced keyboard tracks (piano, organ, drums,
bass, etc.) all at the same time, and it handles it nicely.

Good luck.
