This is exactly what i should do,the next time i see the aforementioned Band playing,i'm going to discuss it with them.
Thanks,Luminous.
Can i just answer the couple of comments about Guitar-Amp & away we go,there is certainly no problem with this,i've been doing it for nearly 60yrs & if it's good enough for Mick green & Wilko,it's good enough for me.
I think it's an age thing,as i get nearer & nearer to the care home or death,i'm trying to cram more & more in,before i go or even worse have to give up
Many thanks to all for taking the time to help me out.
diving into a massive multi fx like the helix would likely just introduce a shit tonne of option paralysis.
I remember getting myself one of the native guitar rig programmes, before I understood anything about fx. it posed far to many possibilities, and I only lasted a few months before never touching it again.
Something like the line6 m5 or m9 offers a fair amount of fx for not a lot of money.
Some dod, boss, ehx, tone city or mooer pedals would do the trick depending on what you like.
Just only buy a couple at a time and spend time using them.
What sounds are you after?
If that's too daunting or you can't find sounds you like it it, I'd probably just start with some really classic pedals like a wah, Tube Screamer-type overdrive and a delay - you can get a huge amount of mileage out of just this.

There is an editor(BTS),but once again they have to be set up on a Computer & once sent to the KN50,there is no adjustment on the fly(as i understand it),i do use on of the boosts & one of the Amps.
But even here i'm a bit lost i've read that it may be best to use one Amp with effects & one without?.
I'd try & have a go at the editor,but my computer is steam driven,by todays standards(Vista)& windows 8 or above is required,.
If you're using two amps, a stereo chorus or delay will be ideal for splitting the sound, you can usually set them for either wet/dry, or for stereo wet, whichever sounds best. (Bear in mind that if you're also putting the amps through the PA, which is best depends on whether you're doing it with one or both amps.)

Could you help me with another question?,i occasionally(when desk channels get full)use a splitter cable to feed both mics/amps into 1 channel,it dosen't seem to hurt the amp sound through the pa,but if i did this with an effect(say a delay)on 1 amp as suggested would this splitter cause problems,with the "wet"/"dry" sound,hope you don't mind the further questions.

The answer is the same for both cases - if you're mic'ing both amps and/or mixing the signals together, you need wet/dry. If you're mic'ing just one or only using one feed to the desk, use stereo. I know that's possibly counterintuitive in that it may seem the opposite of what you would expect, but it's because the PA is essentially a mono mix usually.
The best is probably wet/dry with both amps mic'ed, because that gives the soundman more control over the relative FX level in the final mix - that's one of the major reasons most pro rigs use this approach.
If you don't have that option and it has to be stereo, make sure the two channels aren't mixed to mono or some stereo effects will disappear completely.

Also i bought the Amps for their sound,so i think i am properly using them
Thank you for the offer.
Maybe this would work:
In the privacy of your own home use the Tone Editor software to configure various patches in your 2 KN50 amps. In your patches set the intensity of the effects so they can be moderated by the expression pedal in a live performance.
