Guitar Synth + Amp & Cab Rig..?

Here's something I've been wondering about for a long time.

Say you have a Roland guitar synth [where the pickup is in the guitar] and a conventional amp/poweramp + preamp & cab rig. For the amp you need to have a regular heavy setting most of the time, and sometimes you go to clean. How would you switch the sound source from the amp head to the guitar synth and vice versa in mid-song? I cannot figure this out.

Would a splitter box have anything to do with this process?

Ok, I figured it out... with Roland, the pickup you either attach onto the guitar or have it pre-installed in the guitar has a switch on it to go from guitar/guitar & mix/ and all synth. The rest involves using switchers and all. I'm going to get one someday and I was just curious, thanks Bleeding!

you'd probably want the midi/synth signal going to a separate amp.

like
guitar regular output------>amp1
guitar midi/synth output------->synth pedal thingy---> amp2

or if you want to use the same amp, you can use use a passive AB or ABY box backwards. your distortion and clean settings may need to be adjusted, so if you want a clean synth sound but distorted guitar, you either need to go the dual amp method, or use a distortion pedal for the guitar.
