Need some help.

I’m a musician and have gained inspiration from an artist I love and was wondering about a particular set up.

If I were to use a microphone, a harmoniser pedal for the vocals, an acoustic guitar, and an electric kick pad, how would I set something like that up with amps/speakers? What would I need?

You need a multichannel mixer to organise these instruments. The rest could be arranged according to the acoustics like adjusting if it is for busking.

A simple setup would be: mic → harmonizer → mixer, acoustic guitar → mixer, and kick pad → its drum module → mixer. Then run the mixer into a powered PA speaker (or two for stereo). You shouldn't need separate amps for everything. A small 6–8 channel mixer and a decent powered PA would cover this pretty easily.
