Two guitar amps & patchbay

Predo · 20th August 2011

Is it possible to connect two guitar amps using a Behringer ultrapatch pro model PX2000 patchbay. The amps are a line 6 spider III and a marshall g100rcd head powering a marshall 4x12 cab. Would appreciate any help.

Not the best way to do it, you lose the interaction between the guitar and the amplifier. Two ways:

1. A pedal with dual outputs, like a stereo chorus, delay or an amp switcher (Lehle or Radial).

2. Into one amp, out of the effects loop out of that amp into the input of the second amp.

For $80, this is hard to beat. It's what I use and have found it great.
