Yeah with an aby pedal or if your delay has a clean and fx out. Set the fx to 100% wet and youll have a nice sound. Just wipe the drool periodically . People have been running two plus amps forever!
If u mean can I run ext speaker out from one to the other, that depends on the ohms.

No problem there but there are surely different ways to accomplish this: You could use the second input on the Champ as an output and hook up the Peavey like that but then you won't be able to 'ping-pong' of course as it'll be in series. But try it because you might like the sound.

As for using some kind of AB box there are plenty of options and opinions. I've tried an Whirlwind Splitter box years ago and was tremendeously underwhelmed as it killed the sound. It works much better now with a simple 'AB Both' box from Analogman but there's still a sonic change. Remember that you enter the vast and somewhat misty land of phase coherency here......

I'd start with a stereo pedal if you have one lying around. Even a super cheap Danelectro tuner pedal with two outputs worked really well for me in the past (and actually sounded better than the much more expensive Whirlwind box)

FWIW, I have both a '57 reissue Champ and a China-made Fender Champion 600 that kicks serious ass after upgrading it with a 6" Weber Alnico speaker and better tubes. These two amps work extremely well together and I think that using two small amps like that makes a lot of sense both for live and and studio use.

Good luck!

I use a VoodooLabs Amp selector to run my Classic 30 with my Pro Jr.

Running two or more amps is a wonderful way to broaden your tonal palette.

My favorite way to make noise at the moment is to put a distortion pedal in front of the Peavey while running its clean channel and just let the PJ bark off naturally.

e609 on the C30......57 on the PJ.......Ksm32 in the room = A joyful noise

I use a tube tape echo to split my signal in stereo. It's a lovely sound. Especially when you have 2 differently voiced amps. I do this more in the studio then stage. Mostly because I can't convince anyone to help me carry 2 amps.
