1 pedal board into 2 amps. Is it possible?

[nickg21285]

Hey, is it possible to run my pedalboard into the effects loop of 2 amp?
I don't want to carry 2 pedalboards around and wondered if anyone had a solution for doing this?
Would I get by with just using Y-cables or would I get some signal overlap etc.?

Have you looked at one of there? I'm not sure it will do what you want, but it looks like it might.

I ordered one of the Y-splitters a few months ago and they do a good job, was pleased with the service.

Some pedals like delay have two outputs you can run two amps one wet and one dry. I'm sure there are other ways also.

whats wrong with the tried-and-true A+B box? Whirlwind makes them I think

I have a A B Y box and it works Great! It will split 1 guitar into either 1 or the other amp or both at the same time.

Or I can use 1 or 2 guitars into an amp plus have a Tuner pedal plugged in.

They are handy little pedals. I'd suggest getting one that has LED's so you can easily see how the pedal is being used at a glance.

I thought splitting using an A B Y box was fine if all effects were thru the front of the amp, but can I still use an A B Y with the effects loop? Would I need 2 A B Y's?

Yeah most of the posts here are assuming you run your board ahead of your amps, I see you are saying you want to run your board through the effects loops of two amps right? Two A/Bs should do it (one at each end) or maybe even a simple y conector. Are you planning to run both amps at the same time or one at a time?

 

[nickg21285]

Yeah Brad you got it. I want to run both amps with the effects thru both loops.
I want the option of running either both amps at the same time or individual but still be able to use the effects with each amp.

ABY box should do it.

I believe it will take 2 A/B/Y boxes, one at each end of the pedals.
