I just bought a marshall sv20 and I have a deluxe reverb also. I'm enjoying the fx loop on the marahall and now I'm realizing the possibilities that before I had no interest such as an aby pedal. I found a used lehle for like 150 less than msrp for brand new. That said I'm not sure I need that much pedal. I guess I want good pedal with all the features you want when running 2 amps but what pedals are you guys liking for your amps? I'm thinking clean deluxe and dirty marshall at same time sounds fun.
Mesa/Boogie F-50 narrow chassis 1x12 combo on top with Electro-Harmonix 12AU7s in V1 & V2, Groove Tubes KT66HPs in V5 & V6, Celestion Vintage 30 driver.
Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout 12 bass combo (all stock) on bottom.

Pedalboard includes:
One Control BJFe 1Loop
tc electronic Spark mini booster
DSM & Humboldt Electronics Silver Linings preamp/overdrive
Digitech FreqOut feedback generator
DSM & Humboldt Electronics Simplifier
Boss GT-1000Core

no ABY pedal, just the stereo outs of the Simplifier. I've been running stereo rigs for over 30 years, never once needed anything more than the stereo outs of an effects unit.

I use a Morley ABY pedal at times when I’m playing my Fishman TriplePlay equipped guitars (Godin Tele HS and PRS Custom SemiHollowbody). I run the analog signal to a Fender Vibro Champ x2 then line out to the ABY; iPad w/TriplePlay Connect to the B input on the pedal then out to a Tech21 Power Engine. So the ABY is mixer, allowing me to balance the two signals. It’s a bit “surround sound “ effect. The Tech 21 unit is superb. It has excellent sound, and is back ported, so it serves as a PA vocal monitor as well. My drummer loves it. He can hear my guitar and the vocals. I dig running two amps, and usually different. Two different tube amps. One tube one solid state (above). The sound variation is what I love. There’s lots of big name artists who use multiple amps. One clean one with breakup; different effects run to each. There’s endless possibilities. Experiment experiment experiment. And then sometimes I go minimalist. One guitar. One cord. One amp. Everything is situational.

I've had the Radial ABY for a while just to switch amps, but have been working recently to incorporate pedals for something like a wet/dry setup. I try to play cello and bass as much as guitar, so having a clean signal in parallel to blend with whatever the effects are providing has been the 1st goal. Some of the effects flip the phase and you can hear some of the bass frequencies drop out by cancellation with the clean side. It's a puzzle trying to decide which combinations work best. The polarity switch on the ABY is nice to have

Still figuring it out
