Running 2 amps

[Dobronaut]

The Tele is my first love, but my bread and butter gigs are acoustic. I'm getting on now, and find my main PA is too heavy. So for small gigs I use an Ashdown Radiator as a PA. It's small and lightweight, and sounds good. I'm wondering if I can use 2 of these together for bigger gigs. I know that some of you run 2 amps together.

Thanks Alamo. The second amp has just arrived. I'll be experimenting later today.

Yeah, XLR out from amp 1's DI to the XLR in on amp 2/channel 2 should work fine.

I use a Boss Chorus pedal to split into 2 amps and have to say the end result is really good surround sound.

I use this. You can actually run thru three amps with it and switch each one on and off independently.
