I have been experimenting with a two amp set up recently – a
Dirty Shirley and Tweed deluxe split via Strymon Deco.
Interestingly I now prefer the sound of the two amps blended than either amp individually. I guess where the tweed sounds quite soft and squishy and the DS quite hard and crunchy they combine really nicely. And that’s before you get in to all the fun you can have with stereo effects J
So, who else uses two amp rigs and what combinations of amps work well together?

My first stereo rig was a Mesa F50 with a Budda SuperDrive 18, then a Mesa Mk.V with a Vox AC15HWX, then finally swapped the AC15 for Budda SuperDrive 80.
Just reverb and a slight slapback delay on the Mesas, and a longer delay on the others.
I found it really helpful in single guitar bands to fill the sound out.
I have so many options I will probably never even get round to them all!
Many would be impractical live (well for the sort of live we mostly play) or, the complexities of the tones totally lost on a pissed-up load of 30+ hens on a last night of freedom touraround...
i dont do anything fancy, just split the signal with an a/b box.
The 5e3 breaks up quite early and the 18watt is fairly “clean” till flat out so it adds a bit of sparkle to the sound... but... the 18watt takes a boost really well and cuts through when widdly bits are needed...
smaller gigs i just take the 5e3
Loud... louder... loudest.
I use them wet and dry with the Marshall being the wet amp.
the effect is a huge wall of sound
Albert Hall stage-filler!
the mids in the tweed and the scooped mids from the blackface should really work?!
I plan to try my Carr Mercury V alongside the Kemper... should be interesting
