Re: running two amps at once

["Andy Morris" <apmorris59@hotmail.com>]

hi richard,
thanks for your reply. i just wanted to shoot you a quick question before 
i 
made my next move. someone else replied saying that i could split my 
signal 
with any stereo pedal. is this true? the only stereo pedal i own right now 
is a line 6 floor delay. i figured i would need something else to split my 
guitar signal. if you don't mind taking a minute to tell me where to go 
from 
here and feel free to explain it to me as though i were 8. we're only 
talking about two inputs and two outputs here and i feel confused. sorry, 
thanks alot for your help. andy
