In 1990 this usually meant a stereo chorus splitting the signal. An unwanted side-effect was that I found that my noise floor went way up, and sometimes, with certain pairings of amps, it seemed like my sound got smaller instead of bigger. It was not until almost two decades later, in 2002, I learned about the grounding and phase issues that have to be dealt with when running two amps simultaneously. Here, I show how to overcome these issues with an easy-to-find signal splitter that incorporates phase reversal controls, and safe ground lifting using an isolation transformer.Full episode on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/FZ__DCGIwDIAmazon link to Lehle P-Split IIIhttps://amzn.to/3MVoVU1Book Nook Link - The Fender Archives, by Tom Wheelerhttps://amzn.to/42fyZfiThe Stratocaster Chronicles, by Tom Wheelerhttps://amzn.to/3WANkBEGear used:1982 Kubicki body, 2022 Danocaster Neck, Glaser Convertible Bender, 80s Duncan middle, Ron Ellis 50/60 Tele pickup set.
