Mixed down these sample files because of the 'Multiple Amps' thread but figure that thread is about dead and didn't want my herculean effort (ha) to get lost.
JT30 w/ MC127 into TC elect. Flashback Delay mono in, stereo out to the two amps. One amp on each side of the room, close mic.d sm57's
I center amps one at a time in the mixes below, then mix them hard R&L with both in the mix, - kinda like they where in the room live. This was the first time I did this combo and it worked really well in my music room anyway. I was happy with the amalgamated tone and could be heard really well wth two guitars, bass and drums going - no squealing.
first three cuts are from a Hog 4 U jam, it's a little hotter, sorry for the sloppy playing . Second three cuts are from a jam that went into Lovelight and the playing is a little sparser as we start getting into it.

that my friend is super fine playing right there.
did you sneak in a 6 ob on the first track?
the ga 20 is the finest amp for harp ever
too bad it is not very loud... perfect match when used with a bassman.
i am having numerous dificulties with my two amp set-up
but i am determined to elimanate the gremlins that persist.

Good job Bonedog, didn't know you could play like that! Nice Tone too!
1847 are you having a noise problem or out of phase problem? If so you need a Radial Big Shot ABY (passive) one is better. No battery or power supply needed.

thanks harpaholic, always enjoy your posts.
may have to give the radial a shot.
my first issue is to not get electrocuted. two amps can be dangerous.
my main problem right now appears to be the first tube socket
it may need to be replaced. also i have a two prong cord on my champ... it is torn and frayed. not too big a deal when using 1 amp, but by adding a 2 nd amp, super dangerous.time to fix that. i will have a new speaker this week a tone tubby low watt hemp cone 4 ohm
that should solve a few problems as well. hopefully
it is not too prone to feedback.

Thanks 1847! That's surprising!
Yeah you got some stuff to work out first, fortunately nothing major.
The new Terminater pedal might be a better option. Not sure how it handles the two common problems I mentioned running two amps together?

Thanks for kind words re. the playing.
@1847- I don't think I hit a 6OB, though I can and do on occasion.
"the ga 20 is the finest amp for harp ever" - It's the sweetest of any amp I've ever played through. My GA6 is very very similar though it doesn't have as much bottom. One of these day's I'll go back in and see if I can voice it a bit more like the 20 with a resistor change or two.
On other multi amp split feed set ups I've gotten too much annoying noise. loud 60cycle ahum. This combo worked better than I expected. Coming off the delay - I forgot to mention I go through and old Fostex analog reverb unit before the Bassman. It may be doing some sort of buffering too.
I tried the active 'Terminator' splitter from Lone Wolf and that didn't help.

As stated in the previous thread, I enjoy running two amps thru my Arion SAD-1. Never had any problems with noise or other. This is an excellent delay. Very transparent.
I built an amp just for this pedal. It is a Stereo Harvard. Two tweed Harvards on a common power supply. It is making 35W per channel and is a head at present. Has stereo line out, NFB lift. It can also be used as two separate amps. Guitar/Harp.
Anyone wanting to build a good, simple harp amp should consider a Fender 5F10 Tweed Harvard circuit. This is the predecessor to the 5F11 Vibrolux minus the vibro. I think the 5F10 is a 12W amp. Very nice...BN
I'll put a couple of pics up in a separate thread.
