And while I'm having potentially stupid thoughts...
Suppose you wired a guitar to send the treble PU out of one jack and the
neck (and middle, if there is one) PUs out of another. Then, you design
an amp with two switchable channels so you could, for example, have the bridge
PU going thru a big, fat, saturated Dumble-esque (please don't sue me, Alexander!)
high gain channel and the other PU(s) thru a shimmering, warm clean channel.
Flip the selector switch to go from lead to rhythm. Or run both at the
same time for fat, sustaining distortion w/ a nice clear, articulated note
underneath. Or switch the amp around to have a little crunch on the neck/mid
PU and bright, clean Tele twang on the bridge PU. You could start the experiment
by wiring a guitar in stereo and using two amps.
Hmmm. I might have found a use for some of my down-time this week!

Hi Gantt..I used have a stereo rig back in the 70's .with a Blackface Twin
on one pickup,and a Marshall Plexi 50 watt on the other.(both of which I
still own) .. I had an Alembic guitar,and it had a stereo XLR output
jack..It's alot of trouble ,but it does sound great..I like to use 2 small
amps,with a switchbox..Eric Johnson really gets the most killer variety of
tones of anybody..he uses 4 amps..2 Deluxe Reverbs,and 2 Plexi 50 watt,with
various echoplexes and overdrives...take care, Zan

Actually, I think B.B. played either an ES-345 or an ES-355 for a long time.
When Gibson created the "Lucille" model it was based on that. I don't know
if they included the stereo feature but I'm pretty sure it had the "Varitone"
switch, which dropped various R/C networks into the circuit to change the
sound. B.B. never did the two amp thing to my knowledge. My first nice
electric guitar was an ES-345 but I never tried running two amps back then.
I sure wish I still had that guitar!
