            What do mean by "strapping them together"??  Like a stack?
     To use in stereo?
    
            If you just want to "stack" them,  just run a cord from
     the line out or pre-amp out of one into any input on the other.
    
            If you usually play with an overdrive sound, the second
     amp should be kept on a relatively clean setting as you will get
     the distortion from the pre-amp of the first.
    
            What will you gain?, everything from twice the spl to twice
     the distortion, depending on how the gain controls are set on each
     amp and where each amp is placed in relation to the other.  Since
     you already have made the investment in another amp, I recommend
     running all your stuff in stereo.  You will get a much bigger sound!

    let me start this off......
    
    you will do NO damage to the twins my coupling their inputs together.
    
    I used to own one, but never twinned it, but I did twin a VOX and
    a TRUVOICE amp. I just made up a twin lead ie. bring another lead
    out connected in parallel at the amp input and take it across to
    the second amp. Now, depending upon how the input section of a twin
    is wired, you MAY be able to go in on channel 1, and take a standard
    lead out of channel 2 and across into the second amp. You may need
    to turn up the volume of the second amp. I suggest try it and see,
    if it does not work you have NOT caused any harm.
    
    What do you gain  by using two amps ??
    
    1.  A cleaner sound at high volumes.
    
    2.  Yes it will be louder but not twice as loud.
    
    3.  By angled placement you will get better sound distribution and
        even if they are both pointed straight ahead, you will get more
        depth of sound.
    
    4.  You will be able to set up (say) one amp for deep, the other
        for top.
    
    5.  place one one stage left, the other stage right, use in "stereo"
        The depth of field and tone is impressive, ask a mate in the
    	audience to confirm this.
    6.  By far and away the best reason..... use dual pedals. Boss have
    	a chorus unit with stereo outputs, put your guitar in and take
        two leads out , one to each amp. The chorus effect is twice
        as strong. Use two sustain units, drive one of the amps via
        a delay pedal, it sounds like dual track guitar. If you can
        afford the bread, use one of these new multi effect digital
        units that have outputs in true stereo. You will NEVER go
        back to a single amp again.

    	Or, in the same spirit as Dave just suggested, get a "digital
    delay" in there *between* the amplifiers, for that "fat" sound!

    	Didnt Mike Bloomfield play through piggy backed twins?

    Lets see if I have this right.  If I wanted to strap two twins
    together, it would be like so?

    Is this correct?

    	Sheesh... some guys have more twins than they know what to do with
    and some guys don't have any ;^)
    
    	I'd go preamp out to main amp in, but that's to easy, what am I
    missing??  What's "strapping"??

    Regards,

    
    Lots of older amps didn't have preamp outs.  If you ever saw someone in
    the 60's with a wall of Marshalls, they were probably strapped
    together.  I couldn't remember if .5 is the right way to do it.
