For those with double neck guitars, or separate E9th & C6th guitars ... do you have separate amps for each tuning or do you continually change the settings depending on which neck/guitar you are playing? I have separate guitars and I hate always having to change the amp settings depending between guitars. I'm thinking about getting a second amp for my non pedal guitar to avoid having to fiddle with my amp settings.

Nope. I just get a tone setting that sounds good for both, but I always try to get the E9th where I really want it, and it usually will sound good for the C6th neck. 2 amps is overkill, plus you'll need an A/B box.Is it really worth it?
Oops. I just re-read your post. With 2 different guitars it may be worth it, but I would still try for a happy medium with one amp.

| ahh, one guitar is non-pedal... Maybe you could run an A/B box into both sides of a twin reverb (for example). You could have two different mixes that way. |

When i do a sound check, we do the lowest note for resonance, and then we do the highest note for squeel, your lows should not 'woof' and highs should not 'Cut cheese' Run your low c 10th string , pedal down to A full volume and see if it 'disturbes you or the neighbours, hee hee.
Adjust accordingly. I use my lowest tone and it must cut through the mix, other wise the bass player ain't happy if your hooking up with him, neither are the listeners!

| Had another idea for ya... What if you ran another preamp (or pod, profex,etc) into the power amp input of the Nashville 112? Plug one guitar into the front of your amp and the other into the Pod or whatever. I wonder if this would work safely... Also, you may want to change the title of your post. It's hardly a problem for guys with double-neck guitars, although tone knobs used to be more common on steels which was probably handy for a quick adjustment when switching necks. |

I use the same amp setting for both necks.
If you need slightly different settings you may try to use a good and effective pedal stomp equalizer (as the Boss GE-7) to emphasize or cut some frequencies of one of the necks...
Just plug it to one instrument and run it through the A/B stomp. |

Or as Brett said, run into a two channel amp.

I don't think that will work. I'm no amp expert, but I believe the power amp input would disconnect the preamp of the 112 making the front panel inputs non-functional. You would not get a mixing of the front panel inputs and the preamp signal.
But, I could be wrong.

Now it seems most any setting i use seems to work
well with both necks. |

Over the past couple of days I've been experimenting with various settings and I can't find that one setting I'm happy with for both guitars. Perhaps it is because I have the NV112 mod chips installed? It looks like I will probably get a second amp for C6th use. Here's the settings I'm currently comfortable with ... E9th first followed by C6th after the commas.
Low 9,9
Mid -3,-8
Shift 800,900
High 2,4.5
Presence 6,8
