Hooking two amps together?

Does anybody out there know how to hook two amps together? Is there a Y cable available? If so who sells them. Thanks for any help you can give me. Bobby

The amps you run will have an effect on how you do it, but a splitter will weaken the signal.
All three of my amps have outputs in the back.
If you had my gear, run the guitar through the Evans, and the line out into the power amp input of the 500, using the attenuator on the Evans' output to balance Peavey v. Evans

Some use a stereo chorus pedal to drive two amps....or a Telonics volume pedal, with two isolated outputs (plus additional tuner output)...

It's best to list what equipment you are using and someone will be able to steer you in the right direction.

I run my single output Marlen to the effects, then the volume pedal, then through a Boss DD-7. The DD-7 splits the signal to stereo. One cable to each amp. Works great, sounds great.

I used to run a Boss DD-5 the same way. Nice, clean delay. Also nice with tap tempo and ping-pong delays.

I use a POD XT to split the signal, and use some stereo chorusing.

This morning I connected my Fender Deluxe DSP 60 watt amp to my Roland Cube 80watt amp. Both amps are solid state. I plugged the steel into the volume pedal then into the Fender input #1 and ran a guitar chord from Fender input #2 to the input on the Roland. Sounds great. No hum whatsover or problems. I use just a tad reverb and delay so I had to adjust both amps to get a good balance, but it sounds great.
