You need stereo out on your pedals or from the guitar to do that, or maybe spider has a FXloop. Then you might try to hook them up, but really I don't see the point. Maybe if you would have some decent Marshall preamp, like this...

You can use AUX OUT , OR PRE-EQ OUT(tuner out) if one of your amps have it..It will send the dry signal out of amp , and you can connect it to a input jack on the other amp..

Or even if you have phones out on your spider, send it to marshall, and walla - you'll get your own 2 amp configuration.
The best use of two amp is when you have stereo effects, and then you send one channel to the left one, and the other to the right one. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

line out from the main Amp to the second Amp in put Please do NOT do this. The "Line Out" on an amplifier is a high power output channel used to drive cabinets or individual speakers. You will damage possibly both amps if you do it. The device you need is common and it called an AB-Y switch. Not only will it allow you to play both amps at once but you can also switch between them. Careful with your expectations though. A passive AB-Y only has a set amount of juice to send, so if you split the signal between the amps the volume of the amps will drop. In my experience these devices are best used when switching independently between amps or simply running both at once. Switching on the fly will cause volume changes you cannot adjust for unless it is between songs.

Line level out would maybe go at 1V which i assume could be achived overdriving a humbucker pu so that should be ok for the input. Or? -------------------- My bands homepage

"Line Level Out" or "Aux Out" or "Mix Out" or "Preamp Out" would have all been fine but I'd hate to see someone damage a bunch of equipment out of a little carelessness. I know Hisham meant well but I just wanted to throw up a red flag to prevent any undue stress for Mr. johnymac.
