Re: 2x12 preamp out to separate 1x12. Is this stereo?
You really need figure out how each power amp section works, specially the one from the slave amp. In some amps the master volume control is before the FX Send, that means whatever hits the FX return (the power amp) is being amplified at full power (like a Fender Hot Rode Deluxe), then the master volume knob will only control the signal of the own amp but may not control the volume of the signal coming from the master amp.
Turn down the master volume of your slave amp (el34 amphead which goes to a 1x12 cab if I understood correctly? ) up and down while here is nothing plugged in the FX return of the master amp, if the volume never changed on the slave amp then you need an extra gadget to control the volume of the signal coming into the slave amp.
You can still use the a single preamp from your favorite amp in a stereo rig, Andy Timons takes the FX send from his Amp #1 into stereo pedal board then sends one cable to the Amp #1 FX return and a second cable to Amp #2 FX return. He does however use two identical heads and cabs so both power amps and speakers can be balanced in volume.
