Re: Stereo Tube Amps
You can, but it'll sum to mono and you'll lose a lot of the stereo goodness. If you want to run stereo effects you either need two amps or an actual stereo amp such as a Roland Jazz Chorus. If you go with a stereo amp, you'd need to run your stereo effect's output into the amp's effects returns as most stereo amps have a single input.

Re: Stereo Tube Amps
EmerySound.com makes a stereo tube guitar amp with parallel inputs, preamp and amplification sections, though they share a rectifier, and which you can plug in the tube compliment of your choice; even use different pre and power tubes per side, but you've got to ask him directly about it - it's not posted on the web site. And you'll need two cabinets or a stereo cabinet to enjoy that wide stereo spread of sound.

Orange Rocker 32 combo. It's 2x10, 30 watts mono/15x2 stereo. Pretty awesome amp if you ask me.

Re: Stereo Tube Amps
Any 2 of these will allow stereo. There is not really a ton of combos out there (I can't think of any) that are tube-based and have 2 discreet inputs.

Re: Stereo Tube Amps
( not sure if this means the higher or lower gain level...lol)
As mentioned by Mincer having two amps is still a better idea especially with distance between them.

The Fender Hot Rods and DeVille series all have two inputs. The manual on my Blues DeVille reissue states that the 2nd input is lower gain but if Both inputs are used they become the same gain level

Re: Stereo Tube Amps
Better scenario (although more $$$ involved)... this puts all your FX *after* power tube distortion:
tube amp -> load (hotplate, for ex)
|
line out (line level signal box - hotplate line out, suhr ISO, for ex)
|
stereo fx stomp/rack units (chorus, verb, delay etc)
|| (stereo signal; 2 outputs)
power amp 1, power amp 2
|| (stereo signal; 2 outputs)
speaker 1, speaker 2
(power amps could even be 2x EHX .44 Magnum stompbox sized)

Re: Stereo Tube Amps
Or run wet/dry/wet with 3 amps, but I think the original question is if he plugs stereo effects into 2 inputs on a single amp will he get stereo effects, and the answer is no, it's better to use mono effects into a single amp.
The definition of stereo is "sound that is directed through two or more speakers so that it seems to surround the listener and to come from more than one source; stereophonic sound."

Re: Stereo Tube Amps
Multiple amps is the answer. Or the Orange Rocker 32.
