Ok ... I have 2 amps.
1 of them is what I use for recording. It's a Marshall MG Series 30DFX.
The other one is my BABY.. it's a Peavey 5150 Halfstack.
Here are all of the inputs/outputs on each amp.

Marshall Amp = Footswitch, Input(for guitar), CD In, and a Emulated Line-out and headphones

Peavey 5150 = High Gain Input, Low Gain Input, speaker cab input, and an FX Loop input.

My question is this, can someone tell me how to combine these two amps to where I can hear both amps at once and it work through my computer.
I like the Marshall for its clean tones but its distortion is CRAP.
I like my 5150 for everything except that it doesnt have a Line-in input.
How can I combine the two?
If possible can I combine them to where I hear the 5150 more than the Marshall amp?
I've done this before but I want you guy's opinion

thanks,

I know that Santana is using a Jim Dunlop Amp Switcher ( 1 input/ 4 output) making it possible to switch the guitar to different amps just with a foot clic.

Tanglewood TW28STE (Shadow P7 EQ) acoustic
Yamaha RGX 320FZ electric guitar/Egnater Tweaker 15 amp.
Yamaha RBX 270 bass/Laney DB 150 amp.

In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin uses something like that. Theres one guitar going through two amps with each amp panned hard to either side. Sounds cool i guess.

Or the Line 6 Vetta has dual amps where you can mix and stuff. Pretty chill.

For that I think you'd have to mic the amp with no line-out and use the line-out of the amp which has it and put them through a stereo mixing board before going into the PC. It would still be going into the one stereo input in the computer, but with the mixer you could pan each amp hard-left and hard-right to get that double-tracked sound.
