Everyone who plays an instrument at some time or another has wanted to sound like their favorite musician. Whether it’s someone playing an electric guitar or a bass guitar they all have the same thing in common, they are playing through a preamp.
A preamp is an amplifier plugged into another amplifier. Sometimes called a control amp, the purpose of a preamp is to prepare the signal played by your electric guitar for further amplification.
Although your favorite band uses equipment that is way to expensive for us to afford, you can achieve the same thing by plugging your guitar cable into one amplifier, then plug another cable from the headphones jack of the first amplifier to the input of another amplifier.
This will work with a two guitar amplifiers or two bass amplifiers.
