I've had this Fender Greta and a pair of old Yamaha 12" monitors for a long time, and they get little use. The Yamahas are fantastic at flat response reproduction, but with 2 inputs, they also do good double duty as guitar cabinets. Having replaced the tubes long ago, the Greta sounds ok through one of the Yamahas, kinda like it wants to be a Champ but just doesn't have quite as nice a breakup.
Well I was noodling on a blues boogie I'm writing using the Spark, and the tone I want needs EQ before going into the amp. It was getting close, but not um, garage enough. My MXR 108S EQ has a feature I had not tried yet - dual outputs. So with one output already going to the Spark, I hooked the other output to the Fender Greta. This is the first time I ever tried 2 amps together, and it is AWESOME. I set the Spark volume lower than the Greta, so I get the earlier cheap breakup of the Greta and the tails enjoy a richer model in the Spark as the sound moves from left to right. I don't know why I never tried it before, but the combination actually makes the cheap baby Fender sound like part of something great.
With no attenuator, it's going to be a problem to swap in one my real amps instead of the Spark later, but I'm loving where this setup is taking the piece.
Huh. A reason for stereo...

@BatUtilityBelt I think you should show us your music studio/man cave/music room or however it is you call it. I have the feeling that it must be a nice equiped room to make some music, sir...

Thanks! It used to be a nice studio before I moved. Now it is several storage rooms I pull gear from as-needed for ad-hoc coverage of whatever I'm working on. I have all the studs in my basement for the next studio, but I am nowhere near closing walls up and finishing it. As for pictures, I think all storage rooms look alike.
