Lol, fair enough. Im just glad i bought all the cabs and such when i found a deal, like the Sunn Sonaro cab that someone had used, and im not kidding here, an old bedsheet for the grill cloth, but it was 25 bucks and the speaker sounded good(although the metal voice coil dome cover is broken). I loaded up a Big Ben into it and now its part of the wall, fed by the Peavey Standard

Grill cloth is easy to replace! And any cab for 25$ is a steal!

Sounds like you need to invest in the voodoo labs splitter. Can run 4 amps at a time with it and sounds exactly like the thing you need.

Multiple amp rigs is the way to go!

But, 5 of them??? Wow! I thought I'm pretty crazy as I'm running 3 of them, with bass, one clean, one fuzzy and one for the loops.

It would be more like:

A is
amp 1
amp 2
amp 3
amp 4

B is
amp 5

So basically 4 connected to the A input and 1 connected to the B
Why not use an A/B in to an A/B/C/D? So that the first a/b chooses between A that leads to the 4 way splitter (the A/B/C/D) and B which leads to amp 5?

BTW I can't locate a 4 way splitter but both Morley and Lehle make three way splitters.
This guy has a buffered 4 way splitter: http://srceffects.com/store . (scroll down). says: "Provides four buffered outputs for running multiple amps ... "
He might add the 5th output and two stomp buttons?

I run 3, more than that I think would become way to impractical to gig with. 3 is already pretty impractical but worth it IMO. The sound is immense and it does get noticed!

Well, yeah, if I could afford two Meatsmokes and get away with that, would rule.

Yeah I've really not looked back from a single rig to a dual rig. Great for tracking guitars, great for live use.

Agreed!!! I personally find one 200w head with two big cabs does me just fine.
