What is the correct or safest way to hook up two amps together to be used at the same time?

Well, there are several things to consider with multiple amp hookups. Signal Attenuation – In most Fender amps there are two input jacks for each channel usually labeled I and 2.These two jacks are hooked up together in a very clever fashion. Input 1 is the one that we normally use. When used alone, that means to say with nothing actually plugged into input 2, Input 1 connects directly to your amp and has an input impedance of about 1Meg ohms. Input 2 when used alone is an attenuated or “padded” input. Any signal applied to input 2 will be reduced by 50% before it connects to your amp. The input impedance is much lower, about 130K ohms. When both inputs are used at the same time the situation is completely different. Now both inputs are mixed together equally through resistors at the input. Now it is possible to plug into input 1 and use input 2 as a send to connect to another amp or channel. This is the simplest way to connect amps together and has been done at some point by pretty mu
