Hey guys,
I have 2 amps that I have running in stereo thank to my Stereo Chorus pedal.
1 is a 100 watt Carvin and the other a Fender Princeton Chorus (30 Watts or so).
I use the Fender on top to create the stereo effect. It is only turned up enough to make it effective. My Carvin is the primary source of volume. I run a delay, a Flanger, and a eq through the effect loop of the Carvin. Problem is the Fender isn't in the loop. It has it's own effects loop.

Is it ok to combine both loops?
Should I split the cables from the pedals and run to both loops independantly or is there a way to run patch chords between amps with the send going to 1 amp and the return to the other?
Hope I made this question clear.

I guess I could run a cable from the Fender's "SEND" to the first pedal input.
Then pedal output to the Carvin's "RETURN".
Then run a cable from Carvin's Send to Fender's Return.

Sound OK?

Well, it doesn't work. If I do it as described above, the Fender amp takes over and my Carvin amp is of no effect. For some reason my 4 x 12 cab is being run by the Fender. Wierd!!

Yeah, thats what I thought too. I just said screw it. My flange and eq and delay only run on the lower cab.
