hd500 in stereo with 2 combos?

[vinnies]

i'm running my hd500 into my boogie dc5 combo. i'd like to use the dc5's tone and use the stereo effects of the hd500 in stereo. right now, i primarily run the hd500 effects only, no modeling - i'm in love with the boogie tone and haven't found an equal in the models. how do i set up the loop from the hd500 to 2 amps? do i run the single hd500 send into a TRS with 2 1/4" cables out of the single TRS to the 2 amp's loops? thanks...

You'll need a Y cable (TRS to 2 x TS), as the HD500's loop out is a stereo TRS but you'll need mono TS inputs for your amps.

Careful with the effects you use as well, as some of them will sum to mono.

awesome, thanks. that makes sense...

Another option is: guitar - pod HD500 input - pod HD500 send - Dc5 input - Dc5 send - pod HD500 return - pod HD500 L/mono output - Dc5 return....then pod HD500 R output to 2nd amp`s return

thanks alexis, that worked out great for the stock hd500 stuff, got stereo! i don't have a loop on my second combo, but went into the front of it. like the 4 cable method, i lose the boogie tones using this tho.
