Can I use an A-B box and blend the two channels together?

I asked a similar question previously and this was the response from one of the admins:

"The only way to do this would be to use a ‘Y’ adapter lead, or an A/B switch box that allows both A & B output to be active simultaneously. This effectively is connecting your guitar to both inputs."

Thought you'd like to know.

okay with that, but does this preduct make it possible to have one jack in each channel and switch between the two?

Yes you can use an ABY pedal to toggle between the normal and top boost channels (or run them at the same time and blend them.
I have an ABY on my board that I use to do just that.

And if you are running both channels (not just switching between them) does this just provide a more complex/flexible tone, or do you get a volume boost as well? I'm going to test it out tomorrow night at my jamspace, but I'm curious to know how people are using it. Also, another option that I assume will work (and the one that I will be trying) is using both the output and the bypass on a boss (or similar) tuner pedal - you loose the option to completely mute your guitar during tuning, but assuming you don't care, it's another way you can split your signal. I've used it to run through 2 amps at the same time before.

You will not get a volume boost. It will give you a gain boost as all preamp tubes are running in parallel.

i've asked this before and was ignored, but i'll try it again here:

is it okay to run two different guitars into the Normal channel and Top Boost channel at the same time? will this do any harm to the amp?

Yes, you can input two guitars, one in the normal and one in the top boost without hurting the amp.
