I got a second Steel King on its way and was wondering what is the best way of hooking them both up?

Use a volume pedal with 2 outputs.....it's the simplest way .

Sounds good and very simple. Nearly 100 views and no other opinions?
Thanks Mike

If you have a stereo output from a processor they sound fantastic.
That reminds me of a story about using two SK once.
But I’ll not bore you with it now.
Problem is once you hear two SK in stereo you won’t want o go back to one amp.

I guy I know thinks he plays country music. Not
He plays a Strat through a Marshal stack, loves SRV and all southern rock.
His steel player had quit and he asked me to sit in at the last minute.
Knowing better I agreed, knowing all the while it was going to loud. Real loud.
Long story made short:
Two Steel Kings in stereo around eight on the volumes and away we went.
I thought I was going to die and felt like I had been beaten badly by half of the guys there.
He was absolutely stoked and pleaded with me to be his full time steel player.
Now I’ll admit the money was good, real good but my body would not have survived.
I declined and to this day he hails my participation in that one gig.

Sometimes I use two SteelKings. I use a pedal with two outputs. One amp is direct and the other is through effects (chorus, delay) and I use the amp reverb. No effects on the direct amp.

I tried my Goodrich 120 vol pedal with the two outlets and it will only run one amp?

Paul, I have two Goodrich pedals and both of them will run two amps. Check your connections - the outputs are parallel and should work. You'll like it hooked up this way.

I've got a Steel King and a Jazz King: I must get around to A/B ing them and trying them together. They sound pretty much the same to me...
