You need a A/B, Y pedal switcher between your guitar and amps guitar input.
No need to use effect loops output

Run the second output of the Chorus pedal to the other amp.

"real stereo"?
What is it you want to do?
You gonna require two identical amps to achieve a true sounding stereo. Usually you will need some kind of mixer.

AB/Y gonna get you:
A= Dry (Champ?)
B= Wet (Monoprice?)
Y= Dry (champ)+Wet (monoprice)
That is essentially Dry/Wet (dual) mono

Really, wet/dry/wet is a better option than stereo. Deals with the dead spot phantom center. Your dry tone is more pure playing back on its own rather than having the amp's speakers play back both the dry and fx signals simultaneously.

IME 3 amps sound really good...even 3 completely different amps. I was having nice results with a CyberTwin ("dry"); and stereo 100% wet fx feeding a Princeton 65 and a tiny Peavey Rage 158...you'd really miss the 3rd amp when it wasn't there.

So, forget that...you could use your HOF to handle what you are asking; HOF to be last in the routing...chorus just before and that should deliver stereo out...it will be series, so you are limited there. You'd need a mixer and/or AB/Y for parallel fx.

ctreilzell, you forget today almost nobody know what is ( real ) "stereo" .


As you know, most of the time the music we listen to is directed mono , not stereo, and that's what our friend is looking for ; 2 amps in same time.
