You still need a splitter, but I think you can do it with one amp. One signal to amp imput and second signal to amps effect loop return. I have read that the effects loop return can be used to have a second guitar plugged in at the same time, so in theory this should work (I think - I have not tried this myself).

If what you are looking for is two parallel signal chains, this can be done with a mustang floor + a Mustang 3 (or 4) without any splitter, or external cabinet, here's how:

This is like having two parallel rigs (as you can do in Amplitube, for example):
-conect your guitar to the MF instrument input.
-Connect the MF fx-send to the M3-4 instrument input
-connect the MF unbalanced output to the M3-4 aux-return and adjust the MF level output level
-Configure two complementary presets on the MF and M3-4
You can do some pretty great stuff with this setup!

Having two parallel rigs is IMO, more useful and brings you way more possibilities than putting two pickups of the same guitar through the same amp... which in essence is like an expensive way of putting your pickup selector switch in an in-between position :mrgreen:

Hi Scott,

the reason I posted this is because I'm not sure the following step would work as expected
"- connect the left (or right) output of the M-Floor to the left (or right) fx return of the M-V"

at least in the M3 (the only amp I have experience with), as soon as you connect anything to the FX-return, you mute the Mustang audio chain, breaking one of the two parallel signal chains we are trying to accomplish. That's why I suggest to connect from the Floor back to the Mustang 3-4-5 on the aux-in. But again, maybe the M4-5 are different in this respect.

The other thing is that you can use the Mustang floor FX-send as a splitter itself, you don't really need to split the signal before the floor (and avoiding any impedance mismatches you may have with a passive splitter, if that is the kind of splitter used)

Hi jedi2b. The M-3 has a mono fx-loop. The M-4 and M-5 have a stereo fx loop. By connecting to just one channel of the fx-return on an M-4 or M-5, you only cut off that one channel.

So my suggested connectivity preserves the separate left and right signals from guitar-to-speakers, which was the original request.

On that point, the OP doesn't want to split a single signal: there are already two signals direct from the guitar, the point is to keep them separate. I like your proposal, but it's solving a slightly different requirement.

Thanks for the clarification Scott. I stand corrected. I learned something new about the M4-5.
