Question About ABY Switch

[JET-1977]

I've searched existing posts for the answer to this question....I've learned a lot about ABY switches...but not the answer to my question. I'm hoping someone can help....

I've recently joined a RATM tribute band (trying to recreate Timmy C's tone is some kind of cruel and expensive punishment). I want to run two amps and need to buy an ABY switch (I have a $50 musicians friend gift card but can add some cash to that). Seems like there are a lot of complaints about hum with passive ABY switches.

1) Is the grounding issue with ABY switches a problem when running two amps? or is this just when people try to run two signal chains through one amp?

2) Does the Boss LS-20 work for running two amps simultaniously or will it only switch between two? I read the owners manual and it didn't look like you could run two amps simultaneously with this

3) Any recommendations for me would be appreciated.

You want to run 2 amps at the same time? Get a Korg DT-10 Tuner and run one amp from the output and one from the bypass, done

I don't really want to do that because I do a lot of tuning during shows and I like to mute my output (I use a Boss TU-2 tuner) while tuning.

Do you want to run both at once or have the option of switching?
