Ok, so I found an easier way. I use two equalizers - one for each channel. I can then plug both into a "Y" patch cable for mono or still have them go to separate amps. I always used a Fender Super Reverb for the lead pickup and either a Bassman or an Acoustic 150 head and 105 bottom for the 2nd output. Yes, two amps was a lot to haul for small gigs. Of course the Super Reverb allowed me to plug each channel separate but no reverb on one channel.
