Anyway GAS is GAS!
What I do know is, even a 3 channel amp for me is something of a compromise. So the 4 channel Diezels are *really* giving me a broner right now!!
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I think this hits the nail on the head. Look at Iron Maiden, who have three guitarists who all basically use Stratocaster type guitars through Marshall amplification yet they have no particular issue because a lot of thought goes into the arrangements. The effect is exactly what Danny1969 describes. Obviously having everyone using the same amps requires a bit more thought but it's only a limitation if you don't bother to work on the arrangements.
Using exactly the same gear mostly.
There's that Herbert in the classifieds...
Sounds like my kinda band!!!
Two Krakens albeit 6l6 and el34 sound great together. I'm pretty sure many bands have managed with two Marshalls or Fenders.
You'll probably enjoy it more with the amp you want and therefore be more creative possibly?
After spending some time thinking about it my gut feel is that it'd work absolutely fine. Everything in the chain makes a difference to the tone, and many bands have two or more guitarists using the same speakers, same picks, same guitars, same pickups, same amps, same strings, same delay pedals, same cables, etc...
I think there is some sense to the different voicings argument. But that's if you WANT different voicings, and often times metal bands kinda don't. They want big in yer face walls of sound, which are equally attainable with two of the same amp imo.

While i was still touring, we had a Laney endorsement so we both used Laneys, when we played Download we both used Marshalls and a lot of the bands we'd play with would often have a couple of 5150's or a pair of Rectos. The whole separation thing is something that happens on the internet, if you go out and play live and rehearse hard with differing guitar parts you'll be fine. I used to love really locked in palm mute sections when me and the other guitarist would really connect, it created massively fat tones.
Most of my experience is at high gain, if that makes any difference.
Well the other guitarist hasn't ruled it out, and I have someone coming to possibly buy my VHT Sig X on Monday, so a VH4 or Hagen isn't totally out of the question!
My main gripe with twin guitar bands is when two guitarists are playing the same part. If guitarists are playing the same thing as each other then lose one guitarist as it just muddies tone and clarity.
I had hope that the other guitarist would get something else after I accidentally set his amp on fire but he bought another identical one (its an AVT too not even valvey).
