...looks like a practical solution for smaller venues.
However, I can say that it does sound pretty damn huge in pub gigs, especially in the band where I'm the only guitarist. The bass player and I both have one speaker either side of the drummer as our backline (my speakers are pole mounted). The dry signal is in the 'center', with the wet FX panned hard left and right.
Sounds pretty huge out front!
I've never used effects,but i'm thinking of doing the same thing(just to see/hear how it sounds),so let's have more posts about how members are achieving this,instead of "PRO" players who see no use in it

Don't confuse stereo with dual mono or W/D.
All different.
Wet/Dry rigs are, IMO, the most pointless things ever; the only point of a stereo rig is to get panning mods and delays, and even that's pointless unless for your own indulgence at home. (*unless again, the sound engineer is mic'ing the whole rig up in stereo through the PA)

With modulation it always seems to be too much or not enough so a wet dry set up should be the solution to that. I have a vague memory of a Pete Thorn thing where he said he had a wet dry ( maybe even stereo) rig playing in a trio but in a bigger band it worked better as a straight ( mono) set up. That feels about right.
I run into two Marshall stacks or a fender twin and Bogner mojado.
Whichever set up it’s very simple - a pair of cables to the amps and either the non drive effects in stereo or only to one side.
I cant recall an engineer having any issues - I just tell them I want two channels panned 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock and suggest the di is probably fine but do what you want to make it sound good in the room. Turn the amps up the level I need to compete with drums and the rest of the band can hear it and off we go.
I run stereo XLRs into the desk and then another line from one of the sends into a 3rd centre channel
i splice that just after the cab
i then have a dry centre amp and the fx like flange chorus rev and delay in glorious stereo
they still have about 20-30% dry signal in them and I balance the mix with the faders then group them together for overall volume
its also do-able with axe Fx
With 3 amps I had one slightly overdriven (65Amps London Pro) getting just the straight guitar sound and the other two amps (Fender DRRi and 5E3) where cleaner and getting all the effects.
It sounds GREAT but I wouldn't get them to a gig.
I've used two amps live a few times but as a dual mono rig cause I like how they complement each other. I don't really care for stereo effects, specially live.
