Can I plug 2 guitars into one amp?
It is possible to mix the signal of two guitars before going in the amp. You can even plug two simultaneously into a single input with a simple Y-adaptor; you can mix the relative loudness with the volume pots (though it will be fiddly).
Why do guitar amps have 2 inputs?
The #2 input is useful if you like to use pedals instead of your amp for gain/od. Also useful if you want a somewhat lower and presumably quieter signal through the preamp stages. What's even more interesting than this though is Fender wired the inputs in such a way that if BOTH are used the attenuation is bypassed.
Can you plug two guitars into a Fender Twin Reverb?
Yes it can be done. But: the DR has reverb on only one channel, so one player has to do without. And there's no separation between the two guitar sounds, so it's a challenge for each player to hear him/herself. I did it often through various 2 channel Fender amps back in the day.
