Can you connect multiple instruments to 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).

How do you hook up two guitars to one amp?

The Ampridge GA101 adaptor cable allows you to connect two guitars into one 1/4 inch phone jack input on your instrument amplifier. This adapter will work with passive or active pickups found in most guitars as well as basses.

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.
