Has anyone ever heard of one like this? I imagine two separate amps driving separate speakers in a shared (2x12) cabinet.
They would have independent volume controls of course.
I was imagining something like stripping out a roland cube or a solid state fender for the left channel and building a real tube amp to drive the right channel.
I envision it as being similar to a pedal that splits the input and creates both a dry and a wet signal.
So you could use the cube to emulate a chiming clean sound and pair it together with a tube design that crunches real good. Or you could combine a digital distortion model with a real tube distortion.
Has it been done? Is there anything tricky about the idea other than the weight? Specifically I'm worried about phasing problems or perhaps some chorus effect that can't be dialed out.

I don't think you'd want to build them in the same box. I think it would really complicate things and I would think there would be way too many opportunities for induced noise. Why not just play into a splitter and run it into 2 separate amps. Lots of people do that.
I'm more interested in the packaging problems. Lots of guys have two amps, a handful have tube amps that they built themselves, but I'm trying to figure out if my idea is unique and if it it's unique enough then I want to decide if it's within my means to make it.
