Warp versus really having two Amps
I read at a competitor's web page :
My Question : What's the difference between Warp and really having two Amps/Cab channels ?
One of the revolutionary features of xxxxxxx is its ability to provide two totally independent amp models at the same time. You have complete control over where they’re placed in the stereo field. You can pick any two amps and pan them hard left and hard right, send one amp to a xxxxxxxx external cab, or layer them right on top of each other. Just about anything you can think up, xxxxxxxxx can do it. For an even bigger sound, kick on the Double Tracker and now it sounds like you’re in the studio “double tracking” your guitar part. Once you experience two amps at once, you may have a hard time going back to just one. We did. Now, take a look at the over 70 amps you can double-up and party with.
One of the biggest benefits of xxxxxxxxxxx is its ability to run two completely different amp rigs at once. Players like Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, The Edge, and Brian May all have relied on multiple amps and effects paths to get their signature tones
Keith Richards has one of the most powerful “dirty rhythm” sounds known to man. The fact that his sound is clean and punchy, as well as being slightly distorted, gives songs like “Brown Sugar” and “Start Me Up” their classic tone. The secret to Richards’ sound isn’t a pedal or a studio effect. It’s as simple as taking two amps and running one of them clean, and the other one just a little dirty. Stevie Ray Vaughan also used this same type of setup to cut songs like “Pride and Joy.”

Live..same thing with a triggered delay in between heads. An Adam Jones trick... guitar to sig processors> stereo delay (efx on 1ch) > Marshall head A and Deizel Head B with 2 Boogie cabs.
I value your experience in old tube amps, studio recording techniques etc
The same site did have a sample MP3 of two amps, both with delays set at different settings. The sound began with a clean attack and progressively showed more delay as the chord was held. I suppose that effect could be possible on a single channel MFX by a delay that is triggered by input signal and also driven by a LFO.
Most people don'l like to drag two amps live, even for a stereo (independent) rig.
If you have more than one guitarist in a band, like I have, you can learn to play out of sync for power rythyms. Megadeth, Metallica and all...are not so tight on purpose. Listen to Avenged Sevenfold....the guitarists learned to play just a hair out of sync and it's a very powerful effective way of delivering the guitar sound.
When we record live bands, we demosntrate this to a single guitarist by delaying his monitor mix 2 msec. The results are very full! Even moreso after you pan the tracks 5-10% L/R
