send it to multiple amps / amp simulators at the same time.

    3 a/b/y boxes?
    On a more serious note: How about a small mixer with direct outs?

    I was thinking that too but you still have to get the signal to the inputs. Now if you have a multi-buss mixer that would work. For example run the guitar into a channel and assign that channel to all the busses and use the buss outs to drive the amps. This would be a line level signal and imp. load for the amp, so the sound would be different. It would be better to have a active device with hi-z outputs, at least for the real amps.

    Also, check to see if you have line outs of the amps ? If so you might be able to just daisy chain them. However, in that case you will be bypassing the sound of the preamp section on the next one... oooph.

    How about a headphone amp? That again, is the wrong kind of level though, isn't it?

    i've thought of a few things to try like a mixer etc but it just ends up
    being a cabling mess and noisy.

    rane has a splitter 26b i think that pops up on ebay alot that
    i might try also.

    Try talking to the lead tech at a reputable audio electronics repair shop... sometimes these guys dig on making weird stuff...
