Using two of the same type of amp is the most hassle-free way of doing this, because it decreases the likelihood that phase differences and ground loop issues between different amp types will cause difficulties. Use an effect pedal or tuner with stereo outputs, or a dedicated ABY box, to split the guitar signal into two, sending each signal to its own amplifier. The simplest way to set up a dual-amp stereo rig is to use two amps of the same make and model, in either a combo or head-and-cab arrangement. Take these two amps and run them in stereo, along with a stereo delay, reverb, or modulation pedal, and the sound becomes a fully enveloping, uniquely responsive musical experience. With two amps power is increased, the overall complexity and richness of the tone is enhanced, and musical sustain and feedback are much easier to achieve. As I've mentioned in previous articles dealing with the subject, two amps are always better than one. I have a strong preference for the dual amp/dual cabinet method of achieving stereo guitar tones, for the simple reason that it sounds the best, and gives the player the widest range of tonal options.
There are also economic factors to keep in mind, as converting a mono guitar setup to stereo sometimes requires a gear investment, however, many players will already have everything (or almost everything) required, and will need only to take some time to set it up properly. So, how does one go stereo? Well, there are a number of different ways this can be accomplished, and each method has distinct benefits and potential downfalls that should be taken into consideration.

And of course, for players that use delay and modulation effects, experiencing these tones in full stereo is powerfully addictive. At gigs, the audience will be more appreciative (even if they're not sure why), and for the guitarist, the sound on stage will be infinitely more inspiring, as well as naturally more immune to variability in the quality of monitoring and the overall mix on stage. In both studio and live contexts, going stereo enhances depth, power, realism, and dynamics immeasurably, for listeners and players alike. Every human with a functional pair of ears knows instinctively that stereo is always better than mono, because real life is stereo. Some players will complain about having to lug the extra gear to shows, or the added technical challenges involved in going stereo, but when it comes right down to it, these arguments are based entirely on personal laziness. There's really no legitimate excuse for not running an electric guitar rig in stereo.
