I copped a rage 158, fell in love with it, and so now I'm going to attempt a 2x2 arrangement using the frames to screw into each other. However, the only 1 in to 4 out powered switcher I can find is the whirlwind multiselector, and I can't accept that the only solution without buying 3 1->2 splitter pedals is a (normally) ~$500 piece of hardware.
Has anyone here ever had a simultaneous array of rages, or other combo amps in general?
Resurrecting the Wall of Rage
Re: Resurrecting the Wall of Rage
As I understand it your 2x2 amp set up would be 4 Peavey Rage amplifiers.
I had to look up a Peavey Rage. There was the Rage, the 158 and the 258. Theres some guy on uTube that had a wall of Rage with 6 Rages.

There seems to be a bunch of advice on the internet about how to split a guitar signal, so my advice is probably wrong!
I think this is something you can experiment with. I’d start with just paralleling all four inputs together, for your 1 guitar output to 4 amp inputs.
If that doesn’t work too well, try one effects pedal from your guitar, perhaps it would have an output buffer, able to drive 4 inputs for the Rages. I think the input impedance would be high on the amps.

Re: Resurrecting the Wall of Rage
I've seen that video and wish he had some footage of it. I actually just attached a second rage to my first one, and I had a boss pedal with two outputs. It sounds really good, one on clean and one distorted has a very neat sound. As does one with chorus and one just clean.
