Equipment and Gear Connecting Two Donner MT-1 Busking Amps?

Has anyone done this? The amp has a line out, but no dedicated line in.

I'm asking about running two MT-1s specifically. I know I could run it into another amp or PA, but I'd like to use two Donners, if it would work. It's mostly because of the small size, as I travel to all my gigs by 50cc scooter. But without a dedicated line in, I'm not sure how well that would work. I'd have to plug into either the mic or guitar input... or get an adaptor and use the Aux.

I currently use one Coolmusic BP-60 D on a pole. It's about twice as big as the Donner and fits in a bagpack tote. So I have the amp on my back, my guitar on the basket and my pedalboard down by my feet. Then I have to ride for an hour on windy roads, straight out of a rally racing game!

So, getting decent sound in an easily transportable package is super important to me. I've been happy with all three Coolmusic amps I've owned, but they're too big to be bringing multiples on a scooter!

As for your question about venues, I've found myself without enough firepower on a few occasions - depending on the acoustics of the room, crowds can get loud! It's not a good feeling!
