how to connect to amp in stereo

right, so to run both channels on my preamp and my power amp my signal has to be in stereo, one to each channel. which is the cheapest/most effective way of doing this? the boss ch1 has stereo outputs, but is there a cheaper alternative?

What pre and power amp are you running?

it's a behringer ultragain pro 2200 running into a rocktron power amp.

A Y-Cable from Maplins like this one should sort you out: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=224856

so you want to split a guitar signal into stereo put it through a microphone preamp and then into a power amp?

Cheapest way would be make a single jack to 2 jack cable y cable even

Why do you want to do it?

sorry, i got the chain wrong. it'd be the guitar into one channel of the preamp and THEN splitting the signal to stereo, so i have 100 watts running into the cab, rather than the one sided 50 watts. but if there was no y cable, i would've had to get a pedal with stereo outputs

can the amp not just be turned to mono?

sadly, no it can't be turned to mono.

Y cable after the preamp then is yer best bet
