    Back-shot with both amps hooked up to my Gungnir https://i.imgur.com/1VvStZA.jpg. Can someone tell me exactly what cables I need and how to hook them up and not blow up all three pieces of equipment in the process?

    Edit: oops I didn't realize I had plugged in RCAs to the out section trying to figure it out myself. Don't mind that.

    So I just need two sets of cables, one going from Gungnir to Piety (assuming the "in" on the Piety), then another set of RCAs going from the "out" of the Piety into the LAuX? Sorry, I know this is a dumb question, but where does the RCA go into the LAuX? The SE RCA inputs? Those are the only RCAs I see...

    Why would you want to? It's just going to make it sound worse

    Noob must learn why double amping is bad, but also what the f**k a preamp actually does

    In this case you are double preamping, which is bad because you are going through 2 preamp circuits including 2 gain stages and 2 potentiometers (volume controls) where you should only be going through one. This cannot possibly improve things objectively in any way, although the additional preamp in the chain may sometimes color the sound in a way that is more to your preference.
