Want to run two amps. Check me on this.

Guitar in to amp one. Out of amp one Send in to Boss Super Choris.
A out of super chorus into return of amp One
B out of super choris into return of amp Two.
 
Yeah, that´s stereo, or at least dual mono if the amps aren´t the same.

If you run into a ground loop hum, which is a possibility but not at all certain, you need to lift the shield on the cable going from the Boss to one of the returns. Or use a isolation transformer if you have one handy.

I´m not sure if all amps are in phase from the return to the cabs, if not they might start cancelling each-other out when running at the same time and sound super small and washy. In that case I suspect it´s easiest to add a isolation transformer with a polarity switch, like mentioned above.
 
I can't remember but I ran a boosted zakk halfstack and a tremoverb halfstack with a boss chorus ensemble and digital delay. It had crazy chorus sounds but I put the tiniest bit of delay on the 2nd amp and my God it sounded like a wall of stacks man. That was when I was trying to get the zw ozzy sound. Early 2000's I believe. Sorry I'm not anymore help-I just can't remember. However if you can-PLEASE try that delay trick with amp #2...

A line out will work better imo and if the amp doesn’t have one, Bray makes a box that you plug your speaker cable to, then an additional cable to the cab of course but there’s another line out on the box that you use an instrument cable out of and to your FX, then to the 2nd amp. The FX send only sends your preamp signal while the line out gets the whole amps tone. 50$ for the Bray or 200$ for the Suhr version which adds an iso transformer. I have the Bray and no issues with my vintage Marshalls.

Edit: Disregard. I thought you were slaving…this is what happens when I read too fast lol.
Yes your setup will work fine
 
i tried it briefly at lunch... it works, but i think i have a little phase thingy going down.
punch on chorus and volume drops considerably...sounds cool but, don't think the volume drop is correct.

ETA: when chorus is OFF, amps are punchy, full etc... i'm assuming, maybe wrongfully so, the chorus could send it out of phase? or maybe it's just sucking the tone?
 
i'm liking the sound of that idea...front of both amps out of chorus...

i'll run my delay/verb in the loop of one of the two amps... a pseudo w/d of sorts.

It sounds like it might be just sucking the tone. Since your basically going into the power section of each amp you shouldnt have phase issues at all.
 
As others have said plug Guitar into Boss and feed each output from the Boss to each amp ... you still might get a ground loop
