I have never done this before so any advice is greatly needed.

The main thing you will hve to decide is the location of your effects. Do you want certain effects to run into both amps or just one? I created a basic signal chain diagram.

So, to answer you question.

Yes, you can, but that means all your effects will run into both amps. Ironically, I think that Ditto pedal has stereo ins & outs, meaning that you could possibly use it as an AB box. :)

If you split your Dist pedals and effects pedal where does the ABY go?

It depends on which amp you want the effect to run into. Hope that image helps!
