So why John uses this 2 pedals?

Does he turn them on together at the same time for soloing or he uses them separately in different songs?

Thanks.

Not sure when or if he uses both pedals at the same time. But its usually a good idea to have different kinds of Distortion. For example, I use an English Muff'n, DS-1, and Russian fuzz. This covers OD/Dist/Fuzz . It allows me to basically get all ranges of distortion that I want. I don't combine them, as I've always found that combing two distortion pedals leads to not so pleasant sounds.

Who knows though, maybe someone knows for a fact if john uses two dist pedals at the same time.

Well I think he uses it because he likes the sound both of them together. Also, he said once in an interview that he used both pedals at the solo of dani california. If you listen to it you can hear some difference in the sound between the chorus sound (ds2 alone) and the solo sound (ds2+muff). I think he also might have switched on both pedals some time during the slane castle show to create this singing solo sound.
Hope that helped.
