Wet & Dry Amps
Okay, correct me please if I'm wrong, but is a wet amp one that is being used and a dry amp one that is not used but perhaps there for back-up?
Please explain!

I would think that a wet amp is one with effects, and a dry one without.

I'n not sure if this is applicable to the question but with FX, I believe wet is the modified signal and dry is the original signal w/o the effect. So you mix in how wet or dry you want the signal. Usually applicable to time delay type FX.

Dry usually means without effects.

wet&dry amps
 Sorry guys if i am missing the boat with this 1 my uderstanding of a dry amp would be that you are still using effects like distortion and overdrive but without reverb I think the style of music you are playing mist play a part i can not imagine something like pink floyds run like hell minus delay and chorus

You're right, at least from a certain point of view. In the live world, all pre-amp effects like distortion, compression, eq and the like would be considered 'dry' or just pre-amp effects. Time based stuff like reverb, delay and phase effects would be considered 'wet' alterations of the sound.
In recording, 'wet' also refers to alterations of the original, 'dry', sound in post production. The main difference is that an engineer can also add any other types of eq and compression and the like as an effect, altering the original 'dry' track. The original track as recorded might have some sort of reverb on it, but for post production purposes, the track is considered 'dry' or as originally recorded.

Thanks guys!
You've cleared that one up nicely for me. 
You see, I was watching Joe Satriani's latest DVD and in the bonus section it showed Joe's Peavey JSX amps and he had two wet one's and one dry on stage.
