Just bought a 1613. It has 2 p/u jacks. Anyone tell me how you plug it in to an amp

I'll be the first smart *** to say use a guitar cord!

You might find the manual for your preamp over on OvationTribute http://ovationtribute.com/Pr%E9-amplis/Ovation%20Preamps.html

I didn't see the old stereo set-up on that page. What I need to know is, will it tie up two ports on our sound system

Assuming that's a stereo setup... Only one jack is used at a time. If you use the stereo port, you need a split cable (same as 'insert cable' you'd use to insert effects into a channel on a PA). The 'Y' side goes to 2 separate channels or amps and splits the string signals. Strings 1, 3, and 5 go to one channel, 2, 4, and 6 to the other.
