I'm experimenting with doubling guitar tracks using the following method, and i'm curious to see if any of you have tried it.
1st track -- raw 5150 with heavy distortion and scooping the mids out entirely, just so you get the lows, maybe 100-200hz and below, and the hiss (good hiss that is) maybe around 9k and up.
2nd track -- 5150 with tube screamer and minimal 5150 distortion (say around 10:30-11 oclockish). Boost the mids a little here.
By doing this I've got a much clearer signal, something a la DHIADW. The main problem I've been getting is that by doing this, it clearly sounds like there are 4 guitars playing, which I don't want. I'm thinking of splitting the signal and recording just one guitar take so that the guitar tracks are tight and hopefully that will make it sound like only two guitars.
Anyway, maybe you guys have tried it, lemme know what you think.
