Multitracking Rhythm guitar

[HemlockForTheGods]

up until now i've only tracked 2 layers of rhythm guitar in my demo recordings, hard panned 100% L / 100% R. Recently I read an article saying you can get a really chunky sound by recording up to 6 layers and panning them out evenly across the board. anyone have experience with this?

I've tried something similar, probably a huge recording no-no but it's worked great for me: 4 stereo tracks panned 100L 80R (these two with very similar settings) 100R 75L (similar settings).
