Hey guys,
I've seen the other threads regarding setting up the Axe in various ways for double-tracking-esque patches, but my question
is more to traditional double tracking (and quad tracking+ for that matter)
Can I do it with the same exact guitar on both tracks (or as many as applicable)? I mean for multi tracking high gain rhythm sections. I need to back off the gain
right? Let the doubling up and layering thicken things, yeah? What about cabs, amp and EQ? Do I need to go drastically different for each
take? One dark, one bright? Are subtle differences OK, or do they have to really vary sound and tone-wise? I typically run my high gain patches dry with a little EQ depending on the amp/cabs. I usually run two mono high res cabs panned straight down the center. If I find a patch that seems to be working and I back off the gain, record a take and then record another without touching a single thing, am I going to end up with lots of canceled frequencies and phasing issues? Assuming the playing is alright?
Any info is appreciated!
