Bump… I’d love to see something along the lines of the Mimiq!
There are several ways you can approximate a double-tracked sound. Each way involves separation.
Each of these things will help you get closer to a double-tracked sound, but there's no perfect substitute for actually recording a part twice.
- Separation in time — use a delay;
- Separation in space — pan left/right;
- Separation in frequency — use pitch shift/detune;
- Separation in tone — use different amp and cab sims, different effects...the sky is the limit.
Has any one tried this?
THIS ^Yes. As Rex said above, there are various ways you can take identical L and R channels and apply effects to make them different, thus making a mono track sound stereo. This is just another one of those techniques.
However, that's not an emulation of double tracked guitars. In other words, true double tracked guitars don't sound big because one channel has the phase flipped or a chorus applied or one side delayed or pitch shifted or have complementary comb filters. They sound big because of varying and complex temporal and dynamics changes. The Mimiq and Kemper Doubler attempt to emulate that complex effect and are different than simple stereoizing techniques like phase/chorus/pitch/delay. Simple stereoizing can be a pleasing effect, but that's not an emulation of double tracked guitars.
