Guitar doubling?

Hey, guys I'm looking to get a doubling effect for a mono setup and I'm looking to the pros for the answer :D. What I'm looking for is to get a double tracked guitar sound live. Kinda like what Dimebag did. I've tried using a delay but I couldn't seem to figure out how to get it to play just the delayed part with a very short time and not the original guitar part with the delay. Any help is much appreciated.
 
I think a search will turn up this subject discussed previously, but I for one welcome another try. My G-Force (yes I still have it) still does a better doubling *IMO* than I've been able to do with the Axe. It's not that it can't do it; the issue is that I have not delved into it with enough resolve to come to a satisfactory (for me) solution. The manual mentions using the Detune mode to create a double track sound, but my experience with it was not completely what I wanted.

It's in there somewhere for sure ;)

Hopefully others have succeeded and will share.

To get that kind of delayed split, you need to have the delay in parallel set to a 100% wet mix. That way the main signal chain will give you the dry signal, and the parallel delay will give you the full signal delayed. I do this in stereo with my piezo signal, except I also pan them left and right to get a nice big sound.
 
The other way would be to do the split before the amp, and then run an amp on each of the signals. That way you can dial in two different amp tones to create a bit more separation between the two.

I think, that's excatly what he didn't want.

So the solution would be to set the delay to 100% wet (I guess you are using the Axe in an effects loop of an amp then).
 
I've had some success with a chorus.
I've posted some presets on Axechange.
It was based on the article in the Wiki about chorus with mono ability.
By lowering the depth you can lessen the chorus effect but you get a distinct separation between left and right.
The presets are with one amp and churus and mixer post, two amps with either chorus post or pre amp.
You have to edit the levels, those were a bit off.
