Seemed like this could use its own thread. Another forumite asked if there was something similar to the Keeley 30ms Double Tracking pedal in the Axe-Fx II and of course there is! It just might not be completely obvious.
It's wonderfully straight forward to get a nice double track sound ala old studio trick for double tracking with a stereo tape delay block.
Set a short delay time (30 ms comes to mind ) on the block. Attach an LFO controller to the Ratio and have it change it ever so slightly -- this gives you some motion to the chorusing that's super pleasant. You want the LFO rate to be pretty slow.
You can push the delay up further for more extreme "double tracking" chorus sounds. Around 120 ms it starts to sound a little slap-back'ish. 60 ms is pretty lush and nice. Also play around with the LFO rate (slower and faster) and how far you let it control the Ratio value. A slower LFO with a more extreme Ratio sweep is a nice, especially if you're trying to emulate your drunker self who did the overdubs.
It sounds like this:
