Best Double-Tracking Pedal

Best Double-Tracking Pedal

I used to do that a lot : copy paste one guitar take to one or two track in the DAW, pan them and have different amp simulation on each.

That’s not what I do at all. That’s the same performance twice. What’s the point?

I play the part twice, usually though a different sounding amp/plugin. This brings the randomness of two performances.

I’ve even done this with guitar solos, learning the improvised solo, and playing it a second time on another track.

The only time I copy/past parts is for arranging, like if we want to add another verse or something. But then I’ll track the bass all the way though.

Here’s an example; there’s two guitars tracked through the song, each sounding different, and the solo was double tracked by recording it twice. Gives it a nice fat sound.

No amps (or acoustic drums) were used on this recording.

Mincer has it again - 'Cheesy & '80s' are probably what I am looking for. The harmonizer doesn't sound totally inaccurate. Looks cheap too?

A harmonizer is exactly what you need.

Try an Eventide with a minimum of cents off (.999 for example).

Totally 80's, too.

I don't think many here on the forum have tried an Eventide; I use a PitchFactor and DAW plugins.

Re: Best Double-Tracking Pedal

for the dual lead sound live go harmonizer

for live double-tracked riffing go tc mimiq

for the best recordings go real multiple tracks

This is the solution used by EVH on the first Van Halen album !

There's a setting on some multi-effects processors when using the stereo line outs that sometimes sound awesome. They usually have "wide" in the name of the effect on zoom processors.

I really like this one on headphones (not the remix). The two separate guitar tracks hard panned left and right but possibly another overdubbed at times..........not sure though since one side or the other stops whenever a cool fill comes in.

The Keeley 30ms doubler has a mode where it uses delay plus detune with stereo outs.
Haven't tried it myself but I bet detune would help accentuate the separation.

Appreciate the continued input here; after listening to a few, I'm starting to wonder if the tones I'm thinking of might have been created using a harmonized initially rather than any double-tracking.
