Very interesting Todd, thanks for sharing This should be in the Wiki.
I noticed something else that I want to look at, he seemed to have the left and right track in the true double take section, in a single track that was acting like a folder. I must check that out.

One of the 'tricks' of double tracking (which has been around since the development of 4-track recording - early 60s) is to slightly tweak the tone/eq of the doubled part. Another trick is to drastically change the tone. Guitar 1 - scooped, all highs and lows. Guitar 2 - all mids.
If it's a fake double (copy and paste), pushing one of the parts forward or backwards in the timeline by a few milliseconds can both make it sound more 'real' and also correct possible phase issues. *The Beatles ADT (automatic double tracking) was this. A second tape machine that offered a very very quick delay with one repeat. They used it on voice, piano and guitar a lot (and this is in mono). -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

The age old rule with a double is to grab another guitar or switch pickups or plug in a different OD or change the settings on the same OD - just make it different. Even a tweak of the tone control will suffice.
One of the issues that can come up with a straight copy/paste double is that you will have some (or a lot of) phase problems. In fact, it's one of the things that can make guitar parts sound smaller. There is both hardware and software that can time align a track. Little Labs IBP is probably the most notorious. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

In the 80's this was ubiquitous on recorded guitars ...
