i aways double guitars at most, sometimes i use just one track with a panned delay or reverb.
i don't like how quad tracking sounds for my type of music, but i will try next time i record a heavy lesson, how do you eq the tracks man?, i guess you should have a couple of bassy tracks and couple of shinny? --------------------  Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

I had a friend who created some sort of 'fan' structure on the grid with 8-10 tracks of the same riff. I never thought of asking him how he did it, but it sounds a lot like what you're talking about here |

The rare times I track and mix I prefer parallel compression to both tbh.

Depends on the arrangement, sometimes if the composer envisioned richer and fuller arrangement, you can use multiple layers.
If we talk about multiplying same or very similar takes, that depends on the style. When I do quad tracking, I'm doing it with caution, cause the takes can loose on the dynamics and muddy up the mix easily. Reamping is good for this, recording all 4 tracks clean, and then making various presets, different amps work well, different plugins, because they generate different frequencies. Also, if you make 4 tracks, then very little distortion is needed on at least to of them, almost clean recorded, slightly crunchy, because it any other case it will lower down the dynamics of that particular guitar segment in the song. More than 4 tracks is often not needed, those layers will be just lost in the mix. If you cannot make it work with 4 tracks, then something ain't right. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
