Up the mids. Especially in live situations
 But sounding full with only one guitar is a lot about -what- you play

As Solle said, best way to fill the gaps is to play the fills yourself. This may seem hard, but watch what Hendrix did for example. He was the only guitar in a band and needed to play both rhythm and lead. Simplest way to achieve this is to use chordal embelishments, or fuller chords on distortion. If you're interested in some of these tricks, join me on Sunday on my video chat at 16PM GMT 0 (London Timezone)
This will lead to drifting away from the concept of your band tho. But so will the use of effects. As soon as you start using more embelishments, fuller chords, chorus, flanger or anything, the overall sound of the band is being changed. It's up to you to make it a good change tho. If you want my advice, here it is: pedals won't help that much, it would be best to search for another guitar player, and one who is good enough to make decent arrangements for his lines (so you don't have to make them for him).

What you can do fx wise is go stereo,
Put a delay on one of the channel of around 16-24ms and pan each channel hard L-R Don't forget to only allow the wet signal to go out and kill the dry signal, that's the way John Petrucci from Dream Theater does it, but still they have a keyboard player who is playing all the time -------------------- Visit my:

It depends what style of music you're into. I will give you one of mine Hendrix-based lessons that involves chordal embelishments:

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 23 2011, 02:08 PM)  Mate, i look at things this way - of course, depending on what style of music you are playing - you should try and create powerful grooves (meaning a lot of work on formulas between you, the bass player and the drummer) which can solve a lot in the case when you are the only guitar in the band. There's also another thing - try and convince your bass player and drummer to perform backing vocals (if they want to learn of course and if they are up to that challenge). Groovie music with a lot of well harmonized vocals in it is far better than anything  . Look at Audioslave for instance - and they only have one voice  best of luck Cosmin I agree with Cosmin 100% Rhythm section should provide additional filling of arrangements, and if bass player can sing backing vocals, this will already sound much better!

Using double stops will help. These are two notes played at the same time, on the same fret, on adjacent strings.
There is a lesson of mine regarding R&R soloing with double stops that should come out soon, so stay tuned! This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: May 24 2011, 08:38 AM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Some great advice so far from all the guys
Give pretty much all of it a try and see what starts helping in terms of what you are trying to get out of your sound.Your gear choice is certainly up to snuff As Daniel said, some Delay, going Stereo, etc. Can help thicken up your individual tone Also, what you play is big part of it as well. Being able to play and sing will come in handy now that you are filling up some empty space. Another "thickening" trick is to run a dry signal along with your clean signal to a separate amp and include it in the mix. It will bring out some of your picking and as the signal is uncompressed by processing, it can add fullness when layered under a wet signal. You can split your tone with a simple mixer or splitter like this one http://www.lehle.com/products/Dual/printve...n&type=Dual and send it to two amps to play with this concept. Todd QUOTE (KiddKillit @ May 23 2011, 10:27 PM) Thanks for the help guys Im into oldies style stuff like little richard , nick curran,ronnie self just rock n roll I would usually cut out and sing and im still working on how to do solos so im just tring to fill in what i can |

I'd say you need the bass and drums to kind of stand out more as a band. I think of bands like Pantera and RHCP for the example. You have your grooves but when a solo kicks in the band still has that groove going to fill in the gaps. So then you still have that feel/sound as if its still playing.
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Scarified_by_Racer_X/ I think this video kinda puts what I'm say as an example. Sir Realpe plays it all as a single guitar with just a drum/bass track behind it only. -------------------- Guitars:
