Re: Two guitar sound

If you could provide an example (YouTube video, Soundcloud track, etc) that would help.

There are a few potential answerrs to your question.

1. The Chorus effect actually kinda does that. It copies your signal and slightly detunes it, giving the effect of 2 guitars. YMMV.
2. Smart Harmonizer on your POD. Plays the harmony part for you. Pretty common sound. Just don't play the wrong note.
3. Dual output guitars going through 2 signal chains.

  Hitchface, thank you, I will try the chorus and see if that works, not familiar with smart harmonizer. :)

    It really depends on what exact sound you are going for. A fairly heavy chorus effect will recall the clean guitar tones of the 80s.

        Now, try a dual amp setup.
        
        Start with a empty patch.
        For instance dial in a Fender Bassman as amp A and a Dr. Z as amp B.
        Make sure you pan the amps to the L and R - and crank your volume up

        ^ yes, and if you put a hint of delay ~ 20ms just prior to one of the amps after the split, it can thicken up the sound.
