Stereo Width and Panning

[simon.a.billington]

Physically recording double tracks is the most effective method, because even with that you could still apply some of the following techniques and still get a wider effect.

The delay are a start, although you could try a lightly longer delay time. I think the Cooper Time Cube, an old school device renown for being a good stereo widener, has its delays fixed at something like 13 and 17 ms.

Adding a little pitch drift into the mix will help enhance the effect, which is why tape based modulation was always effective back in the day, because thstnas done by speeding up and slowing down the duplicate track, which effects pitch. This what the Abbey Road ADT essentially did. However, you could always find osome other type of modulating effect. Although, you can achieve a similar type of effect with a tape delay, that has modulation or wow & flutter features, like H-Delay or the new bx_delay 2500. Just remember to set the feedback ultra low.

You can use reverb as well or instead of the above treatment and pan that to then complimentary side. I don’t think you’re looking for a particularly long decay time, just long enough to place the guitar where you want it in the track.

If you have a DI recording you can run that through some other complimentary amp effect and pan that to the opposite side as well.
