Well I didn't really know how to describe it in the title, I mean is there an effect which repeats the same thing you are playing at exactly the same time? The best example I can think of is on bohemian Rhapsody but I know May used a specially built amp for that sort of stuff.

Sorry for the poor explanation, I can't really think how to describe it properly and I know nothing about effects.

Doubletonez?

AB two amps, or a super tight delay time.

Very Short Delay. Any Analogue or Digital Delay pedal will do it.

That was quick, thank you guys.

or you could get a digitech harmony man or some other sort of harmony pedal that just generates the harmonies in real time.

20-50ms delay

you can enhance this by having one amp 20ms behind the other.

take a lead out of a stereo pedal pre the delay and plug in to one, and the take a lead out of the delay (which is set to 100% blend) into another. gives a big sound

technically this is what chorus is supposed to do (hence the name). analogue chorus kind of does the trick, digital is kind of another beast.

yea, delay or chorus. delay repeats the signal a fixed period of time after the original signal. from my understanding, chorus works in a similar fashion but the time delay of the repeated signal actually oscillates creating shifting phase cancellations. if an effect were to repeat the signal at exactly the same time you wouldn't be able to hear the doubling it would just amplify the signal.

fog machines make everything sound bigger, bro.

you can get a double sound sort of effect with a boss line selector with an A B mix it boosts volume and makes stuff sound fuller yeah, whatever effect is on one of the channels can make interesting double sounds so you can make two different sounds at one time with one instrument it just follows

sometimes i gets to a 'chorus' type effect, like for instance when you have a modulating effect like reverb on one channel, also good with a pitch shifter so you have some sort of harmony with just one voice or instrument, the clean blend on a pitch shifter sounds different then actually having a clean sound running parrallel, parrallel makes it sound fuller
