Any of dudes use doubler pedals? TC Mimiq?

I used the Mimiq. I also use 2 amps. The Mimiq is after everything, on the Boogie. The Marshall is straight in after effects. My signal before the Boogie power amp is split with the GCX controller, so I come out of the GCX into Mimiq to the stereo power amp. My 2 amps, Boogie/Marshall, are split with a radial switcher. I set the Mimiq to #3 all the way to the right and the outputs slightly louder than normal volume so when I kick it in, it also boosts the signal slightly. It's not an "always on" pedal, it enhances tone for songs like "The Hellion", or when I want more boost than my MXR Micro amp gives. I have mini stacks of Boogie on either side of my Marshall full stack. The Mimiq is essential IMO.
 
I use a pair of mono rackmount delays...doubling is a very basic effect.

Except this thing, and similar, introduce a random waveform that switches the 'delay' left right up down slower faster etc. Super subtle though. Just enough to trick your brain.

Not saying your rackmount delays aren't killer.
 
I dont know wtf some of you guys are doing with this thing lol. OP, put one rig on each side of the stage, send an output to each amp, put the switch on 1 and step on the fucker, you’ll sound just like two guitar players as I displayed in my clip.

It’s more complicated than you might think. If you just double the signal on a short enough delay time (like under 5ms) then sure it will sound cool in the room but if you collapse it to mono, you’ll run into phase notchiness and it will kill your tone.

Realistic doubling is a lot harder to pull off. Along with slight difference in timing on the pick attacks, which also must vary slightly with itself every now and then, you have to add slight variations to pitch and volume. And these factors have to vary slightly almost after every note. Too uniform and it sounds like you’re using a chorus pedal. Too varied and it will sound like your phantom guitarist is drunk. :)

The Mimiq is cool as hell for what it’s able to do, and it’s quite unique in its capabilities as well.
