[jymmyp]

Hi ya could someone please tell me what an ideal delay setting would be for a guitar track that i want to make sound doubled or in other words i want to take a guitar track and bounce it and add delay to make it sound doubled thanks for any help

Need more info:
What is your recording medium?
What effects processor are you using for delay?

For a "doubled" sound, you want to delay it very little, almost the minimum, and pan the dry guitar hard (all the way) to one side (right) and the wet (delayed) signal hard to the other side (left).

Doubling occurs between 20 and 80 ms and should be made to be a part of one beat, therefore varies with the tempo of the tune.

Take Care

With the right setting a chorus can achieve the double sound you're looking for.  I built a chorus pedal called the John Hollis Zombie Chorus and I use it to double delay my guitar.  Some chorus effects like the Zombie use a BBD delay chip to give super short delays resulting in a doubling effect.
