Doubling guitar

Hey everyone. Im just getting into recording and i want to get the best out of what i have. obviously. lol. haha. I have a digi002 with an apple imac, a PreSonus pre with sm57's and I'm using dual recs and mesa cabs. Im into heavy rock with thick heavy sounding guitars. But i feel like I'm not getting the clarity as well as stereo spread that i want. I know i just have a 100.00 PreSonus pre.

Guitar Doubling

Can anyone tell me why when I record two guitar parts with no changes in amp settings or mic positions and pan them both hard to one side it sounds like sh*te(single sounds better than double. Double sounds hollow and distant)? If I pan one hard left and then one around 11 o'clock it sounds fine. Is this some kind of phase issue or frequency boosting thing or what?

doubling vocals

Forums

Could someone give me some tips on doubling vocals for affect. I'm recording a male trio and normally in gospel music you would record each line three times: one main vocal and two "stacks". However, each line is not right on with the previous in time and/or pitch (I know a little off is good but this is really throwing the entire thing off).
