Indeed.. but seriously -
Roger, the guitar sound you are talking about is all about layers.
I would start off with 4 tracks of drop tuned guitars on a nice thick amp sound, maybe not using the treble pickup on the guitar - Pan these 4 tracks Hard L and Hard R.
Then try different amps, guitar/pickups and get a slightly more trebbly sound, create another 4 tracks and pan these inside the 'heavy wide ones'.
then any solos or riffs you can add in there with another sound - but make sure you double up every part so it doesnt stand out or.. get lost.
Oh, and when double tracking timing is really important. Try and decide on your rhythm part and stick to it.
In the mix I like to scoop out the trebblies and thicken the fatties or vice versa - depends on the tone you are after - but if you have grouped all the double tracked parts together its real easy to get a balanced guitar sound on 2 or 3 faders.
