~10=== Fake Double Track ===If you want to get a double-tracked-like sound but have to do it live with one guitar, you can use a low-feedback, very short delay. You want like 5-20 ms for of delay, 0% feedback, and like 80% wet to 100% dry mix. Obviously, it's not as good as the real deal - a real double track (that's well-done) has essentially random comb filters, while a fake doubled guitar fixed delay has a fixed comb filter. That's gonna leave some nulls and can hurt your high end presence. Personally, I'd rather use some reverb, compression, or more distortion to thicken up the sound.
dampening/darkening tone === Nice Echoes ===I find around 600-700 ms is a good range for a distinct echo. A good setting with a low feedback to get maybe 2-3 repeats. To get a more realistic sound, I find you should darken the tone slightly - this is similar to a real echo that has to travel a far distance. The highs tend to weaken over distance more than other frequencies.
Changing === Pitch Effects via Rate Changes ===A neat trick is changing the rate/time with an expression pedal for pitch effects that mimic the chipmunks sound. If you can program to cap the ranges of the expression pedal, you can program purposeful whammy jumps on your delays.
Infinite === 100% Feedback ===Using 100% feedback for an intense build-up of soundmeans anything you play will never go away. At first it just sounds like a looper, but as you add more and more to it, you are eventually overwhelmed as it becomes a chaotic, noisy mess. You can then toggle it off and back on and start over.

=== Stereo Delays ===Here's some cool ways to set up a stereo delay:* Ping-Pong - Some delays have a ping-pong mode where the delay will repeat every X ms, but it will alternate between L to R each time, sounding like the delay is bouncing back and forth. This is more difficult to program without a specific mode. Say you want 100 ms. So the L is 100, 300, 500... while the R is 200, 400, 600-700 ... The R can be done with a simple 200 ms for delay, but the L needs a distinct echo200 ms delay, with 100% dry/100% wet mix, run through another 100 ms delay with no feedback and fully wet (100% wet/0% dry).* Even Ratio -
