Yeah, that's a tactic I use very regularly on lead vocals when a double track should have been recorded and wasn't... this article may have been where I first heard of it, but I believe he makes passing mention of it in his book as well.

Unfortunately, almost every time I see these multimiking setups with silly amp combinations, the phase situation is too out of control to get the sort of blend I'd like.
