Relative newb to recording…

Been working on a song and have a fuzzy section that sounds great on its own but gets largely loss and feels more like noise in the mix once other instruments are added.

I’ve read / heard that you can improve the articulation of distorted guitar tones by incorporating a much cleaner signal alongside them. However, the videos I’ve seen that discuss this are using a DI track to provide a cleaner tone which I’m not set up to do at present.

So if adding a cleaner tone over the double tracked fuzz riff would I also want to double track that (so quad track that section)? In general, if quad tracking where do you finding panning the tracks works best (I do hard left and right for double most of time but am unsure on best approaches for quad placement).

Thanks for any suggestions and it’s entirely possible it’s an EQ issue or something else I just don’t know to ask about.
