A varied number of speaker sizes is enormously helpful when tracking. From Zeppelin to Foo Fighters (first record in particular), one of the bands-down best ways to create a sense of size/space on guitar rock albums is to pair big amp guitar tracks with small amp tracks.
Explain more.
Tracking one particular guitar part by doing it a few times with varying speaker sizes? Or, how would this look?

Experiment with mic placement, and don’t be afraid to get really creative: build tunnels with cardboard boxes or guitar cases, open the door to the bathroom and throw a room mic in there, etc.
Trying to record a 2+ guitar record with one big amp is a fool’s errand. Experiment with different sizes, placements, etc. You can really crank a low watt 10” and get some big bold colors, then get all sorts of sonic fireworks for your lead guitar through another amp.
Possibilities are endless and there’s no right way. Point is, your 10” amp has a vital place in your arsenal if you’re serious about recording songs with more than one guitar.
I dont know how to record. Im never going to record a band. i tried. I dont know. Fuck.
I should have taken some classes.
I can't even figure out mic placement nor really hear.

Yeah man. 5 teenagers in a room with like 3 total mics. That’s the way to go
I can record direct with my Twin. There is a modded additional master volume that i can cut and have a completely silent room while getting the same full twin tone through my focusrite.
