I'm wondering if anyone out there has some ideas as to how SV gets some of the sounds he uses at the beginning of "Whisper a Prayer" ...

I'm talking about that fat synthy sound with feedback - here's what I know so far:

1. Trem dips to get the floaty pitchy feel
2. The Jem if you crank up the gain and add some compression will decay rather nicely to a 3rd harmonic (Octave + 5th to the fundamental) and SV seems to do this, but his harmonics come in a lot stronger and more quickly
3. I know he uses Eventide harmonisers - was wondering if they account for the above?
4. Does anyone know if he relies on real acoustic feedback, or is it all electronic?

Any answers gratefully recieved ...
