It's Angelic
Like staring into a nebula while a gas giant is going supernova off to your left. And a new galaxy is being created from the clash of two black holes that will bring new life to the universe. A chorus of Angels singing to let the universe know that perfection has been achieved.
All you posers with your other multi-effects processors just can't hang. Just kidding! I love and respect each and every one of you reading this. But seriously, save up and get one of these. I want a second or third one.

James uses an Eventide H3000 Harmonizer live. It is the effect they used live on The End Is The Beginning Is The End for the super high squeely notes. It was the first "intelligent"/diatonic pitch-shifter ever when it came out in 1986.
Used on the organ for "Take Me to Church", stated by mix engineer Rob Kirwan in this March 2015 Sound on Sound interview.
Guitars & keyboards: TL Labs TL Aggro, Avid Trim, Waves Puigtech EQP1A, Eventide H3000, Focusrite Red EQ & Audio Ease Altiverb.
“Below the ‘Kit Plate’ aux track are four organ tracks. The top two were recorded through an amplifier via my 57 and Delta mics, and below that is a distorted organ track, with the Trillium Lane Labs TL Aggro compression plug–in on it and a Pultec EQ. The ‘Organ 3000’ track is probably me putting one of Andrew’s Logic organs through my Eventide H3000. Further down are six guitar tracks without any treatments — the ‘T’ on one of them is a Trim — and below that are the piano tracks, some of which are again heavily edited. Andrew wasn’t as good yet at playing the piano. He’s very good now, though! I got him to do the left hand separately, which are the ‘New Piano’ tracks. I once again had the Focusrite Red EQ plug–in on the piano, and there’s a ‘Piano Verb’ aux track, which also has the Wendy Carlos EMT plate from Altiverb, just with a different pre–delay. In general I like to create a sense of everything coming from the same space, so the Wendy Carlos plate is on many things in this song. There’s more piano below that, again with just Focusrite EQ. In all there’s a lot of piano, it was one of the most important elements of the song.”
