From Guitar Player December 2018:
"What effect are you using to make that strange vocal-like guitar sound on "Loading Zones"?
"It's a Ludwig [Phase II] guitar synth. It's the same one used on "The Diamond Sea", which is one of my favorite Sonic Youth songs."

In this article Rob Laakso, Kurt Vile's bandmate and engineer on the Album B'lieve I'm Going Down, says: “One thing was definitely handy for the pitch vibrato that Kurt wanted on the clean guitars,” he recalls. “We weren’t hauling our own amps around, so I was able to cobble together a pretty decent one out of the Eventide ModFactor. I remember at one studio, there was a Watkins Tremolo amp that we were all excited to use, but it made a horrible humming sound and wasn’t working right. Then across the room they had a Gibson stereo tube amp and that wasn’t working right either, so I busted out the Eventide and had a pitch vibrato that made everyone happy. That definitely appears on the record—almost any pitch vibrato you hear on the album, it’s probably that.”
