Looking for input on a Vai type delay with harmonizer I think

At the 3:20 mark in the song “”The boy from Seattle” off of Alien love secrets. Seems like it’s a very long duel delay with harmonizing on the right side. i’m just curious if anyone has a patch like this or an opinion from another set of ears.

Where do you keep your global setting for the noise gate offset?

After reading the manual on page 66 it leaves me a little confused on where I should have this set at. After experimenting with it it seems like you can get it really hot but it has a lot of noise but I’m trying to achieve hot with no noise. Any suggestions?

I followed the instructions on page 30 of the manual to a tee. But I get no sound of the effect inserted to the loop. I'm trying to use a Eventide H9 max in the loop. Is it a level somewhere? The send block is empty on axe edit. Any idea's?

Anyone have any Ghost presets? Do they use III"s or II"s? I just saw them live and they had great tone! Something like the song "Faith" or "Mummy dust".
