I've been trying to find something that can nail the harmonized sections of Zeppelin's Ramble On.

For reference the sounds are from 1:50-2:07 and 2:29-2:39 in the link below.

I've tried about every setting on my Digitech Whammy pedal with all the intervals but nothing sounds quite right. Maybe the only way to do it is with two guitars.

Is there anything out there you guys/gals know of that can capture this well?

Thanks!

I have the original isolated tracks of those parts if you want to use those…

Try some headphones. Each guitar part is isolated/faded L and R.
 
Two guitars with ebows or, one guitar playing both parts like JP does live.

Whammy pedal won't do it - you'll need a diatonic harmonizer; that is, a harmonizer that plays the right intervals in a song key. The whammy pedal simply plays an interval (eg; 4th) but does not adjust for the key.
It might be overkill but the Eventide H3000 would do it & I believe Digitech did some rack based harmonisers a while back
 
Im sticking my neck out on this one but my Intellifex came with a LedZep Harmonizer patch... I dont have it all setup but happy to share the patch if someone can tell me how to save it... I can get a patch on the darn thing, but cant make or back one up...

Or, you can just buy an Eventide H9, use your free algorithm coupon to purchase the Diatonic algorithm off of the Pitch Factor :thumbsup:
