He said in an interview somewhere hes playing his guitar through a modular synth and controlling the filters/cutoff with a midi keyboard.
Can't remember what interview it was. If someone would like to link us.

Yup, Jf gives one variation to how he made those sounds in an interview from the April 2009 Guitar Player. I have read a slightly different description in another interview some other time, but check out the article....It is short and has good info on The Empyrean and you can read it in the articles section of this site. I went back and read it again and pulled the question out for you:
What's an example of how you used modular synthesizers to create treatments?
There are several harmony guitars playing mostly long notes that come in at the end of Unreachable, which I ran into a low-pass filter set to sample-and-hold mode and controlled with a keyboard. So, when I pressed the lowest note on the keyboard, you'd hear only the lowest frequencies coming through the filter, and when I pressed the highest key, it would be the same as having the filter knob turned all the way up and the filter totally open - and pressing any of the keys in between would give you something within that range. I more or less played a drumbeat on the keyboard, but instead of notes coming out, the cutoff frequency of the filter changed, and that changed the sound of the guitars. I also did the same thing using a high-pass filter, and I recorded multiple takes of each type, and combined them during the mix. When you are filtering harmony guitars, you're taking certain notes out of the equation, depending on where the cutoff frequency is set. So, by doing several takes of it, I was hearing all the notes that I wanted to hear at various times, which gave the part some variety.

I've been listening to Unreachable a lot lately...mind blowing solo
What's gone will never come back
But it exists when you think of it
