To the above poster, listen to the first post-chorus and second verse of the song "Rocket" (after Billy sings "no more lies") and you'll get a good idea of what the original poster is referring to.
Billy used a Electro Harmonix Micro Synth a lot on the record which gave some tracks that octave sound. He also used a Ring Modulator frequently (Rocket intro is 1 example). There was an Eventide Harmonizer at the studio though I'm not sure if it we used it on guitars...possibly. The other previous post about the part guitars is also correct. Billy is really good at orchestrating guitars.
