Thanks bud. I was able to some how configure the settings on my Boss GT6 and I don't know if it was just just luck but I got it pretty close. And I should add that I am also using 3 different EQs for the same patches on the GT6 to get close to the tone. For this song I have two different harmonizers set up for the solo on different keys for when it goes into the key changes towards the end of the solo. And yes like you said it wasn't easy.

Refering to your comment on the gear I used, All I am using is my GT6 Boss processor, theres a patch in the processor that has a high mid distortion, so all I did was tweak it with a stereo chorus, added 3 layers of EQ over it, a light wah, some delay and reverb all from the GT6. As for the harmonies. I added multiple harmonizers for the key change in the solo. I have 4 presets per bank. Preset 1 is the clean clorus. preset 2 distortion boston tone. preset 3 harmonizer for leads preset 4 harmonizer in diffrent key for key change towards the middle of the solo. And for this video I am just playing line in to my Presonus 1824c. No effects from my daw and not going through my amps.
