Which pedal(s) or this sound?

Beginning at 3:45, and more so at 7:24, and particularly with behind the nut bending in 8:04 (no picking at all). At first I thought it was just feedback and picking, but he doesn't pick often for this effect. And it can't be just "stand close to the amp" feedback, because feedback also occurs during quiet part of the song and low volume, all throughout the song. Then I thought it was e-bow, but the other guy (James) has the ebow, not Billy.

So is it a mix of delay, sustainer and feeback pedals?

Feedback please? Thanks.

Re: Which pedal(s) or this sound?

I'd so a sustainer (maybe in the guitar) plus one of the many ways smashing pumpkins get their dirty tones but it could just be really really high gain causing feedback but the bit at 7:24 sounds like a sustainer through lots of gain
