With 2 or more note chords depending on where you are on the neck and how even the chord is originally struck and how much energy you feed back one voice can start to overpower the others, but it takes a long time. So I would say in general its controllable and workable with chords once you get the feel of it, but its not perfectly even like pressing and holding 3 keys on an organ.
The middle section of the video demo (I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You) is a two string melody, and in a couple places on the non video samples you can hear me using it with 2 or 3 note chords. In the live 1 Angel From Montgomery chorus I am playing full chords and then using it to sustain them and give them a moaning quality. In particular on the live 2 audio sample I switch between a single note line and then play some very long third intervals with a lot of vibrato and then back to single notes. These are a couple possibilities of how to use it, its there if you drop the volume pedal otherwise you can play completely normally.
