How to emulate this sound

[Muser]

you need an amp that has great presence and can break up on it with subtle sensitivity. I doubt any pedal could produce that well. even with a nice pedal, it depends what you're feeding with it as what it does.

I'd say these are good candidates. also Japanese often tend to use modern guitars like Ibanez and these have a very stable clean sound. so an Ibanez into a VSE FX whitehorse might do it for example.

If this is just for recording purposes virtually any distortion plug should do the trick. Just have a clean track copied to a separate track where you can drop in a distortion plug and blend the two.
