You wont get that sound with a pedal no matter how much you try.
If you really want that sound you get get pretty close with a mark IIC+, III or IV.
You'll need to add a V30 cabinet. Scoop the Graphic EQ. Record 4-6 takes with tight heavy technique.
You won't get the album sound through pedal nor playing the amp in a live environment.
I just hope you are not under the misconception that you can replicate a recorded tone through playing an amp live. A lot of people make this mistake and end are disappointed.
An example from my aspect is that I love the In Flames Clayman/Colony era tone.
That was recorded with 5150 and ENGL Cabinet that I also own. They also use EMG's which I have equipped in my guitar. Now even if I had the same technique as their guitarist the sound coming through my amp would not equal the sound on the recording of the amp.
To do that I would need to use the same mics and be able to mix the bass/drums like the engineer did and record the same amount of takes.
Sorry for the rant!
