it looks like he is running a boost into it, then direct into an impulse. I don't know what that boost is like but i tried boosting mine with a modded tubescreamer and running it direct into some impulses into headphones so I could A/B between his recording and mine. Sounds like the general character of the distortion is about right, though that clip is brighter and more scooped than the same settings on my clone pedal.
it may be that there are still some issues with mine and highs are getting pulled down somewhere (I do think its kinda dark sounding) or maybe he's just using a really bright and scooped impulse. I got the tone about right when I added a big high shelf boost (+5db at 3800hz) then a wide mid cut at 800hz (-3.5db, Q of 0.34).
