Replicating the "Crying to the Sky" Whaling Guitar

I have an AXE FX III which is whole beast of modeling amps/pedals/ etc.. So I thought I would be able to get close to that super saturated valvvy (<<< new word) tone of the lead guitar in the most beautiful track "Crying to the Sky"...

But where do I start, what guitar (neck/bridge pickup) , what amp (s) cabs should I be trying to emulate, were they Mic'd up or DI.


Any help appreciated.

Also, the sound of the thunderclap at the beginning of the solo is a part of it as well. Prince definitely now that I know he was a Bill Nelson listener copied that at the beginning of his guitar solo in 'Purple Rain' methinks.
