Listening now...

The first impression is I have to agree with the Vox amps. But it's not distortion, it's overdrive with some really sparse reverb on the track. As far as guitars go, any strat style body with 2 single coils and a humbucker should be able to emulate it. Using emulators might be tough to get this sound because it was recorded back in 1983, before digital media, and I am certain the guitar amp was close mic'd. If you are using an amp sim, you might have to tweak it quite a bit to get away from the DI (direct in) sound. When I was heavy into recording, I steered clear of amp sims and emulators for that reason.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
