I have a tiny marshall (MG15 Micro Stack), an american standard strat, and a Korg Ax1500g effects processor. I more or less clear everything off (ie, make the sound as clean as I can get it). I then set the Korg's drive modeling to compressor, turn the bass way up, the mid to about 3, and the treble to about 7.3. From there, I add adequate volume (almost enough to hurt my little amp), and set the guitar. However, I don't use the neck pickup like others on this threat (thus far). I set it to the neck/mid toggle, turn my upper tone down to about half, and my lower tone to about 8. I get a surprisingly accurate SOYCD tone with it, for both the first 2 solos. However, for the third solo, I have to do a quick change up.

I have this marshall guv'nor 2 distortion pedal (which I ADORE). I set the gain to about 2/3 the way up. Bass up to about 7, deep is off, middleis off, and treble is at around 6. I just kick it on while the Korg is still running the compressor (thus, getting a very gilmour'ish dirty-blues tone). Also on the Korg, I turn on the phaser, but just very lightly and very slow. From there, I just go to the middle pickup alone and riff'riff'galore. This seems to handle the 4-note repeating part (I don't know what else to call it), and the third solo very well.

For the rest of the song, I just turn the phaser off, and keep the dirty tone.

I went to school to learn how to make short stories long!

I like how you've done that... sounds like it should work very well.

Turns out I should be using the neck pickup! Thanks for the tip, fellas!

For solos 1 and 2: Neck pickup, mid-tone on about 3.
Solo 3: Neck pickup, tone at 10.
Rest of the song: Mid pickup.
