Pride

I used the Tech 21 Liverpool amp model pedal and came close to the tones in two live versions of Pride: Slane Castle and It Might Get Loud. This is my Fender Custom Shop Strat with Kinman pups into into Tech 21's Liverpool pedal into Axe-Fx delays & reverb. I add a modified FET boost model in the Axe going into the Liverpool for the Slane version. Two delays in all the clips: a one repeat 450ms delay into 4+ repeat 420ms delay (these are just lower and higher than a dotted 8th note delay, and provide a "thicker" repeat). At 105 BPM, 429ms is a dotted 8th note delay.

Recorded with Fractal Audio's Axe-Fx Ultra (FET boost for Triad model, delays and reverb) and Tech 21 Liverpool (amp model). Guitar: Fender Custom Shop Strat with Kinman pickups. The tone here is closer to the Slane Castle version (less highs and a little more grit).
