Helpful tip: when you want advice about a certain tone, post a link to a clip of it, like so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOSuObRNBUA

It definitely sounds to me like a stacked distortion, e.g. a distortion pedal into a fuzz pedal, or a distortion pedal into a driven tube amp, or two cranked tube drive pedal in series, etc. More than one source of distortion, and probably two different flavors--one into the other. Experiment, it shouldn't be hard to get there.

I don't know if this really helps much, but his live board has a Boss LS-2, Boss Ds-1, EHX NYC Muff, and an EHX Octave Multiplexer.

I was gonna say i've read in something where he said he used that board.

He has pretty amazing tone. Vlad the Impaler is sick. Vlad the Impaler
