Help me dial in this sticky lead tone!

Hey guys, hope everyone's enjoying their Axe!

I'm here to request your help in defining some key characteristics of this Haken lead tone from their album Aquarius. If it helps, I know that it was probably heavily inspired by Brian May from Queen as it has that very present, nasally (in a good way) quality.



The video should start playing at 6:03 but if not, that's the timestamp of the lead I'm referring to.

So anyway, any tips on how to achieve the sticky, nasally squishy sound of this lead? It's got a really chunky thickness that I don't hear in a lot of driven leads and I think was done so purposely given the playfulness of the part in question.

I typically use the HBE for rhythms so if I could squeeze this out of a patch using 1 amp block that would be ideal! Thanks for the help.

Oh and by the way - if you've never heard this album before do yourself a huge favour and listen through from the beginning!
 
I saw a Charlie Griffiths interview and he said he used Amplitude into Logic to do the album...

Pretty impressive stuff.

Good luck.
