Looks like Steve Vai's Juice is fundamentally not "matchable"

Listening to the isolated guitar track from Jammit, it sounds to me like he's mixing either pre-cab signal or a distortion pedal into the final tone in some strategic places within the song to add grit. Just a tiny bit. That's an interesting trick I haven't heard before.
 
He dials it in for like a bar and then removes it => you can't match that tone with just one profile, and there's probably not enough of these "sizzly" fragments for another match. And even if I could create two tone matches, at the speed this tune is played at, switching between them with e.g. a pedal is really not an option for mere mortals.
