Hey there

I'm trying to get the same guitar sound we can hear in Phoenix - Cool (The Chainsmokers Remix) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrnwEHeXvS0 (it starts at the beginning and we can hear it during the whole song)

I don't even know if it's really a guitar or a synth or wathever. Tried to do it with Logic and Sylenth1 (I don't have money to afford a lot of plug-ins so I almost never use anything else appart from Sylenth1 and the built-in Logic plugins)

I can get kinda close I guess, found a very nice preset in Logic's Sculpture which, combined with a guitar amp, sounds a bit close. Then it's all about Sylenth1 and distorsion on top of it and this is what I guess (bassline made with Sylenth1 and EXS24 as well) :

I added probably too much reverb and I definitely need to work a lot more on the EQ but still, I can't get the main sound...
Does anyone know or could teach me how to get a more realistic "electric guitar sound" like this ? I can send you the midi file I made and the settings for Logic's amp (just a preset I edited a bit) and the Sculpture preset.
