I kind of remember reading that he never used an amp on records- just DI. Sounds like a lot of compression going in. I've gotten similar sounds with my strat and DI to an actual mic pre/ comp channel strip (as opposed to a pedal).

Delays such as the rhythm guitar on Let's Dance were a Bob Clearmountain thing, more than a Nile thing, if I had to guess.

About 4:00 in this fascinating video, Niles explains the reason for using the delay like that.
