Lots of good points made. The right guitar, vibrato, bending, etc is more important than exact effects and amps, but they are important too if you really want to nail it.
With my beater strat (Duncan ssl-5 in bridge) and my POD I can get in the ballpark. I also spent a lot of time learning to play like that when I was younger so it has become a part of my style. Anyway, a decent overdrive and a bit of delay into a clean amp will get you close for the leads. For rotary the Lex is probably the closest you can get without getting an actual Leslie or similar. A good univibe will do it too. I had the VL Microvibe but honestly liked the vibe in my pod as much or more so I traded it away. Still want a quality univibe though.

You don't have to obsess too much on the exact gear. It's more about your settings. Use a stacked OD/muff combo with a neutral voiced OD. Put your time based effects in the loop and run the chorus first with a very low rate setting. You don't even really want to hear a chorus effect, just want the hollow tone it adds. Then run delay and reverb. A single pole loaded guitar is a must IMO.
I never really took the time to learn that song but being a guitar dork I had to take a shot at getting that tone after picking up a Musket fuzz.
I took a few passes at it and then recorded this with a SM57 and a looper pedal.
Here's the clip. I used: MIA Deluxe Strat > BD-2 > Musket > T15 head into a shitty 212 cab.
