They sound a lot cleaner and less distorted at that later part of their career. I think the Fryette's changed their tone quite a bit. It took me a lot of listens to get used to their distorted tone on wavering.

Celestial and Oceanic are two very dense records...I think as long as you have an amp with huge clean headroom and a healthy low end capability, most fuzzy drive pedals should take you there. I have rocked some Isis riffs with an Algal Bloom set to kill through my V4 with my drop B stratocaster and gotten pretty close to that sound. A RAT style pedal could do the trick too. I can't speak for the elements personally but I have a feeling that pedal would excel at such things too.
Make sure you're at least rocking a neck humbucker, if not a bridge humbucker too. I know Aaron started using teles with singles in the bridge at some point, but that early Isis sound was all les Paul and prs guitar tones.
Yeah I got plenty of head room and low end capabilities!
I'm getting some ideas, might even consider stacking The Elements with an OD pedal?!?!
