OK, i've seen morello do this tons of times. you need two and only these two things for 
solo:

1. crybaby/ wha pedal

2. toggle switch/ dual volume control setup (as seen on an LP)

I'll get to that later

Intro/chorus (for chorus slide up to headstock from low E then play)
Into: use tremolo pedal and distortion
chorus: just distortion                        then
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

bridge: this is the chorus just played with a phasing effect on it

Solo
Ok, how it works is, you are tapping the notes, while flicking the toggle
switch  just after tapping the note and pressing down on the wha pedal all
at once. it sounds hard but it's actually really simple. remember tapp the
riff wiht your index and ring finger (and for the 17 in the second half
your pinky)

                              +     +  +   +  +  +
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------14-------------------------|
------------------------------16---14-16---14-16------x3--------------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then you flick the toggle switch like a madman whil holding down the 16 and
slowly pressing down on the wha pedal

then,
                            +    +  +   +   keep down until you restart
