I love the harmonic overtones on this distortion in this little clip.
How do they make it? Is it just a purely analog response recorded during a live scenario? Or could it be re-created - like if you had a bit of distortion, how could you produce that level of harmonic overtones? I've tried with saturators and it seemed to produce a "safe" amount of harmonic but nothing like this. This almost sounds like blown out speaker or something.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Sounds like self oscillating resonance before the saturation? Or like feedback inside a delay, similar to Valhalla delay, in a way the automated the feedback amount making it high for a short time. The saturation itself doesn't sound very harmonic to me at all, but maybe I am also mixing up terms.
