Probably the best person to answer your question is forrok_star, but I think that there are several effects in there. There is certainly reverb/echo, some form of distortion and I think a compressor.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

thanks for your answer . So I need many different effects to make it sounds like this ? I thought it's only 1 effect ::)

Definitely reverb and compression. Seems like a very weak delay, which get kicked up at the very end.

You could use a multi effects unit

I found a DigiTech multi effects unit for $59.99 . What you guys think of this ? Is it a good unit ?

The best tone is from saturated power tubes directly driving a guitar speaker hard, with no load or attenuator getting in the way. The only really satisfactory way to get actual cranked tube amp and speaker tone with almost no room noise is to use a speaker isolation cabinet. Try using slight preamp tube clipping with heavy power tube saturation using soft-breakup of the power tubes.
Controlling the world of amp tone is there for all, Strive to bring out the physical, real, tangible tone of saturating power tubes and hard-driven speakers. if you simply break the normal and add certain components. You can almost certainly get satisfactory sound from at least experimenting with, the following guitar signal chain eq pedal, Comp/misc.pedals, amp's preamp, amp's EQ chain, amp's tube power amp, amp's guitar speakers. In some situations a good power attenuator.
From the console add other effects such as a exciter, compressor/limiter, not to forget the Time based effects Echo, reverb, etc. This is where I would start at imitating that sound. The other percentage of the sound is from the guitar player themselves. Learning to make a Guitar Talk is something many guitar players need to work on.

Well, it's as cheap as they come. It will most certainly not be good enough until the end of your life, but for 59,- you can hardly go wrong. Even if you like just one effect it would be worth the price. Heck, even if all the effects and amp sims would suck the drum machine and tuner would still be worth it 8)
Not top-class, but pretty unbeatable for it;s price.
