What is this technique/effect?

Track: Shut Up      Band: Savages      Ref point: 0:57 (album version)

Hi, I'm not sure whether this is a technique or whether its a filter or an effect triggered by a pedal (yes, I'm pretty clueless). It sounds like muted strings but I can't get anywhere near this sound if I try to mute/dampen the strings.

I've heard this sound a number of times but bit is most apparent on the track 'Shut Up' by Savages. It comes in at 0:57. It's available to listen to on Spotify.

If anyone has time to listen and give me some advice, I would be exceptionally grateful. Many thanks,

just sounds like double tracked muted strings to me.
maybe something like a (stereo if possible) chorus on a lightish setting

Yep just sounds like palm muting to me. 

Try and keep your touch fairly light with the muting and keep the tone bright without too much gain. 

Move your hand position to vary the tone of the muting.

That's great. Thanks for the advice. I'll give that a go!

Thanks- will check that out.

The ADT thing is a good tip as well try putting a really short delay on (like so short you can barely hear it), one repeat and a moderate amount of level.
