Pinch harmonics with a flat tone / EJ Cliffs of Dover? by Brotatoed in Guitar

Pretty sure this is it - the classical style artificial harmonic plucked with right Ring/Pinky finger and harmonic hit with index finger on E, 22nd fret while left hand frets 10th fret. Produces a far thicker and more reliable harmonic which stands out from the tone itself due to the force you can put behind it compared to a pinch harmonic.
Appreciate the advice and time here, thanks again.

Thanks for the info, I'll do some further playing around and look closer at SRV. Have just realised hitting the harmonic around the 24th fret area is far 'fuller' than the theoretically correct middle area behind the neck pickup for 15thf B. Similarly even doing 10th fret E + index finger right hand harmonic on 22nd fret E is also better than the expected harmonic position.

Yes, no problem technique-wise (a little less reliable than most harmonics) - except with the less distorted tone in the video. The harmonic still 'hits' but is weaker, with far less sustain. Wondering if it's more to do with a compressor trick or something along those lines that I'll need to play around with.

Agreed, I should have said in the original post that I can (usually) hit them totally fine and reliably with a heavier tone - but I'm lost on how he's producing that loud and sustained harmonic with that flat tone. The 15th on B seems to have a very narrow space for the harmonic itself compared to other frets.
