Can someone please help about 808 distortion?


Hi, can someone with more experience in 808 let me know how this dude is making that hard distorted 808? I know its a square wave, tried to recreate it with simple 808 and distortion, but the is no so much power behind it. Would like to know what he uses to make the 808 sound like this.

 
Have you tried compression/limiting? Parallel compression (another track or buss of the 808, crushed with compression and mixed back in with the original)? Tube saturation? Distortion effect? Maximized/normalized the file first?
