Alex, if you take a really good look at this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNBJSei0XV0 you will see clearly that these guys do not use any effects pedals. All of there sound is clean, it’s very high treble (that gives it a thin sound) and whatever amp they are using, if it has any built in effects is what they are using. Sounds to me like a pretty thin very tin like clean sound with little gain applied to it. In my opinion that song would sound a whole lot better if they did use some kind of effects. You should be able to improve on it with that Digitech pedal.

Interpol has a pretty unique sound and I haven’t heard any bands that really sound exactly like them, but you could try the Strokes, the Killers, or Bloc Party. (If you’re looking to go a little more old school, defnitely listen to Joy Division.)
