      All you need to sweep cleanly is a decent lead tone with not too much gain, a noise gate (which doesnt affect the sound when you're actually playing a note), and a good technique.
      He's also using the neck pickup for the solo. You don't need to heavily chop anything. (Also please do not turn the volume knob on your guitar to max.)
