Yeah, allright.
But Nobody Else, OK?

But I cheat when playing Message in a Bottle; use flange instead. :D

To be fair I think Andy Summers used both flange and chorus, hard to tell which was which as he never used the airplane whoosh flanger sound. EHX Electric Mistress and Boss CE-1 chorus back in the old days, in the modern era I believe he's using a Red Witch Chorus as well as a G2D overdrive and 10 million rack units.

And tremolo is a great way to hide an in-tune guitar.

The flint is still pretty hard to beat as a trem, despite not being ‘budget’. The Seymour Duncan trem is a great sounding pedal too.

Flint sounds pretty crazy in stereo, too.

Yeah, for years I thought he used chorus but turns out it was the Electric Mistress.

No fiscally prudent person would ever buy one new. Just sayin'.
I also have a Mr.Black Deluxe plus which is reverb and Trem if that floats your boat?
