Stratocaster and ARP Avatar / Roland GS-500 guitar synthesizers “I use the Strat to control the Avatar, and the Roland has its own guitar. I find the two synthesizers behave differently: the Avatar’s hexaphonic fuzz sounds great, but the Roland is polyphonic, so I can play chords on it. I used synthesizers extensively on my solo album [Smallcreep’s Day], and I also played it a lot on And Then There Were Three. (Guitar Player, Jan 1981)
