'Well, I got an ARP Odyssey for the first album back in '77, and I just stumbled on the lead sound by sticking it through a flanger. I used it a lot in the early days, and carried on using it on later records because it went so well with that particular rhythm guitar sound Midge gets. - EMM Oct. 1984
