I saw Pat Metheny play here in Melbourne in 1985 with his band which
included Lyle Mays on keys. Pat played some Synclavier Guitar -- his
"signiature tone" and a very convincing soprano sax patch amongst other
sounds. At the time I read an interview with him where he said he didn't
like chorus -- it just sounded out of tune to him. To me, his guitar sound
seemed to have some sort of doubling/ADT and -- of course -- reverb.  Pat
was an impressive player but what I remember most about that night was the
incredible stack of keyboards Lyle Mays had and the warm Oberheim horn
sounds he used.
