anybody know if there is a rig out there with a fairly accurate ray gun effect as used by Steve Stevens' guitar solo in Billy Idol's Rebel Yell?

FWIW - when we play the song, I hit a harmonic note of an open string, and widely wiggle the trem bar to get a similar kind of sound.

I don't know if it'll work for this but I did upload a profile titled "Lasers!" back in the day. Best results come with pick scrapes iirc.

Steve Stevens describes the effect from the original recording as a short delay with the modulation turned up all the way,
He later used toy ray guns, and even had at least one built into a guitar,
