Johnny Marr is one of the best and most innovative guitarists ever, too bad they broke up. Its a unique sound but not hard to reproduce, its all effect based. Its particularly heavy on the tremolo, some compression, chorus and reverb.
You can do the main verses with just tremolo, the reverb would not give you the choppy vibrato effect needed. Then a tape delay for the whaaa-haaaa guitar part.
nice, I always liked the sonic soundscape of this song (guitar player minded here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OztC_7nkAd8

that's pretty cool, I never knew what it required to get anywhere near that sound, thanks!
just sounds like reverb to me
