A big part of the studio version of this song is the muted flanger strumming going on in the background. For this I've found good results setting my flanger pedal with a fairly low rate/manual/depth and very high feedback. I have a feeling they were tweaking the flanger settings on the fly in the studio - John McGeoch was known for having his flanger pedal tied to a mic stand so he could tweak the knobs mid-song. For the main riff you're basically bending the double-stop up half a step, keeping it there for 5 strums then releasing back. You could also do it with a slide but I think it sounds more like a bend on the recording.
