Notes & Caveats
- No direct source lists exact amp knob settings for the solo; values estimated based on typical Orange AD30TC usage for 2000s UK garage rock.
- No evidence of pedals or effects used in the solo section; MXR Micro Amp is on Turner's board but not confirmed for this part.
- No evidence of delay, reverb, or modulation in the solo; solo is dry and direct.
- Guitar model and amp are confirmed for the album, but pickup selector is inferred from typical solo tone and live footage.
- Settings are not from an official rig rundown but inferred from genre, amp, and era.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Alex Turner's solo tone is classic British crunch—likely a JCM800 or similar, with mids pushed for punch, moderate gain for clarity and aggression, and minimal reverb as per the dry, raw production style of early Arctic Monkeys. The treble and presence are set to cut through the mix without harshness.
