Amp
Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 (main), sometimes blended with Magnatone Custom 410 (AM era live rig)
Pickup Position
Neck pickup (Jazzmaster, for warm clean tone)
Live performance, AM era (2013+), clean riff section. Alex Turner is seen using the Jazzmaster for 'Knee Socks' live, with the Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 as his main amp, sometimes blended with the Magnatone 410. Pedalboard includes modulation effects. Settings estimated due to lack of explicit numbers for clean tone; all gear confirmed for live AM era.
