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.

Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
  • ⚠️No explicit numeric amp settings for clean tone found; values estimated based on typical Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 clean settings and genre/era.
  • ⚠️Pedal order inferred from live pedalboard photos and typical AM-era rig; exact knob settings for pedals not found.
  • ⚠️Magnatone 410 sometimes blended in live, but Selmer Zodiac is main amp for clean rhythm.
  • ⚠️Jazzmaster confirmed for 'Knee Socks' live, but pickup selector position inferred from tone and typical usage.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Alex Turner's live 'Knee Socks' riff tone is a mid-forward, crunchy British rock sound with moderate gain, tight low end, and clear but not harsh highs. Typical of his Vox/Marshall setups, the amp is set for punchy mids and subtle reverb for space, matching the genre and era's production style.
