Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️Amp settings (gain, bass, mid, treble) are taken from a forum post referencing the studio tone for the riff, not an official source.
  • ⚠️Fuzz pedal is described as 'at its highest setting probably 3/4 sustain' but no specific model is confirmed for the studio recording.
  • ⚠️Delay and tremolo are mentioned as subtle and optional; exact pedal models and settings are not confirmed.
  • ⚠️Presence and reverb are estimated based on typical Fender Twin usage and forum description of 'crunchy reverb heavy sound'.
  • ⚠️Pickup position inferred from typical Duo Jet bridge pickup use for riff clarity and attack.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Alex Turner typically uses a crunchy, mid-forward British rock tone with moderate gain and tight low end, as heard in the riff of 'R U Mine?'. The tone is punchy and present, with minimal reverb, matching the production style and gear (Orange/Marshall amps) used on the AM album.
