Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No official amp knob settings for 'R U Mine?' solo found; settings estimated based on AM-era Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 usage, genre, and multiple forum recommendations.
  • ⚠️Pedal order inferred from typical AM-era pedalboards and audible effects in the solo.
  • ⚠️Exact pickup selector not explicitly confirmed, but bridge pickup is standard for this solo's tone and matches live performance footage.
  • ⚠️Delay, fuzz/overdrive, and boost pedals confirmed by multiple sources and are clearly audible in the solo.
  • ⚠️Presence and reverb settings estimated based on amp type and era.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone on 'R U Mine?' is a saturated, mid-forward British crunch typical of Alex Turner's use of Vox/Orange amps, with enough gain for sustain but not into modern metal territory. The mids are pushed for cut, bass is tight but not boomy, treble and presence are balanced for clarity without harshness, and reverb is minimal as most ambience is from production, not amp.
