Original Recording
Studio recording, 2005-2006. Jack White's main guitar for The Raconteurs at this time was a custom Gretsch Triple Jet with Filter'Tron pickups and an onboard MXR Micro Amp. Amp is inferred from era and typical studio use; some sources mention Marshall amps live, but Fender Twin is most likely for the studio recording. Effects chain includes fuzz/distortion pedals. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and amp type due to lack of explicit numeric values.
