Studio recording, 2005-2006. Jamie Cook played the main riff on a Fender Jazzmaster through an Orange AD30TC for the album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'. No evidence of other guitars or amps for the riff section in the studio. No pedalboard photos from the session, but MXR Micro Amp is likely for boost based on era and sources.
