Alex Turner used this vintage Dynacord Rex during Arctic Monkey’s Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino tour, replacing his Fender Twin Reverb to amplify his Wurlitizer 200A around halfway though the TBHC tour, some point near the Sheffield/Manchester shows. The Dynacord can be seen behind bassist Nick O’Malley next to Alex’s Gretsch amplifier and his Rolland Space Echo.

This Dynacord Rex amp was built in Germany. The Rex amp, produced between 1963 and 1968, was at that time the most luxurious combo that Dynacord produced. It’s a 35-40W RMS combo with a dual EL-34 power stage and a rather unusual speaker configuration consisting of a duet of a 10” and an 8” Isophon speaker.

This amp has a powerful clean sound with ample headroom, especially when played in the Phono setting that offers more gain, mids and low end. The tremolo effect sounds great and has a quite strong amplitude and cut. Because of an unusual design in the preamp the onset of overdrive at high volume is all but subtle. As soon as there’s no headroom left a sound similar to a ‘60s fuzz appears while the total volume drops slightly. This oddity can be overcome by using a pedal for drive tones. The Rex would serve great as an effect pedal platform.
