When recording the Arctic Monkeys 2011 album this article states : "Cook's guitar setup revolves around a '60s Simms Watts rig and custom?built Rosewell Bluesman, though for the Sound City sessions, he also borrowed engineer James Brown's Audio Kitchen Big Chopper amp. For more ambient sounds, he'd plug into various toys, including a WEM Copicat or Roland Space Echo, Electro?Harmonix Holiest Grail reverb pedal and Fulltone Deja Vibe stereo phase/chorus.
From 3:57-4:04 when Troy is showing his wet rig you can see the Electro-Harmonix logo as well as the colored sliders that are found on the Holiest Grail as well as the design of the pedal matching.
