Alex Turner used a Hiwatt Studio/Stage 2x12 Combo during performances at different points thought Arctic Monkeys career. The amp, which Jamie Cook has the exact same model of, can be seen at different points though out their second tour, Favourite Worst Nightmare. While only being seen at that tour, it has been mentioned in an interview with Jim Abbiss during the recording of their first album, “Given the channel limitations, in terms of effects, Abbiss and Barny were working with only an Echoplex tape delay and mono plate reverb. “‘The other effects were all from ambient miking and the amazing spring reverb built into Alex’s Hiwatt amp. So that was it. And we were riding it live. It was really good fun. You basically just did a few performances and chose the one you thought was best.’” While not specifically mentioning the type of Hiwatt used, there is the assumption that he is referring to this model as Alex has been seen playing it.

Turner had not been seen using this amp again until Arctic Monkeys live performance at Maida Vale in 2018. The amp was likely hooked up to one of the pianos or keyboards used. In this picture we can see the Hiwatt Studio/Stage 2x12 Combo and a Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 next to each other amplifying keyboard and pianos. The Selmer is the same model Turner used for his Guitar set up and can be seen in this picture next to his Vox Starstream.

Jamie Cook uses a Hiwatt Studio/Stage 2x12 combo as his main amplifier for recording and live shows for almost every tour Arctic Monkeys has done. Cook can first be seen using this amplifier as early as the bands first tour and as late as their last tour when Jamie used this Hiwatt and an AC30 for his live setup. Alex Turner, the lead singer/guitarist of the band has the same model as Cook, he can be seen using it occasionally during their first and second tours. Alex’s Hiwatt can also be seen during their live performance at Maida Vale in 2018.

The Hiwatt Studio/Stage 2x12 Combo uses a specially wound output transformer. The Hiwatt Studio Stage Combo can switch from 20 watts to 40 watts of power, while retaining its pure Class A tone. Features include High and Low sensitivity inputs, Gain with switchable boost, Bass, mid, Treble, full size Accutronic spring reverb and master volume control. Equipped with 2 Fane 12" speakers all assembled in an 18 marine ply cabinet.

Boasting the classic design that brought Hiwatt to the forefront of amplification, the Classic Series tube amps feature the point-to-point, military specific design based on Dave Reeves' original amplifiers. Hiwatt Custom amplifiers use only the best quality components, including hand-wound Partridge transformers and marine birch hand-built cabinets.

Pictured, the Hiwatt amp can be seen behind Jamie during the first tour of Arctic Monkeys first album, “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.”

At 33:40 in the YouTube video titled "LSD and the Search for God | Live | Le Poisson Rouge NYC | May 31, 2023," you can clearly see the Hiwatt Studio/Stage 2x12 Combo amplifier positioned behind Andy Liszt, above the Roland Jazz Chorus 120.

"No. Unfortunately I wish I had some of the gear that I ended up using on the Cold Chisel Light The Nitro tour, which was all Hiwatt amplifiers. But for the No Plans album it was a mixture of a Hiwatt Studio Stage 30 watt amp and an old Marshall 1974 Super Lead."
