Alex Turner can be seen with his Mu-tron Micro V envelope filter/auto wah during Arctic Monkeys live performance at Studio Brussels in October 2022. Pictured, you can see the pedal on his pedalboard above his Coopersonic Valveslapper. This pedal can be heard live while Alex is playing tracks off the bands 7th LP, The Car, such as “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I am” and “Jet Skis On The Moat.” While not the original auto wah pedal Alex used during the tour/recording, which was the Guyatone PS-104 Crossbox, Turner switched to this pedal around the time of this live performance due to unknown reasons.

The Mu-Tron Micro V is a “advanced envelope-controlled filter device designed specifically for the musician who wants the touch-controlled wah effect” with a solid state circuit and filter range switch. The Micro V also contains a continuously-variable filter-range/sensitivity control. This pedal is more modern and offers more flexibility than the previous envelope filter pedal that Alex used, which may be why he switched, again, the reason is unknown. Though both pedals feature amazing tones and work perfectly with these new sounds Alex is using on tour/recording sessions.

I first got my Mu-Tron Micro V just to try out and I kept it,” he recalls. “I still use that for the vocal sound it gives me, I like that because it sharpens the melodic connections. Same thing when I use the talkbox. The Mu-Tron is an extension of that.” Despite the Garcia associations, his love of the Mu-Tron didn’t come from Jerry, though he does describe himself as a bit of an acolyte. “Yeah for sure,” he explains. “But not at the time I got the Mu-Tron, which was a long time ago. Since then I really discovered him and the Dead, and have done stuff with GD members. But Jerry was a luminary to me.”
