Fudge Tunnel's official Facebook page shows an image of Alex's Marshall JMP. Someone emailed Alex about Fudge Tunnel's gear back in 2014, he replied the following:
The TL/DR; Gibson with humbuckers (use bridge pickup, roll the tone all the way off) -> Boss "booster" (any boost pedal will do, like MXR Micro Amp) -> Marshall JMP 100W master volume (must be this amp, according to Alex, "JCM 800, 900, 2000, Plexi, none of them will work.") On the amp, turn everything all the way up, except the mids. Turn the mids all the way off.
Fudge Tunnel's official Facebook page shows Alex with his Fender Telecaster.
"On some FT there's a very trebly, nasty guitar sound, which was a Boss Metal Zone with all the knobs turned up full so it's just a wall of noise."

"Newport says this incredible flexibility allows him to warp individual sounds in parallel without thinking about the board’s limits. He mixes these individual tracks down to 1/2″ tape through a single SSL G384 stereo bus compressor."
“The mic that I preferred most often on the acoustic was the Beyerdynamic M160."
In this image Newport can be seen working on the MCI JH24 tape machine.
"the main vocal was the Shure SM7- another mic that’s not terrifically expensive. It’s very directional and will take EQ really well."
