Alex Turner

Alex Turner is seen using the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble Pedal in his pedalboard during the Humbug tour. This Boss pedal has been used since their 2009 - 2010 Humbug tour, no evidence of it being used after this era.

Alex Turner played a Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster, specifically an Olympic White model, during the "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" era, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo.

Alex Turner uses the Orange Amplifiers AD30HTC 30W Tube Guitar Amplifier Head as part of his music equipment setup during an Arctic Monkeys show in 2005.

The Electro-Harmonix POG can be seen in this photos of Alex Turner's pedalboard. In this particular photo, here are the settings on his POG:

• DRY OUTPUT is nearly all the way up
• SUB OCTAVE is about 20% up
• +1 OCTAVE is about 30% up
• +1 OCTAVE DETUNED, +2 OCTAVE, and +2 OCTAVE DETUNED are all the way down
• LOW PASS FILTER is nearly all the way up

Maxon PT-999 Phase Tone is one of the newest editions to Alex Turner’s Pedal board during AM. Seen all the way on the left side of his board.

Clearly seen on the board (the rectangular red pedal). Both of these look different but they are the same pedal, same brand, same labels for the knobs.

During the Arctic Monkeys' "Humbug" era, Alex Turner incorporated the Boss DSD-3 Digital Sampler/Delay into his pedalboard, placed alongside his Wattson Super Fuzz FY-6. Although not essential for the tour, Turner was experimenting with various pedals during this period, notably with Josh Homme. The DSD-3 is essentially the same as the DSD-2, but it was released at a lower price due to a decrease in semiconductor costs, prompting Boss to market it as a new model. This setup is documented in a user-uploaded photo.

Alex Turner can be seen using a Musicmaster in the Arabella music video at 3:32. The pickup has been moved closer to the bridge, likely to resemble his stolen Fender Bronco.

Alex was seen playing the guitar live when opening for The Black Keys at Madison Square Garden on March 22, 2012. A recording of the performance is available here. Photos from the performance, including of Alex with the Musicmaster, can be found here

The guitar has been most likely gifted to Alexandra Savior, as the two worked together, and she can be seen playing it in her latest live performances, i.e. here.

Alex Turner uses the Boss DM-1 Delay Machine in his pedalboard for live and recording sessions with Arctic Monkeys. The Pedal can first be seen around the recording and tour of the bands 3rd album, “Humbug,” after it was seen on both their 4th and 5th album tours but was dropped during the “Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino” in favor of an original Rolland Space Echo.

Pictured is Alex during a live show during the bands 5th tour in 2014. The Boss can be seen above his Fulltone Deja Vibe and next to his Coopersonic Valveslapper.

Alex Turner uses a Wattson Super Fuzz FY-6 on his board during The Last Shadow Puppet’s second tour of their Everything You’ve Come To Expect album. Turner has also used this pedal during the recording of Arctic Monkey’s Humbug recording sessions at Rancho De La Luna. Pictured the Wattson Super Fuzz can be seen on Turners board next to his Boss Tuners.

Capturing the precise tone of the original classic fuzz pedals from shin-ei and univox, the Wattson Super Fuzz fy-6 is housed in a 16 gauge steel chassis. Turner used this pedal on songs such as “Aviation” to get a vintage sounding Fuzz tone.

Turner can be seen playing a Gretsch Spectra Sonic Baritone in this photo. Alex Turner has used a Gretsch Spectra Sonic Baritone electric guitar during various performances with both Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets. His first appearance with this model was during the Favourite Worst Nightmare era, when he used it to play the song "If You Were There, Beware". The guitar continued to be featured in the Suck It and See era, adding depth to the band's evolving sound.

Notably, Turner used the Spectra Sonic Baritone for "One Point Perspective" during the Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino tour. At that point, he began using a white version of the guitar — previously, he had used a black one. Its lower tuning and rich tone perfectly matched the atmospheric nature of the track.

With The Last Shadow Puppets, Turner used the Gretsch Spectra Sonic Baritone for "Pattern" and "Miracle Aligner," enhancing the songs' dramatic feel. In these performances, the guitar provided a deep, resonant foundation that complemented the band’s orchestral arrangements.

The Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ Power Supply is located in the top middle of Turner’s Pedalboard in this photo from Arctic Monkeys performance at the 69 Club in 2013

Turner can be seen playing an Epiphone Wiltshire in a photo in this NME article. Photo is captioned, "Alex Turner performs with The Rascals, Astoria, London, February 7, 2008. Pic: Andy Willsher"

Turner can be seen in this image playing a Wurlitzer 200.

Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner is seen using the Boss LS-2 Line Selector/Power Supply in his pedalboard setup. The Line Selector can be seen under Turner’s TS808 and next to the Morley ABY.

In this Sound On Sound article, there is this photo of Turner playing a Fender Rhodes Stage 73 electric piano.

Alex Turner can be seen playing his Gibson J-200 Standard Acoustic-Electric during this acoustic performance of “Do I Wanna Know” off of their 5th studio LP AM in mid 2014. The guitar has been seen with Arctic Monkeys since acoustic sessions off of their second album.

Jamie Cook, the rhythm guitarist from Arctic Monkeys, has the exact same guitar as him and Alex played them guitar during an acoustic session in 2007. Alex seems to favor Gibson acoustic guitars, as he is almost seen exclusively playing them with a few exceptions.

In this picture from Glastonbury 2008, you can see Alex playing this Telecaster during The Last Shadow Puppets performance

Alex Turner used the Morley Classic Wah is his pedalboard during The Last Shadow Puppet’s Everything You’ve Come To Expect tour. Pictured here on Turner’s pedalboard, this pedal is not the other Morley Wah he used during Arctic Monkey’s Humbug tour, which was the Morley Pro Series II.

Described as “ Designed to emulate the timeless Morley tone of '70s and '80s wahs, this Classic model sports an electro-optical foundation with a diehard steel chassis” Turner uses this pedal on Everything You’ve Come To Expect on songs such as “Pattern” to get that vintage 70’s sounding Wah sound.

Rock guitarist Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys uses the Sennheiser e906 Dynamic Guitar Amp Microphone, which is hooked up to his Fender Vintage Reissue '65 Twin Reverb Guitar Amp.

Turner can be seen in this image with a Baldwin Discoverer in his keyboard setup.

In this video, Alex is using the 1968 Fender Villager. The band is playing a new version of their Suck it and See album track, The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala (2011). It's the first time I've seen him use it, but I've heard this version of the song many times, so I guess it's the instrument he's been using all the way.

Alex Turner uses a Gretsch G6122-12 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman 12-String Hollowbody as a backup guitar for performances of "Do I Wanna Know?" when not playing his Vox 12-String, as shown in a user-uploaded photo.

At minute 0:16 you can see Alex Turner playing a Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar.

In the official video for "Bad Habits" by The Last Shadow Puppets, Alex Turner is seen playing an ESP E-II ST 2 guitar. However, in an interview, he mentioned that he does not own the guitar; it was used during a spontaneous performance at a bar, utilizing the house band's instruments.

Appears at 0:09 in the video.

I'm not sure if it's a 1964 one but that's around the era of that kind of pick guard. Also back then they just called natural finish J-45's J-50's. They're essentially the same guitar but the J-45 is sunburst.

Alex Turner used a vintage Jennings Electronic Industries J40 1968-1973 around the time of their second album for recording and touring. The amp can be seen in pictures of the tour and recording of Favourite Worst Nightmare, and had not been seen until Arctic Monkeys released the video "Warp Speed Chic,” which is a video about the recording of Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino. This could allow the assumption that this amp was also used on the recording of this album.

In common with the Jennings J100 (and the Vox solid state line), the J40 had a three position mid-range boost switch, position "0" being off, the other three (1-3) switching in an inductor and capacitor network to provide different resonances. Speakers are Celestion alnico's, T1096s, wired in parallel for a total impedance of 15ohms.

Alex Turner can be seen using a Fender Vibrato & Reverb Footswitch during The Last Shadow Puppet’s “Everything You’ve Come To Expect” tour, hooked up to his Fender Twin Reverb. During this tour Alex used two amps, one being his mentioned Fender and an Acoustic 160 stack. Both amps ran into a Morley ABY foot-switch on his pedalboard so he could run both amps at the same time or separately. This Vibrato & Reverb Footswitch ran separately from the rest of his pedalboard, running from the back of the Fender’s designated reverb/vibrato switch rather than in chain with the rest of the pedalboard. The Fender Vibrato & Reverb Footswitch can be seen pictured next to Turner’s MXR Micro Amp.

Alex Turner can be seen playing a Yamaha SA-70 bass in this photo.

This bass belongs to Josh Homme and was used during the recording sessions for Humbug.

Alex Turner plays a Magnatone Custom 410 starting during the “Suck It and See” recording sessions onwards. Turner uses the 410 in combination with his Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 for the tour of that album as well as the recording and tour of Arctic Monkeys 5th studio album, “AM.”

In an interview with James Ford with Sound on Sound, long time Arctic Monkeys producer and bandmate of Alex's in The Last Shaddow Puppets, Ford explains how Turner used his Magnatone in junction with his Selmer Zodiac Twin 30. The Magnatone was used for Alex to get more vibrato and reverb tones. He would also get reverb out of his Selmer amplifier, considering Turner doesn’t use a reverb pedal after the “Humbug” era. The Tremolo on this amp to get the famous tone of “Do I Wanna Know?” along with the reverb from his Selmer, delay from his Boss DM-1 Delay Machine and overdrive from his Coopersonic Valveslapper used with his Vox Starstream XII 12 String.

Ford states “Alex Turner's rig typically featured him playing his faithful Fender Bronco or occasionally a Gibson Les Paul through his crocodile‑skin Selmer Zodiac and '60s Magnatone amps. "Al does more rhythmy stuff, and for that it was just pretty straight, quite bright and punchy into the Selmer. We sometimes ran that and his old Magnatone at the same time. It has a really nice vibrato on it and reverb. So sometimes we'd mix those two signals together, but just onto the one track.” This explains how Alex got his tones for “Suck It and See” and “AM.”

Pictured is Turner’s Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 on the left and his Magnatone Custom 410 on the right. Here they are both are miked with Shure SM7s.

During the bands “Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino” tour, the Magnatone is used to amp the Synthesizer the band uses, located behind Jamie Cooks setup. While Alex doesn’t use this amp for guitar anymore, about midway though their 6th tour he switched his mentioned Selmer for another Magnatone, the 280.
