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.

When recording their album Suck It and See Jamie Cook used this pedal as stated in this article : "A new sonic development for Arctic Monkeys on Suck It And See are the saturated Electro?Harmonix Big Muff?styled lead breaks that feature throughout — played mostly by Turner, but also by Jamie Cook. "It isn't a Big Muff actually,” Ford points out. "But we were trying to get that Les Paul neck-pickup sound. They've got quite a few of those weird, boutiquey fuzz pedals that give you that warm, creamy fuzz, so we used that for the solos mainly. There was one called the [Coopersonic] Valve Slapper that we used quite a lot.”

It's the orange pedal in the top corner of his board, around 2:53. If you watch their KROQ performance you can see it there too. Makes sense that Jamie would have one since Alex uses a Maxon PT-999 Phase Tone, which is very similar.

In an image of Jamie Cook's pedalboard from the Favourite Worst Nightmare tour, the M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal is visible between the EHX Memory Man and the Boss tuner. This pedal is used to control parameters on his EHX HOG, which is likely located underneath the raised section of the board. Notable instances of the expression pedal's use with the HOG include the songs "What If You Were Right The First Time?" at 1:32 and "Matador" at 3:34. Additionally, in live versions of "D is for Dangerous," Jamie utilises it to manipulate his guitar's feedback before Alex sings "He's nearing the brink..." Jamie Cook appears to use the expression pedal exclusively with the HOG's octave bend setting for noise-making purposes.

The image of Jamie Cook's pedalboard from the Favourite Worst Nightmare tour shows an EHX HOG Foot Controller and an M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal, which are used to control the Electro-Harmonix HOG Harmonic Octave Generator. Although the HOG unit itself is not visible, its presence is implied by these controllers, suggesting it is likely placed under the raised section of the pedalboard. The distinctive sound of the HOG can be heard on several tracks from the Favourite Worst Nightmare album and its b-sides, notably in the song "What If You Were Right The First Time?" at 1:32, where Jamie Cook utilises the expression pedal to bend the notes and add a high octave effect during the breakdown. It is used more subtly on other songs, such as 'Do Me a Favour' and 'This House is a Circus'.
