Nick O'Malley

In the music video for Arctic Monkey's There’d Better Be A Mirrorball, at approximately 1:16, Nick O'Malley can be seen playing a Höfner 500/1 Bass guitar.

In a YouTube video by Mixing Mastering Online titled "Selmer Treble n Bass 50- The other 60's Classic Amp -Tame Impala, Pink Floyd, Arctic Monkeys," Nick O'Malley is observed at the 2:26 mark using a Selmer TruVoice Treble-N-Bass Fifty MK1. The video notes that the MKI and MKII versions of this amplifier are internally identical, with the MKI distinguished by its crocodile skin exterior.

A photograph taken on June 19, 2025, during a Tom Rowley gig in Sheffield provides clear evidence that Nick O'Malley uses the Big Tone Music Brewery Maggie SV280 Stereo Vibrato pedal. The image distinctly shows the Maggie pedal on his pedal board, positioned next to his Sky Chord Truck Loud pedal. Source Image

In a picture I have taken at the Tom Rowley gig in Sheffield on June 25, 2019, it can be clearly seen that Nick O'Malley uses the Mosky Spring Reverb pedal.

In the YouTube video titled "Arctic Monkeys - Balaclava + Fake Tales Of San Francisco (Live Rock Am Ring 2007)" uploaded by Luis Reyes, at exactly 13 seconds, an aerial shot clearly shows Nick O'Malley using the Crowther Audio Prunes & Custard Harmonic Generator Intermodulator on his pedalboard. Additionally, the distinct sound of this pedal can be heard during the bass solo of "Brianstorm" from the Razzmatazz set in 2007, further confirming its use.

In the video "Arctic Monkeys - Balaclava + Fake Tales Of San Francisco (Live Rock Am Ring 2007)" on YouTube, it is visible that Nick O'Malley uses the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi during the band's 2007 tour performances. This can be seen 13 seconds in.
