Tom Rowley has been using the Rickenbacker 330 Electric Guitar for quite some time and continues to play it during the release of the third album, as noted in a tweet by simmo0916.

Tom Rowley has a Boss TU-2 on his pedalboard during the Arctic Monkeys tour for the bands 5th album, “AM.” Rowley was not a part of the recording process of this album, like he was for Arctic Monkeys 6th album, so these pedals are likely his choice to replicate the third guitar that Alex Turner and Jamie Cook recorded during the recording of the album.

The Boss TU-2 is an essential pedal for any player, regardless of what type of music you are playing. Pictured is Tom’s set up during the “AM” tour. His set up includes various pedals run though Alex’s Fender Twin Reverb for his guitar tones and Jamie’s Rolland JC-120 for the keyboard and synthesizer.

Tom Rowley plays a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 on his pedalboard during the Arctic Monkeys tour for the bands 5th album, “AM.” Rowley was not a part of the recording sessions of this album, like he was for Arctic Monkeys 6th album, so his pedalboard try’s to replicate the third guitar that Alex Turner and Jamie Cook tracked during the recording of the album.

Housed in a powder coated Blue 16ga. steel enclosure, the dual-channel Full-Drive 2 Mosfet has two channels. The first channel is the Overdrive Mode, capable of clean boost or non-compressed overdrive or choose light to medium softer overdrives all while retaining which ever guitar he plays original tone. The Tone knob is a very effective presence control that can smooth out or add upper harmonics. The second channel is the "Boost Mode" with its own separate distortion control for medium to higher gains.

Tom Rowley uses Alex Turner’s Fender Silverface Twin Reverb during Arctic Monkeys 5th tour of their “AM” album. Tom uses this amp for guitar when he plays the third guitar on songs such “One for the Road” and “Crying Lightning.” He also plays Alex’s Gretsch Baritone Guitar for songs such as “Arabella” and “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High” though this amp.

Pictured in the bottom left of this picture from a live show during 2013, the amp can be seen behind the keyboard and synthesizer where Tom plays.

Tom Rowley has been seen using a Black Fender Mustang, specifically a Vintage 1964 Pre-CBS Offset model, during performances of songs from 'The Car.'

This user-uploaded photo captures Tom Rowley’s pedalboard during Arctic Monkeys' tour for their sixth album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (2018-2019). Notably, it includes the Wattson Super Fuzz FY-6, which was originally used by lead singer Alex Turner for both studio recordings and live performances. Turner prominently featured this pedal with his other band, The Last Shadow Puppets, on their album Everything You’ve Come To Expect.
