I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor amp settings — Line 6 Spider 2
The Arctic Monkeys guitar tone for “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor”, dialed in for a Line 6 Spider 2 with a Fesley Flp900. Studio version, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006) - Main opening riff / lead
Fender Bronco / Fender Stratocaster into ProCo Rat 2 / Ibanez TS9 and cranked Orange AD30 / Vox AC30
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 4 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 1 |
| Master | 5 |
The original cut uses single-coil bite through a pushed British tube amp with a Rat/TS9 push. On your humbucker-equipped Fesley LP and Spider II, the 'Crunch Red' (Marshall/British Plexi model) provides the necessary mid bite; gain is kept at 6 to prevent the hotter humbuckers from turning the garage crunch into fizzy modern metal. Treble is pushed to 7 with bass pulled back to 4 to mimic the bright single-coil attack of Alex Turner's Fender.
