Fender Bronco single-coil into Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 and '60s Magnatone Custom 410 combo amps with spring reverb

Alex Turner's rhythm sound comes from a naturally chimey vintage Selmer combo mixed with a wet Magnatone. On the Marshall MG15GR (Clean channel, which shares a 3-band EQ and has built-in spring-style digital reverb, with no Gain or Presence controls on the clean path), keep Treble pushed to 7 to match that jangly British top end while holding Bass at 5 so the 8-inch speaker doesn't get boxy. Using the Squier's middle single-coil pickup replicates the bite and openness of Turner's vintage Bronco without the bridge pickup becoming overly harsh.
