RAK Studio Rotary Bite — Selmer Rhythm & Rotosphere Solo
Turner’s TS808 and Selmer Zodiac provide the track’s clipped, mid-forward rhythm sound. The solo’s rotating-speaker character is specifically documented as a Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII, making it one of the band’s better-sourced song-specific effects. Exact control positions were not published, so numerical values are representative. Source: Equipboard’s Teddy Picker gear page and Alex Turner equipment archive.

Notes
Keep the rhythm dry and tightly muted. For the solo, use the Rotosphere’s fast setting and enough drive to make the modulation chew through the sustained notes.
