How to get the Do I Wanna Know? guitar tone

Arctic Monkeys

Big, saturated, full of sustain. The kind of tone that makes a three-note riff feel like a statement. Heavy low-end warmth that makes even single-note lines feel physical. You feel this one before you hear it. Layer in room reverb and the whole thing takes on a dimension you can't get from the amp alone.
