Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Live performance, mid-late 1980s (post-1985). Mark Knopfler used the Pensa Suhr MK-1 for live renditions of 'Money For Nothing' after the studio recording, paired with the Soldano SLO-100 amp. The clean solo section is played with the amp set for a clean tone, minimal gain, and no overdrive/distortion pedals. No explicit pedalboard effects confirmed for the clean solo section.

Difficulty

The clean solo requires advanced fingerstyle technique, dynamic control, and precise articulation to achieve the signature tone and phrasing, making it challenging for most players.
