Dire Straits
An Erlewine Automatic is strongly associated with the song’s central guitar part, alongside possible Schecter or Fender layers. Contemporary gear databases list compression and reverb while the nasal filtering may be wah or phaser based, so the generic parked-filter block below is an honest reconstruction rather than a confirmed pedal model.
