From Your Arsenal (1992). Your Arsenal is the third studio album by English singer Morrissey, released on 27 July 1992 by His Master's Voice. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Morrissey's other songs from Your Arsenal, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

What guitar did Morrissey use on "We'll Let You Know"?

Settings for this sound: Gain 5.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "We'll Let You Know" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "We'll Let You Know" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
