Notes & Caveats
- No explicit numeric amp settings found for this exact song/section; values estimated based on typical Britpop/rock settings for a Fender Pro Junior and Les Paul with humbuckers.
- Pedalboard for this exact performance/section not fully documented; only pedals with strong evidence or audible presence included.
- No evidence of modulation effects (chorus, flanger, phaser) or wah in the riff section; delay and compression inferred from typical Noel Gallagher live setups and audible characteristics.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical Noel rhythm tone and live video footage showing bridge pickup selected.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Noel Gallagher at Wembley 2000 used his classic British crunch tone, likely a Marshall or similar amp, with mids pushed for that Oasis wall-of-sound and clarity, moderate gain for punchy riff definition, and subtle reverb to suit the live stadium mix. The tone is thick, mid-forward, and not overly bright or scooped.
