Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp knob settings for this exact song/solo found in sources; settings estimated based on Marshall JCM900 typical usage for Oasis live in 2000 and genre/era.
- No explicit pedalboard photo for this exact show/solo; effects inferred from live video and typical Oasis rig.
- No evidence of additional pedals (overdrive, boost, modulation) in this solo; delay and reverb are audible but specific models/settings not confirmed.
- If more detailed pedalboard photos or interviews surface, settings may need revision.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Noel Gallagher at Wembley 2000 used his classic British crunch sound, likely via a Marshall or similar amp, with mids pushed for that Oasis wall-of-sound, moderate gain for clarity and punch, and subtle reverb from the amp or venue. The tone is mid-forward, crunchy but not overly saturated, with balanced bass and treble.
