Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source lists exact amp knob settings for the studio solo; values estimated based on typical Marshall JCM900 settings for Britpop/rock in the 1990s and period interviews.
  • ⚠️Pedal models are confirmed for the era and band, but exact settings and order are not documented for this specific solo.
  • ⚠️Delay is clearly audible in the solo; model inferred from period interviews and common Oasis gear.
  • ⚠️No evidence of chorus, flanger, or phaser in the solo section; only delay and overdrive are clearly present.
  • ⚠️Pickup choice inferred from tone and period photos; not explicitly stated in sources.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The solo tone on 'Champagne Supernova' is classic Britpop: mid-forward, warm, and slightly overdriven, typical of Noel Gallagher's use of Vox AC30s with moderate gain and prominent mids. The reverb is present but not excessive, and the overall EQ is balanced with a slight emphasis on mids and a touch of presence for clarity.
