Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No specific numeric amp settings for gain, bass, mid, treble, presence, or reverb found in sources; values estimated based on typical Marshall/Vox settings for 90s Britpop live tones.
  • ⚠️Pedalboard confirmed by documentary footage, but no explicit pedal settings or signal chain order given.
  • ⚠️Amp model is consensus from forum and visual evidence, not direct artist quote.
  • ⚠️No evidence of additional modulation effects (chorus/flanger/phaser) in this solo; only delay and wah are confirmed.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Noel Gallagher at Knebworth used a crunchy, mid-forward Britpop tone typical of his Marshall amps (often JCM900), with mids pushed for that Oasis wall-of-sound, moderate gain for sustain, and subtle reverb from the live mix. These settings reflect the thick, present, but not overly bright or scooped tone heard in the solo section.
