Studio recording, 1995-1996. Noel Gallagher used his Epiphone Sheraton through a Marshall JCM900 for the main riff. No evidence of live/touring gear (e.g., Marshall SV20C, Hiwatt, Fender Blues Junior) being used on the original recording. Pedals confirmed for Oasis era but not always for this track. No evidence of effects loop or amp-based effects on the JCM900 for this part.
