Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct source gives exact amp knob settings for the studio recording; values estimated based on typical Marshall JCM900 settings for 90s Britpop rhythm tones.
  • ⚠️No explicit confirmation of pedal use for the riff section on the original studio recording; Tube Screamer and delay pedals are confirmed for Oasis era but not specifically for this song's riff.
  • ⚠️Amp model and guitar confirmed for era and recording, but some sources reference live/touring gear not used on the original studio track.
  • ⚠️No evidence of effects loop or amp-based effects (chorus, flanger, etc.) on the JCM900 for this part.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Noel Gallagher used a crunchy Britpop tone with a Marshall amp, favoring mid-forward, balanced settings for clarity and punch. The riff is classic British rock: moderate gain, strong mids, and subtle reverb, matching both the era's production and Oasis's signature sound.
