Notes & Caveats
- No direct source lists exact amp knob settings for the studio recording; values estimated based on typical Marshall JCM900 usage for 90s Britpop rock.
- Pedal usage for the studio recording is not explicitly confirmed; live boards from the era suggest possible use of Ibanez TS9, Boss DS-1, and Marshall Guv'nor, but no evidence for the main riff section in the studio.
- No evidence of time-based or modulation effects (delay, chorus, flanger, phaser) on the main riff; the tone is dry and direct.
- Pickup choice inferred from typical rhythm tone and live footage; not directly confirmed for the studio take.
- If more detailed studio notes or isolated tracks become available, update with exact pedal/amp settings.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Noel Gallagher's 'Morning Glory' riff uses a crunchy, mid-forward Britpop tone typical of a cranked Marshall or Vox, with strong mids, moderate gain, and balanced bass/treble. The production is dry but not devoid of space, with subtle reverb and presence for clarity.
