Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No direct studio pedalboard photo for 'Slide Away' solo, but multiple sources confirm Flying V and Marshall JCM900 for this track.
  • ⚠️Pedal choices (TS9/OD-9, Boss DD-3) inferred from era, genre, and forum consensus; not confirmed by direct studio documentation.
  • ⚠️Amp EQ settings estimated based on typical Marshall JCM900 usage for 90s Britpop/rock and forum suggestions.
  • ⚠️No evidence of modulation (chorus/flanger/phaser) or wah in the solo; delay is clearly audible.
  • ⚠️Reverb is likely minimal and from the studio or amp room, not a pedal or amp effect.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Noel Gallagher's 'Slide Away' solo uses a classic British crunch with his Epiphone or Gibson through a cranked Marshall, favoring mid-forward, warm, and singing tones typical of early '90s Britpop. The solo is saturated but not high-gain, with pronounced mids, balanced bass/treble, moderate presence, and subtle studio reverb for space.
