Cigarettes & Alcohol (Remastered) amp settings — Fender Mustang 3 V2 combo

The Oasis guitar tone for “Cigarettes & Alcohol (Remastered)”, dialed in for a Fender Mustang 3 V2 combo with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Definitely Maybe (1994) — original UK release and 2014 remaster use the same tracking

Original rig

Epiphone Les Paul (bridge humbucker) → Marshall JCM800 2203 cranked, no pedals, recorded at Monnow Valley Studio

Gritty British crunch, prominent upper-mids with bark, slight compression from power amp saturation, dry recording

01Mustang Built-In Overdrive (Stomp OD)

RECOMMENDED — enable the built-in Overdrive stomp in Fender FUSE software to push the amp into JCM800-style saturation since the Mustang's amp models don't break up as aggressively as the original Marshall

Why these settings

Original was a humbucker Les Paul into a cranked Marshall — your Strat's single coils are brighter and lower output. Compensated by raising mid +2 vs typical Fender settings, dropping treble -1 to tame the Strat ice-pick, and pushing gain higher than the original amp needed because the Mustang's modeling doesn't saturate the same way. The built-in OD stomp is essential to get the front-end push that Noel got from sheer volume.

PRO TIPDig in hard with your pick right over the bridge pickup pole pieces and use all downstrokes on the main riff — the attack and aggression define this tone more than any knob setting.
