01Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9
BOOST — pushes the Katana Crunch channel into rich Marshall-style harmonic saturation for the chorus chords
02Boss DD-8 Digital Delay
Set to Standard mode for a subtle slapback-style ambience
The Katana's Crunch mode replicates the Marshall/Bluesbreaker edge-of-breakup voicing, while your TS9 acts as a tight mid boost. The Epiphone Casino's P-90s are naturally mid-heavy and prone to low-end boom, so bass is dialed back slightly while mids and presence remain elevated to capture Noel's chime and cut. For the clean piano intro and verse accompaniment, roll the guitar volume down to 6-7 or bypass the TS9.
