Why these settings

Noel Gallagher tracked the studio rhythm and leads using a vintage Strat into cranked Marshall and Vox amps pushed with an overdrive. Because the Frontman 15G has a bright, scooped American voicing and an abrasive solid-state drive channel, keep the amp on the clean channel and push mids to 7 while rounding treble down to 5 to emulate warm British EL34 crunch. A classic Tube Screamer or Marshall-style overdrive pedal is strongly recommended to supply smooth, organic clipping without harsh clipping on this practice amp.

PRO TIPFor the iconic bridge chord over 'Take that look from off your face', play Noel's actual E7/G# chord voicing: middle finger on the 4th fret low E string (G#), index on the 2nd fret D string (E), ring on the 4th fret G string (B), mute the A string with the pad of your middle finger, and let the B and high E strings ring open.
