Why these settings

The ID:Core 20 V3 lacks traditional individual 3-band EQ knobs, so set the ISF knob fully clockwise (10) to lock in Noel Gallagher's British Marshall JCM900 mid-forward bite. The Super Crunch voice provides the natural tube-style saturation and compression originally achieved by driving the JCM900 with a TS-9. Tone on the Gibson Les Paul's bridge humbucker is rolled back slightly to 9 to match the mellower high-end of Noel's semi-hollow Sheraton.

PRO TIPLet open strings (especially the high B and E strings) ring out across chord changes while digging in with a heavy pick to get that massive, wall-of-sound Oasis crunch.
