Supersonic amp settings — Marshall MG30CFX

The Oasis guitar tone for “Supersonic”, dialed in for a Marshall MG30CFX with a Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s. Studio version, Definitely Maybe (1994) — recorded December 1993 at Pink Museum, Liverpool

Original rig

Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Korean Samick factory, Cherry Sunburst) into WEM/Watkins Dominator MKIII combo. No pedals on studio recording. Bonehead used Gibson SG into Marshall JCM900 for rhythm.

Gritty British crunch with prominent mids, slight sizzle on top, pick attack clarity. Raw and direct—not heavily processed.

Why these settings

The WEM Dominator is a low-wattage British valve amp with warm mids and natural breakup—not as aggressive as a Marshall. Your MG30CFX's OD1 channel is closer to this than OD2, which gets too modern and scooped. Mids pushed to 7 to compensate for the MG's naturally tighter voicing vs the loose, saggy Dominator. Treble at 6 prevents the solid-state harshness the Dominator wouldn't have. Gain at 6 gives the gritty-not-saturated character of the original.

PRO TIPRoll your guitar's tone knob to 8 instead of wide open—the Dominator's speaker rolled off some highs naturally, and this prevents the MG from sounding too brittle. Dig in with your pick on the downstrokes for that Noel Gallagher attack; the tone lives in the right hand aggression.
