Supersonic amp settings — Peavey 5150
The Oasis guitar tone for “Supersonic”, dialed in for a Peavey 5150 with a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster. Studio version, Definitely Maybe (1994) — iconic main opening riff and rhythm track
Marshall Valvestate 8080 (OD2 channel) blended with WEM Dominator tube combo, Roland RE-201 Space Echo, 1970s Gibson Les Paul Custom (bridge humbucker)

The 5150 Lead channel is excessively saturated and modern for 90s Britpop, so using the Rhythm channel with the Crunch button engaged yields the authentic raw British overdrive. To compensate for the Squier Telecaster single-coil bridge pickup compared to Noel's Les Paul humbucker, the amp treble is softened to 5 and the guitar tone knob is rolled back slightly to 8 while mids are pushed to 7 for body. Set Resonance to 6 to provide the low-end punch of a closed-back 4x12 cabinet.
