Wonderwall amp settings — Boss ME-80

The Oasis guitar tone for “Wonderwall”, dialed in for a Boss ME-80 with a ESP LTD EC-1000. Studio version, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? (1995)

Original rig

Epiphone Casino / Gibson ES-335 (semi-hollow, humbuckers) → Vox AC30 (volume at ~3, edge-of-breakup clean) — no pedals, amp volume low for glassy shimmer behind acoustic layering

Glassy, chimey clean with slight edge-of-breakup warmth — sits behind the acoustic, adding subtle harmonic sparkle rather than crunch

Why these settings

Your EC-1000's active EMG humbuckers are hotter and brighter than Noel's semi-hollow Epiphone Casino. Rolling guitar volume to 7 softens the attack and lets the neck pickup bloom like a semi-hollow. Tone at 7 tames the EMG's high-end bite. Gain at 2 (not higher) keeps it glassy — the original wasn't crunchy, just kissing breakup. ME-80's CLEAN amp type approximates the Vox's headroom better than the CRUNCH or VO settings which add too much grit.

PRO TIPPick lightly near the neck pickup and let chords ring open — Noel's electric parts on this track are sparse, sustained stabs that fill gaps in the acoustic strumming rather than driving the rhythm. The tone comes from restraint, not attack.
