Noel Gallagher spoke to about recording his album 'Chasing Yesterday', and mentioned using a Nash 63 Stratocaster. He says, 'On this record, all over it, is a Nash ’63 Stratocaster, which is fucking outrageous, and I have a brown Nash Tele Deluxe, a ’72, which is also great.' It seems like this guitar is definitely used for 'Chasing Yesterday',as Gallagher said in this: 'I’ve got two Nash guitars that might be the best Fender-style guitars I’ve ever played. One, a cream 1963 Strat, is all over the record, and the other, a ’72 Deluxe Tele, delivers an amazing sound. Whoever built these guitars is brilliant.' In an, Gallagher explained the backstory of how he got that guitar. 'I had a very expensive 1963 off-white Strat stolen from me about three years ago.
It was the best Strat I’d ever played. And I thought, I’m not fucking spending that much money to replace it, so I bought a Nash copy of it, and it’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned. And the Nash Tele is astonishing.
I use them both all over my new record.'
Not sure of the 2012 rig, but cool outline on earlier history and tone: 1994 pre- Definitely Maybe days: Epiphone Les Paul Standard Marshall MG15CFX or Marshall MG50CFX combo Vox AC-30, or Vox AC-15 Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal Pedal-wise, a trademark Noel trick is to add delay on some guitar solos. So.get a delay pedal, it's essential! Like many skint, up-and-coming musicians who wanted to get some good affordable gear, his main guitar in the early years before the release of 'Supersonic' was an Epiphone, the Les Paul Standard model, in cherry Sunburst. It might be the same one you see on the UK version of the 'Supersonic' video. Noel's early setup Ampwise, Noel had a quite interesting setup: A Roland Space Echo RE-201 into a small Marshall Solid-State Combo and then into a Vox AC-30: Noel loved, at the time, the crunchy sound of a good Marshall amp distortion, so he plugged it into the clean channel of a Vox AC-30.possibly a late 70s version with no reverb. The Space Echo was probably used for the reverb and nice compression sound.
Though, if he wasn't using a Boss DD-3 at the time, then maybe the delay sounds you hear in tracks such as 'Columbia' are the Space Echo. In the first Oasis TV appearance, playing 'Supersonic' (available on the Definitely Maybe DVD) Noel still had the Space Echo and Marshall, but the Vox AC-30 gave way to the WEM Dominator 25 watt tube Amp. We have no info whether that setup was used in the studio for the 'Definitely Maybe' sessions, but his live sound around this era (and then throughout the 'Definitely Maybe' promotional gigs) was great: Really loud and distorted, a true 'wall of noise' that was somewhere between the shoegaze noise Noel must've listened to a lot (and which was popular during the early 90's) and the more classic rock sound he adopted later.
On a budget, here's what we recommend: Epiphone Dot ES-335 Marshall MG100HCFX Head Vox V847 Wah Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer (classic! For a cheap alternative, try the MXR GT-OD - very good!) Boss DD-3 Delay Noel with Les Paul and old WEM amp er Definitely Maybe was released, Noel may have still kept the Epiphone Les Paul for a while, but he quickly moved to Gibson ones: He could be seen using a Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul (with open coil bridge pickup), and a black Gibson Les Paul Custom (first US tour, December UK gigs) which gained an 'Oasis' sticker somewhere along the way. And, of course, we can't forget the beautiful late 70's Epiphone Rivieras, in dark brown/ (really deep) Wine Red. The late 70's Epiphone Riviera that Noel and Bonehead used to play are quite different than the other Riviera models made before and since: they have humbuckers and stoptail bridges. The original 60's Rivieras (and the ones made up until recently) had frequensator tailpiece and mini-humbuckers. The Epiphone Riviera made in the early 90s are a mix of both: they had proper humbuckers but also the frequensator tailpiece.
Those late Epiphone Rivieras that Noel used are called MIJ (or Matsumoko) Rivieras, made in Japan from around 1978 to 1982. Other Guitars: on the 'Supersonic' single sleeve there are two guitars that Noel may have used in the studio but not live - a Gibson ES-335 (red) and a Rickenbacker Jetglo, either the 330 Jetglo or the 360 model. Noel Gallagher has always loved Semi-Acoustic guitars, throughout his career, and altough he's used many other types of guitar, we can safely say semi-acoustics represent the quintessential Oasis sound, thanks to their warm, full-bodied tone. If you're on a budget, try the Epiphone Les Paul Standard - unbeatable value for money, truly excellent guitars. Amps: His main amp appears to be a Marshall Stack then - Marshall JCM 900 100 watt head w/1960A & 1960B 4x12 cabinets.

FX Pedals: By the end of 1994/ early 1995 (Live By The Sea DVD) Noel Gallagher's pedalboard definitely had the following pedals: Vox V847 Wah Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer (classic! For a cheap alternative, try the MXR GT-OD - very good!) Boss DD-3 Delay Some say he also had a Boss CS-3 Compressor and a Boss SD-2 Dual Overdrive. One of Noel's favourite tricks was to use lots of delay and scratch his guitar strings with a metal slide.definitely one of the most fun things a guitarist can do onstage! Some reports suggest that Noel only used the Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer for solos, relying on the Marshall distortion. THE BIG TIME - What's The Story (Morning Glory) To Knebworth, 1995-1996: Noel's setup changed little during this time, still sticking to his favourite guitars, amps and FX pedals from the previous tours. One notable addition to his pedalboard was a classic Boss PH-3 phaser pedal used for some psychedelic swirly sounds during live 'jams' such as 'I Am The Walrus' on the 'There And Then' DVD.
In a promo photo released during the recording of 'Some Might Say', Noel is seen holding a Gibson Non-Reverse Firebird, awith an Orange stack in the background. According to some sources Noel used 2 Orange Overdrive 120 heads w/2 4x12 cabinets, but a Marshall Stack was still a favourite. On the credits of 'What's The Story (Morning Glory)' it also says that Noel used an e-bow. And then there was.MAINE ROAD! It was at Maine Road that Noel Gallagher debuted his most iconic guitar - the Epiphone Sheraton Union Jack Some might say it's a Epiphone Riviera, but they are wrong.the headstock gives the clue: it's a 60's Epiphone Sheraton alright. Unlike the new Sheratons, the 60s version looked very similar to the 60's (and to the most recent) Riviera, as both featured frequensator tailpiece and mini-humbuckers.
Noel Gallagher Guitar Setup
It was a present from then girlfriend Meg Matthews, and customized by a London luthier. Maybe most of you realize this, but some might not: It's worth noting that Noel Gallagher's signature guitar, the Epiphone Supernova, is an entirely different thing from the Union Jack guitar he played at Maine Road, and we've found no evidence he's ever played it. He just posed with it. The guitar - excellent as it is, by all accounts - is just an expensive piece of merchandise.and quite different than the original Union Jack guitar: the Supernova has stoptail bridge and humbuckers, as opposed to frequensator and mini-humbuckers, making it closer to the Epiphone Sheraton II or the 70s Epiphone Riviera. The 60's Epiphone Sheraton quickly became one of Noel's favourite guitars, and could be seen at several gigs - not the Union Jack, but a sunburst model Sadly discontinued, the Epiphone John Lee Hooker Signature Sheraton I (not the commonly found Sheraton II) looked exactly like Noel's. Some sites say Noel Gallagher played one - he might, but not before 2000, when the guitar was released.
So the guitar we see him playing at 1996 gigs - including Knebworth - must be an older model. FROM THE BE HERE NOW 'WILDERNESS YEARS' to FAMILIAR TO MILLIONS (2000): Where Did It All Go Wrong? After the halcyon days of Knebworth, all of a sudden Oasis were not cool anymore in the eyes of many, despite their still huge popularity, and one of the reasons was 'Be Here Now', the drug-fuelled Britpop opus and nail in its coffin. But, on a guitar point of view, no one can complain - Noel Gallagher sounded wilder and louder than ever! He was using some fuzz pedal for the first time, a Coloursound Tone Bender. The Coloursound myspace page lists him as one of the clients.

Great pedal, dearly priced. Click to expand., Noel Gallagher is the main reason i play guitar back in the 90's. He is a main influence to my guitar style until now. Back in the the 90's he use only Marshall Combo and running it to a Vox AC30 and a tube screamer, but his rig becomes so large and the amps become so many either hehehe.
But for me, the best sound of his sound is around Definitely Maybe until Be here now Era And until now I'm still searching the sound from Some might say and I like to teach the world to sing (which is a song where Some might say comes from ) The intro and the Solo Parts is so Noel Gallagher. I'm not sure if anyone is interested in an update, but these were posted on Twitter yesterday from the first gig of the new tour in Belfast. Looks like Noel has added some Tele Deluxes and Strats (to the right of the Martin acoustic) to the mix of his usual 345s and 355s.
Looking at the pedalboard, my best guess as to the order (R to L) is Timeline, Boss PN-2, Cornish SS2, Micro Pog, Catalinbread Echorec, Boss Tuner (in the middle), SIB Echodrive, ZVEX Box of Rock, Catalibread Topanga, and another Boss Delay. Amps look the same as last tour - HiWatts and the Blues Jr.
