2 songs, each with a starting point and the rig from its sources
Tonelify's library has 2 Oasis songs, each with the rig reported in interviews and articles and a reference starting point on a generic five-knob amp. There is no single Oasis setting. Supersonic starts at Gain 5 and Live Forever at Gain 5.5, so set the amp for the song, not for the artist.
The numbers below are the same ones each song page gives. The rig for each song is on its own page with the sources it comes from.
A swaggering, mid-tempo riff in F sharp minor, with a pick scrape in the intro and a thick, doubled lead line.
Start at Gain 5, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
A Les Paul crunch under an optimistic anthem in G, with two melodic solos.
Start at Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Middle 7, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2, with the neck pickup for body, bridge if the lead needs to cut.
These are positions on a generic five-knob amp with gain, bass, middle, treble and presence, each running 0 to 10. They are a starting point, not the settings used on the record, and they will not transfer unchanged to an amp with a different gain structure or EQ voicing.
| Song | Guitar and amp |
|---|---|
| Supersonic | Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Noel); Gibson SG (Bonehead)Watkins Dominator MkIII combo (Noel); Marshall JCM900 (Bonehead) |
| Live Forever | A Les Paul, probably the one Johnny Marr lent NoelMarshall with a Vox AC30, or a Marshall Valvestate and a Watkins Dominator (accounts differ) |
Tonelify reads each of these chains and translates it to the amp and guitar you already own. Adapt one to your gear →
It depends on the song. On a generic five-knob amp, Supersonic starts at Gain 5, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2; Live Forever starts at Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Middle 7, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2. These are starting points, not the settings used on the records.
Supersonic: Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Noel); Gibson SG (Bonehead); Watkins Dominator MkIII combo (Noel); Marshall JCM900 (Bonehead). Live Forever: A Les Paul, probably the one Johnny Marr lent Noel; Marshall with a Vox AC30, or a Marshall Valvestate and a Watkins Dominator (accounts differ). Each song page lists the sources behind its rig.
Yes. What carries these sounds is the gain structure, the EQ curve, the pickup position and the order of the effects, and all four can be rebuilt on other equipment. Tonelify rewrites each starting point for the amp and guitar you own.
