Guitars
The defining Oasis guitar — a vintage 1960s Epiphone Sheraton (made in America before the brand moved production) with a hollow body giving the warm, rounded tone of "Champagne Supernova" and "Wonderwall". Noel has spoken about finding these in Manchester pawn shops.

Noel's live workhorse throughout the Oasis years — the ES-355 with Bigsby provides the semi-hollow warmth with a vibrato tailpiece for subtle movement. Used across most of the major Oasis tours.

Les Paul used for harder rock passages on the later Oasis albums and High Flying Birds — warmer, fatter than the semi-hollows for specific sonic textures.
"Don't Look Back in Anger" piano aside, Noel has used Stratocasters for clean, brighter passages — but the Sheraton/ES-355 always returns as his primary.
Amplifiers
Primary amp throughout Oasis — cranked for natural tube breakup. No pedals needed for rhythm crunch. Volume around 7, gain moderate.
Running alongside the Marshall in stereo — the Vox provides chime and top-end sparkle that contrasts with the Marshall's warmth. The two-amp stereo rig is a signature Oasis live technique.
Used more frequently with High Flying Birds — smaller American vintage amp for recording and smaller venue touring.
Pedals & Effects
Used on early Oasis recordings for extra grit — "Live Forever" has traces of Fuzz Face character in the rhythm layers.
"Champagne Supernova" lead delay — set to a dotted-eighth rhythm that creates the signature melodic echo. Simple and effective.
Used sparingly on select Oasis recordings — not a core Noel sound but present on specific studio tracks.

Later period — TS9 as a boost into the Marshall for lead tones on High Flying Birds material.
