"Noel Gallagher reveals images of Oasis reunion setup - our curiosity is certainly aroused"
Noel Gallagher Unveils High-End Pedalboard Setup for Oasis's Reunion Shows
Noel Gallagher, the iconic lead guitarist of Oasis, has shared details of his touring rig for the band's reunion shows on his Instagram account, Noel Gallagher's HFB. The pedalboard setup reflects Gallagher's high-end taste and stage demands, blending both modern and rare "museum piece" pedals.
Common/Modern Stompboxes
The setup includes industry-standard equipment such as the TC Electronic Polytune 3 guitar tuner, Keeley Electronics Compressor, and a Dunlop Cry Baby Mini wah pedal. Also, there's a Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, identified under masking tape, and a professional-grade Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay.
High-End / Museum Piece Pedals
A connoisseur’s pick, the BSM Finest Treble Booster Model OR 2004, a rare boost pedal loved by David Gilmour, finds a place in Gallagher's pedalboard. This pedal, modeled on the classic Orange Treble & Bass booster used by Pink Floyd, is no longer in production, as the manufacturer, Bernd C. Meiser, passed away in 2024, and the company has since closed.
Additional Effects
Gallagher's pedalboard features three ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky pedals, each apparently programmed for specific Oasis songs like “Rock & Roll Star,” “Champagne Supernova,” and “D’You Know What I Mean?,” enabling complex live looping and effects management. The setup also includes the SIB Electronics Echodrive Delay, another delay effect complementing the Boss delays.
Gallagher's Live Sound
Gallagher's live sound is supported by a Pete Cornish Soft Sustain 2 drive pedal. The pedalboard also includes Gallagher's favourite, the SIB Echodrive, a tube-driven, mains-powered echo/delay.
This detailed setup shows Gallagher's interest in historic and boutique gear as well as modern reliable pedals, balancing tradition and innovation for the reunion shows. If Gallagher were to pare down his setup, he could have a seaworthy worship guitar rig with just these high-end units.
