Noel Gallagher’s 2025 pedalboard (Oasis)

Hard to miss… Summer 2025 marks the return of OASIS with a much-anticipated tour.

Noel Gallagher, the band’s guitarist and singer, kindly posted a photo a few days ago of the pedalboard he’s using on this new tour. A rare gesture at this level – and a godsend for all those who like to dissect his gear!

No less than 3 copies identified, each assigned to a different song (D’You Know What I Mean?, Champagne Supernova, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star), probably with slightly different settings. It’s a gritty analog looper : brutal compression, natural distortion, retro lo-fi ambience. Ideal for textured intros or effects.

Pedal combining delay and reverb, often in “Hall + Delay” mode. Very present in 90s Oasis rig. Perfect for broad ambiences , as on Champagne Supernova, Stand By Me, Slide Away.

High-end multi-delay, capable of reverse, filters and modulations. Versatile and precise, it can be used to add sophisticated textures to song intros or codas. It’s hard to say on which track this pedal might be used, but it’s easy to imagine it being used in a very specific and precise way.

Analog 12AX7 tube delay, often used as an always-on preamp (as can be seen from the 3 knobs on the right, all set to 0, and the delay control on the top right, also set to 0). It brings grain, warmth and natural compression, making it one of Noel’s signature sounds on stage.

La Strymon El Capistan is a high-end delay pedal that faithfully simulates vintage tape echoes, such as the Maestro Echoplex or Roland Space Echo. Noel uses it as a warm, organic tape echo. Perfect for 90s Oasis vibes like Supersonic or Fade In-Out.

Compact, reliable and precise chromatic tuner. Allows quick tuning changes between songs, with highly legible LED display. A classic of its kind, it’s no surprise to see it on this type of pedalboard.

Simple, effective digital delay. Set at around 800 ms, it is used on Wonderwall, Stand By Me and other iconic tracks with a clear, straight echo.

A high-end, low-gain overdrive designed for leads, Noel uses it as a transparent boost for his solos. It brings sustain and clarity, often used on Live Forever, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star, activated via a dedicated switch (“SOLO” on the switcher).

The Strymon Timeline is a professional delay pedal offering exceptional sonic finesse and flexibility. With over 200 presets, it offers a wide range of high-quality digital delays: single, multitap, reverse, glitch, filters, looping… each setting can be modified via tap tempo, tempo-lock or MIDI controllers.

Inspired by the legendary Orange Power Boost of the ’70s, the BSM OR is a boutique treble booster that accentuates the midrange and gives riffs bite. Noel uses it to thicken the signal before the amp, particularly on powerful tracks like Cigarettes & Alcohol or Columbia.

Highly respected for its transparency and blend control, the Keeley Compressor Plus allows Noel to smooth attacks without crushing dynamics. It’s probably always left activated on his pedalboard to bring coherence and punch, especially in clean or light crunch – ideal on tracks like Wonderwall or Don’t Look Back in Anger.

This 12AX7 tube boost, handmade in Canada, is a Noel favorite. The Kingsley Page warms up the signal with a light, natural compression and smooth saturation typical of tube preamps. It’s used to thicken the sound upstream of the amp, especially on dynamic passages or to flesh out riffs on tracks like Morning Glory.

A compact version of the famous Cry Baby, this wah retains all the classic range of expression in a reduced format. Noel uses it for his expressive solos, particularly on Hello, D’You Know What I Mean? and Bring It On Down. Its minimal footprint makes it perfect for fitting onto a large touring pedalboard without compromise.
