Be Here Now Jet-Wall — ES-355 Rhythm & Florentine Lead

By the Be Here Now era Noel’s red Gibson ES-355 had become his principal rhythm electric, while the Silver Sparkle Les Paul Florentine is confirmed as an album guitar. Noel later described this period as Les Pauls and Casino-style guitars through 100-watt Marshall stacks with enormous multi-tracking; exact per-song controls are approximated from that documented setup.

Notes

Do not try to create the record’s density with one extremely distorted amp. Stack several mid-gain performances and keep the low end trimmed so the layers remain audible.

See the same signal chain mapped to another platform. Knob values carry over as starting points — gain ranges differ between platforms.
