Be Here Now Key-Change Wall — Massed Rhythm & Sustained Lead
The album’s defining method was a huge number of guitars layered through 100-watt Marshall stacks, with Noel’s ES-355 and Silver Sparkle Les Paul Florentine both documented in the era. No reliable track sheet identifies every guitar or setting used on this nine-minute arrangement, so the values below are representative of that confirmed production approach.

Notes
Automate level and brightness upward through the key changes instead of increasing gain. Keep the lead mid-forward so it remains audible above the orchestra and stacked rhythms.
