Definitely Maybe Anthem Lift — Acoustic Bed & Les Paul Lead
The electric guitars were tracked with Johnny Marr’s converted 1953 Les Paul through Noel’s Marshall Valvestate 8080 and Watkins Dominator combination, with an acoustic guitar supporting the mix. Exact settings were not documented, so the values below approximate the album’s confirmed dual-amp and Space Echo palette. Source: Ground Guitar’s Definitely Maybe gear breakdown (2025).

Notes
Keep the rhythm open and bright, then use a modest mid boost for the solo. The acoustic layer should be felt as pick definition rather than heard as a separate folk-guitar part.
