Rockfield Strat Anthem — Chiming Rhythm & Singing Solo
Noel and Gem Archer have identified a sunburst Fender Stratocaster as the guitar used on the recording, and Noel associated a Vox amplifier acquired for the Morning Glory sessions specifically with the song. The precise Vox model and control positions remain uncertain, so the settings use a representative AC50/Conqueror-style clean-to-crunch platform.

Notes
Keep the rhythm less distorted than the record’s mastering suggests. For the solo, add mids and level while preserving the Strat’s string separation.
