Noel started using an Orange OR-120 amp sometime in 1994, replacing the WEM Dominator he had been using for live performances up until that point. The second part of his live rig was a Marshall Model 8080, which he continued using alongside the Orange. This setup remained his main live rig until the Morning Glory tour, when he switched to Marshall stacks.
I swapped the WEM with an Orange stack for a while. I couldn’t tell you which one it was. I bought that simply because of Peter Green – hes one of my favorite ever guitarists. And they look… to have an orange cab on stage at the time was like wow, man!
The Noel Gallagher Guitars & Gear Interview
Over the years, Noel accumulated a few different OR-120s, but his main one during those early years was easily recognizable by a Rolling Stones sticker on it.
Interestingly, that exact amp was later sold by Noel and has since appeared for sale multiple times on platforms like Reverb. At one point, it ended up at the renowned Matt’s Guitar Shop, but it has since been sold again. Its current location or owner remains unknown.
