Noel bought a WEM Dominator Mk.III amp at Johnny Roadhouse in Manchester in 1993. This 15-watt, all-valve amp, equipped with a 12-inch speaker, was a staple in his setup during live performances until mid-1994, paired with a Marshall Model 8080.
According to an interview he did with The Pedal Show recently, the amp was also used on Oasis’ debut album, Definetely Maybe, but the sound was obviosly altered to some extent during the mixing.
The WEM Dominator was replaced by an Orange OR-120 head around mid-1994, but Noel held onto the WEM and occasionally used it on stage until 1996. For example, it was part of his setup during the legendary Knebworth gigs that year.
