Wonderwall

Wonderwall's guitar tone is a wall of jangly, layered acoustic and electric guitar. The electric guitar parts use an Epiphone Riviera semi-hollow through a Marshall, producing a bright, chiming rhythm tone. The semi-hollow body adds natural resonance and airiness, while the Marshall provides just enough crunch to give the chords bite without overwhelming the song's delicate melodic quality. Multiple guitar layers and a capo create the signature Britpop wall of sound.

What we checked

Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works

Preset files — 1 of 3 complete
  • Helix builds complete — every block in the recipe is in the file
  • Quad Cortex 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
    Which ones

    Replaced with a stand-in: Studio Comp, Brit 900 Lead, Room, Tilt EQ. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.

  • Katana 3 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
    Which ones

    Replaced with a stand-in: Crunch, Compressor, Plate. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.

What we didn't check
  • Nobody played this through a real amp. There is no human listening test behind any number on this page.
  • The settings are reasoned from the sources below, not measured off the record.
  • No audio has been rendered for this recipe yet, so you cannot hear it before you load it.
  • 3 platforms on this page (TONEX, Kemper, Fractal) get a model pointer, not a preset file — nothing was built or checked for them.
