Noel Gallagher's High-End Pedalboard for Oasis's Reunion Tour
Noel Gallagher, re-embracing his role as a lead guitarist for the Oasis reunion, has unveiled a high-end pedalboard setup for the band's 2025 tour. The unique pedals in his rig include the tube-driven SIB Echodrive and the BSM Finest Treble Booster Model OR 2004.
The SIB Echodrive, a tube-driven echo/delay, features a 12AX7 tube, giving it a distinctive character. The BSM Finest Treble Booster, inspired by the Colorsound Power Boost used by David Gilmour, provides a notable treble boost for shaping Gallagher's tone.
Other notable pedals in his rig that complement these unique units are three ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky pedals (each assigned to specific Oasis songs), a Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb / Delay, Empress Effects Echosystem, Strymon El Capistan, TC Electronic Polytune 3 tuner, a Boss Digital Delay (possibly DD-5), Pete Cornish SS-2 Soft Sustain 2, Strymon Timeline, Keeley Compressor Plus, Kingsley Page Tube Boost, and a Dunlop Cry Baby Mini Wah.
This combination blends modern digital delays, classic analog-style effects, and rare boutique or discontinued pedals like the SIB Echodrive and BSM Treble Booster, creating a richly textured live sound for the reunion tour.
Gallagher's backline comprises four tube amp combos, including a pair of Marshall JTM45s and a pair of Hiwatt Custom 50s. Interestingly, his pedalboard is powered by a mains power supply, not just his pedalboard power supply. For his guitar solos, Gallagher uses a Pete Cornish Soft Sustain 2 drive pedal. A Dunlop Cry Baby Mini wah pedal is also part of the setup.
The company that manufactured the BSM Finest Treble Booster, BSM pedals, has closed since the death of Bernd C. Meiser last year. However, these pedals continue to be highly sought after for their vintage tone and unique characteristics.
In summary, the SIB Echodrive and BSM Finest Treble Booster Model OR 2004 are unique, rare pedals in Noel Gallagher’s 2025 Oasis touring rig, distinguished by tube-driven echo/delay and vintage treble boost characteristics.
