Abbey Road Stadium Ballad — Acoustic Intro & Marshall Chorus
The song comes from the heavily layered Be Here Now sessions, when Noel’s ES-355 and Silver Sparkle Les Paul Florentine were used with large Marshall stacks. The exact acoustic model and song-specific amp settings were not published, so this preset uses representative period instruments and separates the intimate opening from the multi-tracked chorus.

Notes
Keep the acoustic opening present and direct. For the chorus, use multiple moderate-gain layers rather than one saturated track.
