From Definitely Maybe (1994). Their debut studio album, produced by Owen Morris, Oasis, Mark Coyle and David Batchelor, it was released on 29 August 1994 through Creation Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue (R4) through a Marshall Valvestate 80V 8080, the nearest rig to the one documented for Oasis, stands in. Set the amp to a clean, lightly driven tone and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Married with Children" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Married with Children" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
