Notes & Caveats
- Gain adjusted to 0 for clean tone
- No direct source specifies amp knob settings for the clean riff section of 'Get Out Alive'; settings estimated based on Diezel VH4 typical clean channel use for modern rock in the 2000s.
- No explicit mention of pedals or effects for the clean part in available sources; chorus, delay, or modulation not audibly present in the recording.
- Guitar model confirmed for era and band, but not for this specific song section; however, Ibanez SZ320 is the most likely based on studio and live evidence from the 'One-X' era.
- Pickup choice inferred from tone and typical clean usage; neck pickup provides the warm, full clean heard in the recording.
- Amp reverb level estimated based on subtle ambience in studio recording; no evidence of external reverb pedal.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Three Days Grace's 'Get Out Alive' riff features a modern, saturated high-gain tone with tight low end, balanced mids, and enough treble/presence for clarity without harshness. The band typically used Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers in this era, favoring a focused, articulate rock/alt-metal sound with minimal reverb for punch.
