Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp knob settings for 'Get Out Alive' riff found in sources; settings estimated based on Diezel VH4 typical usage for modern rock/metal and genre/era.
- No explicit pedal or effect model confirmed for this song's riff section; no audible modulation or time-based effects in the recording.
- Guitar model confirmed for album, but not for every track; Firebird V is most likely for main rhythm/riff sections per Equipboard.
- If alternate amp or pedal info emerges, settings may need revision.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Three Days Grace in this era used high-gain, modern rock tones with tight low end and balanced mids, likely from a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier or similar amp. The riff is aggressive but not overly scooped, with enough mids to cut through, moderate bass for punch, and minimal reverb for a dry, punchy mix.
