Notes & Caveats
- No explicit amp knob settings for 'Over and Over' found in sources; settings estimated based on Diezel VH4 typical use for modern alt-metal and Barry Stock's known rig.
- No evidence of pedal or modulation/time-based effects used in the riff section; only amp distortion and minimal reverb inferred.
- Pickup choice inferred from genre and tone; bridge humbucker is standard for heavy, articulate riffing in Three Days Grace.
- No direct studio documentation for this song's session; all gear and settings based on best available evidence for 'One-X' era and Barry Stock's main rig.
- 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, moderately forward mids, and enough treble/presence for clarity without harshness. The riff is dry and punchy, so reverb is minimal, and the settings reflect typical post-grunge/alt-metal conventions and the band's known amp choices (e.g., Mesa/Peavey).
