Notes
Studio recording for 'It's All Over' (2006, One-X album). Barry Stock is confirmed to use Ibanez SZ series guitars and Diezel VH4 amps for this era and album. Marshall Major used for layering. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Effects and pedals inferred from era-correct rig and audible tone.
