Recording notes

From Boxes (2016). Boxes is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band the Goo Goo Dolls, released on May 6, 2016 on Warner Bros. Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Goo Goo Dolls' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Common Questions About the "Over and Over" Tone

  1. What guitar did Goo Goo Dolls use on "Over and Over"?

    The guitar on "Over and Over" (released 2016) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

  2. What amp settings does "Over and Over" need?

    Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Over and Over" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Over and Over" 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.
