From Afterburner (2020). Afterburner is a studio album by the American post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance, released on 24 April 2020 by Rise Records. The album's personnel list credits Will Swan on lead guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige through a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, the rig we use for Dance Gavin Dance's other songs from Afterburner, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
