From Jackpot Juicer (2022). Jackpot Juicer is the tenth full-length studio album by American rock band Dance Gavin Dance, released on July 29, 2022, on Rise Records. 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 Jackpot Juicer, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "Die Another Day" Tone
What guitar did Dance Gavin Dance use on "Die Another Day"?
The guitar on "Die Another Day" (released 2022) isn't documented; the Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "Die Another Day" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, 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.
Can I play "Die Another Day" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Die Another Day" 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.
