From Pantheon (2025). Pantheon is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Dance Gavin Dance, released on 12 September 2025 by Rise Records. The album's personnel list credits Andrew Wells and William Swan with guitars. 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 Pantheon, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
