From Superheaven (2025). Superheaven is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Superheaven, released on April 18, 2025. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmaster through a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100, the rig we use for Superheaven's other songs from Superheaven, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
