Dance Gavin Dance – Artificial Selection

Just too much stuff, man ... an insane amount of stuff. For this record I probably used, like, 20 pedals. But my Boss SY300 synthesizer pedal is amazing. And the Eventide PitchFactor is insane.

The pedal was mentioned in 2021 Premier Guitar interview.

"I love synth pedals," declares Swan. "I'm always looking for a good synth pedal. When I found the SY-300, it blew my mind." He's twisted his guitar signal on the past four DGD records with that big blue Boss box.

In the YouTube video "Dance Gavin Dance: Behind the Gear (Effects & Pedals Arena Corner)" by SHY BOYZ, Will Swan discusses his use of various pedals, including the Eventide TimeFactor Twin Delay. He highlights the extensive range of effects he employs, mentioning the Eventide PitchFactor as a key element in his setup since 2015.

• you can clearly see in this video at about 7:18 that the Orange amp Will uses is the original rockerverb. It also shows what levels he is currently using on tour.

"The shameless self-promoter in me says I should use the signature, but I just go for tone and feel," admits Swan. So while he tours with a pair of his signature Kiesel WS6 models, he says this is his current crush: a custom Delos model with Kiesel Lithium single-coils. (Fun fact: Only Jeff Kiesel is able to pull off this splashy purple flame finish.) Swan has used the Delos extensively on the last two Dance Gavin Dance releases (2018's Artificial Selection and 2020's Afterburner).

As soon as Tim is shown at 0:25 in the video, he is very clearly holding his Model-T, which he has also used in many live videos since the latest album "Artificial Selection".
