Periphery on the Axe-Fx II

It's all Axe-Fx II all the time with Periphery! Hear from the guys themselves how they're putting Fractal's Axe-Fx II to work on tour and in the studio!

[@DaveFuucck]

This band has done everything for fractal

[@neilprakasam3398]

They're pretty much the only big name band that uses it as their whole rig.

[@DaveFuucck]

I wouldn't quite say that, you'd be surprised how many bands have used/use the fractals at the moment. But Periphery have definitely brought a massive following to the brand

[@BurntSquirrel]

+Neil Prakasam Way wrong....Deftones last album was all fractal...Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa... The list goes on and on.

[@Scias]

+Chris Answeeney Meshuggah themselves as well, they're using it now

[@BurntSquirrel]

+Robbie Johnson Meshuggah uses the Axe FX Ultra the last time I checked. Maybe they switched to the 2? but yeah the guitar tones they have dialed in are crushing.

Fuuuuuuuck I wish I had an extra 5k just laying around. Sorry wifey, no anniversary trip this year. Daddy has to pretend he's Periphery in the next room. 😈

[@SocialGore]

I just bought a mint XL+ for 1900. Pretty reasonable

[@alecwoodruffmusic]

Well now that it's 4 years later you can get a used AX8 for like 1100, which is what I just did! It's virtually identical to the Axe-FX II, uses the same amp modeling and effects, but is meant for floor use rather than rack use, with stomp boxes and such.

2:45 nice audio sync

[@Pughhead]

Best one at 0:10

[@TheRocknrolla12]

FRACTAL AUDIO Axe-FX units is simply put unbelievable

[@BNA_Est.1988]

00:16 the face you make when the groove SLAPS SO FUCKING HARD

[@101stCentury]

Watching them play live is so much funnnnnnnnnn

[@cheosamad216]

Buying one next week.

[@icemilitia]

lucky wish I had the $$ for it

[@cheosamad216]

icemilitia Me and my girlfriend have been saving for 6 months. I hope it lives up to the expectations I've developed.

[@icemilitia]

My friend has one, and yes it does, you can match tones from songs it's insane

[@cheosamad216]

***** Ordered mine this week. Cant wait.

[@Gusativo]

Cheo Samad So, did it meet the expectations? What are your thoughts about it?

[@jessetate9701]

Just got me and axe fx 2

[@PestVic]

woo

[@joshuaolson6213]

What kind of IEM's do you guys use? I heard 1964 Ears but I'm not sure who uses what and how they sound with the Axe Fx

[@Cnjskwjjcbcjdjksn]

+Joshua Olson prob ultimate ears or JH audio. I use ultimate ears and have a JH pair on order. Most all the custom fit ones are quite good.

[@joshuaolson6213]

+Plauff Lses thanks for the reply! I have listened to ue and Jh both are quite good but I have owned 2 pairs of 1964's and after that will never go back to anything else! I saw on 1964's artist roster that at least one user was wearing theirs but am fuzzy on the details

[@Cnjskwjjcbcjdjksn]

+Joshua Olson Hmm cool I did not know about the brand. Their diaphragm tech is interesting. I don't have an Axe FX yet but my last tour I monitored guitar directly with the IEMs, no wedges. Was great

[@nakuldt]

whats the name of the opening song? its epic \,,/

[@eivind938]

it's called "Luck As A Constant" and yes it's pretty epic

[@mohitrahaman]

i can never afford this

[@levimcelrath9232]

so jake still uses the ultra live?

[@seybsnilksz]

Levi McElrath They all use the Axe Fx II XL now.

[@levimcelrath9232]

Nice!

[@Sandstrom765]

Spam 8 while you watch this video. That is all.

[@wawangkurnia3048]

what this song

[@MickZarco]

Wawang Kurniawan Luck as a Constant

[@MarkLumsley]

This is the first time I've ever heard Periphery... ...sounds like a gridlock of guitars stuck in traffic on Friday evening. :s

[@KennydeathV2]

***** Maybe you should try actually listening to one of their songs

[@MarkLumsley]

Interesting idea...

[@bulkzeroone5982]

And then a new firmware comes out that somehow sounds even more "realer" than the last more "realer" update and you have to reset your amp and start all your patches again! It is like getting an amp and then having to reset it every time there is an update. The Kemper does not have this problem. Nor does a real amp!

[@Slicklickz]

Ares 2 is final firmware, I'm actually relieved to never have to retweak my patches.Ares 2 plus York IRs is an amazing combo.
