Rig Rundown - Periphery [2017]

[@adamcogan211]

This is the best rig rundown yet, Periphery are such cool and humble guys and the interviewer does an amazing job and actually does his research

[@ph0kused]

I love my vintage les pauls and my strats, i dont own any new age axes or amps, but i love this bands super modern approach - I was an instant fan when I watched their documentary 'remain indoors' - loved that whole thing.

[@NickSlipnir]

ph0kused this is how it should be man, you get your own sound and style and don’t run for the periphery or placethenameofthebandhere sound, even if it’s great or modern or whatever. I think it is the right way to make music

[@ph0kused]

now i own one :)

[@Jack-sk3we]

ph0kused nice dude! I know i’m late but I also have a strat and les paul for the diversity. I’ve had metal axes before (schecter, ibanez) but I always came back to my les paul. But lately i’ve been really into progressive metal so i’m thinking about an extended range guitar. Anyway, what did you get?

Periphery - The Band for Gear Nerds.

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

True.....but your head blown away with all their gear....admit it...they sound huge, brutal, complex, beautiful and very complete to be 3 guitarists a drummer, a bassist and a singer

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

and i think lots of people are Gear Nerds....if you had the money im sure you'll go and buy all the shit your favorite bands use live and in studio, i'll buy the limited edition Mark Holcomb PRS, Axe FX II, the fucking nuts PRS Archon 50 combo, Protone signature delay pedal if i had the money, obviously...gear is awesome...everyone loves high quality and weaked stuff...

[@Quetzalcoatl999]

Have you seen the god is an astronaut gear rundown?

[@J-MLindeMusic]

I guess my comment seemed a bit negative, which it wasn't meant to be, as the band is one of my favorites! (To be fair though, they also have quite many layers of synths and orchestration going on, so there's a bit more than just the players themselves.)

[@Quetzalcoatl999]

Nah, I didn't see it as negative and doubt other people will too. If you like hearing about gear Periphery are good to listen to. But, I'm not much into them for their gear now days, I think they've all sold their names too much(maybe not Jake so much) and it really is making Periphery into a business and who wants to listen to a billboard for gear sales. Every new bit of signature gear is hyped as the greatest thing ever but it really isn't all that different to what already been done a hundred times.

Noah McCoy He formally left earlier this year, wanting to focus on production, GGD and his marriage. He didn't tour for the album cycle as he got married after PIII was released if memory is correct.

[@spadorade]

Homie stole my comment from the last video

[@resist1581]

He's still going to help them record and they like bouncing ideas off him. He's not "IN" the band but hes also not really "OUT" of the band.

[@johnstitt2615]

I try to leave.....but they pull me back in....

[@Jasonweckard]

I wish that tone circuit concept was standard on more guitars.

[@hamwerd]

Jason Eckard Great point, I completely agree. That's a brilliant idea, not sure if it's done before...but, if not, Jackson hit on something big. I'm already wondering how I can make this work on my own.

[@haakman123]

Well, soldering is not to hard to learn, a soldering iron can be bought cheap, a push pull knob is also not expensive, and the modification is not to hard. If u don't know what to do, tell me what kind of guitar you have and I'll draw a schematic and write some instructions.

[@brodieondasidewalk]

Whenever Chris is hosting, you know it’s gonna be a good and informative video

[@BloomerzUK]

This is probably the best interview/rig talk I've ever seen with Periphery. Misha is really comfortable knowing he can nerd out and get excited about what he does. It's refreshing for an artist to really enjoy what they do. Keep up the good work :)

that strat style Jackson needs to be a signature model

it looks cool, and it sounds killer. not to mention its a different sound for a strat type guitar given the bare knuckles

Dang, I've been a Periphery fanboi for a few years now and I hadn't heard much of this behind the scenes stuff that they talked about. I didn't know Mark's PRS came about so organically. I was also really curious why Mrak went with the Aristides for the 7. Glad that was covered.

"900$ guitar shouldn't play this well", what am i missing 😂 i have never had a guitar more expensive than ~600$

[@justsomemincedgarlic]

Youre actually missing a good bit. I played a Gibson les paul studio for years and finally scraped together the cash for a custom shop les paul and they might as well be different models of guitars. Idk about other manufacturers, but with Gibson at least you get what you pay for up to the $3,500 price point.

[@soysauce9296]

Then you've never had a nice guitar. I was a cheap guitar snob for years, and then I finally took the plunge on a Jackson USA B7 and an Ibanez Prestige.

[@steveluth3139]

Actually the letters in Ibanez guitars stand for the names they used to have. AR = Artist, S = Sabre and RG = Roadstar Guitar. But because they made variants of them they decided to use letters only creating the SA series and later the RGA, RGD etc etc etc

[@t3hgir]

RG stands for Rock Guitar, after they made a cheaper non-signature version of the JEM. The Roadstar was a separate series I believe.

[@crummockiphail9720]

Eh. Times changes, people change. There's too much cool gear out there to just wall yourself off and stick to one thing, especially when you have the means to get all that cool gear too.

[@KyleKingGuitar]

This ^^

[@morbideddie]

They used to have rigs like this but I think the cost of touring with them was too high, plus with complex analog rigs you always run into reliability issues. I'm guessing their budget is increasing as they become more seasoned so it's easier to justify a more elaborate rig, even if only 5% of the audience will even hear the difference.

[@ezassegai4793]

I highly doubt they will move away from the fractal. He is literally using his peavy as a poweramp for the fractal lol

The first Jackson guitar Misha showed is the same body shape as my Ibanez RG with the headstock slightly different. Beautiful guitar!

[@dag221]

I'm always amazed that so many guitars are built out of basswood. I've worked a lot with it and it's sooooo soft I don't understand how it holds up. If you put a hardwood veneer on the top that would help but I can't imagine anyone veneering the back and honestly they must get the crap beat out of them. You could take a fingernail and press it down into basswood and leave a nick in it. I don't even understand how the screws on holding the tremolos on really stay in, it's that soft of a wood.

[@CloroxJelloShot]

PRS updated the SE seven string model. It's now the SVN and is an exact SE copy of Mark's seven, except for color.

Honestly ive never liked jacksons but that guitar looks great. I love the thicker body thats not just flat like a gibson so you get a gibson big body tone with a Schecter/Ltd comfortable form fitting cut. Looks like it would be a great sounding and playing guitar. Is the color my style? No, absolutely not but if somebody handed me that guitar and said its the only guitar ill ever get to play I dont think id loose sleep over it. With a natural finish i think I might have just seen my first Jackson that i really like.

[@SafelandingRecords]

35:08 what is this wizardry?!

[@eddyguizonde401]

using a bug of floating bridges as a feature. whether you have a strat with a vintage bridge or a new-fangled floyd rose, you've got springs in the back to compensate for the string tension. what happens when you bend a string on a floating bridge is you throw the total tension out of whack, in this case, you heighten the tension by bending, so the back springs pull less and the overall tuning lowers itself. that's why you can keep playing after breaking a string on a hard-tail guitar but not on a floyd. i think ibanez has started doing compensating bridges, but don't quote me on that. as soon as i figured out that floating bridges did that odd thing when bending or string-breaking, i went hardtail and never looked back.

[@JohnnySideburnsX]

Floating the bridge. I lOVE doing that on the 3rd fret, next string over(E)
