Periphery guitarist talks gear

Periphery guitarist Misha ‘Bulb’ Mansoor, writing in one his regular blogs on Metalsucks.net has opened up and discussed certain elements of his musical gear.

Fresh off a recent tour down under with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Maylene & the Sons of Disaster, Mansoor talks about what musical equipment is effective for his playing style and subsequent sound.

“If any of you guys know me, you know that I have a permanent hard-on for my Fractal AxeFx Ultra,” the Periphery guitarist writes.

“We just did a little tour in Australia with Dillinger and Maylene, and on that tour we were getting amps from backline companies. So we figured the best way to get some consistency would be to plug our AxeFxs into the effects loop return of the amps and use them for their tube power sections.”

Mansoor goes on to elaborate about various live performance preferences in regards to gear. Periphery released their self-titled debut album earlier this year.
