14 TONES INSPIRED BY THE THREE GUITARISTS OF PERIPHERY
Three guitarists. Three distinct approaches to tone. One complete modern progressive-metal pack.
Peripheral is a Fractal AXE-FX III preset pack built to capture the distinctive tonal identities of Misha Mansoor, Jake Bowen and Mark Holcomb.
Rather than treating the Periphery sound as one generic high-gain tone, the pack is divided into three dedicated presets — each exploring the rhythms, leads, cleans, crunches and ambient textures associated with a different guitarist.
From razor-tight extended-range rhythms to pristine cleans, huge ambient textures and fluid modern leads, Peripheral gives you 14 purpose-built scenes covering the full spectrum of contemporary progressive metal.
MISHA MANSOOR INSPIRED
1. Solid Rhythm
A tight, aggressive and bitey core rhythm tone inspired by Misha's signature modern-metal sound.
2. Lead as a Constant
An aggressive, wet lead tone with plenty of space and sustain for technical and melodic soloing.
3. Dying Star
An atmospheric crunch tone combining grit with lush spatial depth.
4. Blast Mansoor
A massive, heavily revoiced rhythm tone designed specifically for 7 and 8-string extended-range guitars.
5. Haunted Bulb
A raw, haunting backing tone inspired by the character of Misha's earlier Bulb-era sounds.
JAKE BOWEN INSPIRED
6. Milke Zake
An ultra-clean, focused lead tone with a precise and immediate response.
7. Crushing Rhythm
Saturated high gain with huge harmonic weight for massive modern rhythm guitars.
8. It's Only Jake!
A crystal-clear clean tone layered with pristine delays for spacious melodic passages.
9. Flat Rhythm
Transparent, polished and carefully balanced high gain designed for articulate modern riffing.
MARK HOLCOMB INSPIRED
10. Sentient Rhythm
A devastating high-gain backing tone optimized for 6-string drop tunings and Mark-style percussive riffing.
11. Wax Clean
An atmospheric clean built around a spacious cabinet-room character for wide, immersive textures.
12. Solcomb
A pristine modern solo tone using multi-delay processing for fluid sustain and dimension.
13. It's Only Crunch
Snappy, twangy and percussive crunch for intricate chord work and rhythmic playing.
14. Fragments
A smooth lower-gain lead drenched in rich multi-delay textures.
THREE PLAYERS. THREE TONAL IDENTITIES.
One of the defining elements of Periphery's guitar sound is the contrast between its three players.
Peripheral embraces those differences.
Misha-inspired scenes deliver tight aggression and extended-range power. Jake-inspired tones bring polished high gain, pristine cleans and focused leads. Mark-inspired scenes emphasize percussive attack, ambient textures and spacious multi-delay sounds.
Together, they give you a versatile toolkit for writing and playing modern progressive metal rather than just another single high-gain preset.
15 BONUS MIX-READY IRs
Peripheral also includes 15 bonus IRs from the Mix-Ready Modern Metal Vol. 2 collection.
The selection includes multiple Mesa-inspired, Marshall-inspired and other modern-metal cabinet mixes, giving you additional options for shaping the presets or building your own tones.
