Recording notes

From Periphery III: Select Difficulty (2016). Periphery III: Select Difficulty is the fifth studio album by American progressive metal band Periphery. The album version runs 7:47. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT6 through Fractal Audio Axe-FX III with Horizon Devices Precision Drive, the nearest rig to the one documented for Periphery, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in a custom tuning (A G C F A D, low to high).

  1. What guitar did Periphery use on "Lune"?

    The guitar on "Lune" (released 2016) isn't documented; the Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT6 above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Custom tuning, so retune before you dial anything in.

    Settings for this sound: Gain 8, Bass 5.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 7, Presence 6.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.

  3. Can I play "Lune" without the original gear?

    Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Lune" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.

    Whether you own those exact units or close substitutes, ToneMirror maps the pedal voicings onto the pedalboard you actually have.
