"Some of the pedals that have made it onto the album so far... #peripheryiii @mxr @catalinbread @carolinegco @darkglasselectronics @seymourduncanpickups @protonepedals @mrblackpedals @tcelectronic @neunaberaudio @earthquakerdev @strymonengineering #freethetone"

Q: Hi Misha, what string gauge would you recommend for a 26.5" 7-string in drop Ab tuning? Specifically on the low Ab. Have you been able to achieve it with non custom sets? Otherwise, any recommendation for string brand? (I'm an EXL/NYXL fan myself).

A: I'm currently using a 10-52 + 64 Daddario NYXL set and loving it! That's what we used on PIII as well!

In the video, Nolly can be seen playing "Marigold" through the Darkglass Microtubes 900 Bass Head

For Periphery 3, Nolly used the Fabfilter Saturn to act as the distortion stage in his bass tone. Nolly commonly builds his entire bass tone in 'the box' (DAW) and utilises EQ, compression, distortion and bass cab impulse responses to build his tone, all before moving onto making it fit into his mix.

His settings will typically be the following: Band 1 (0Hz-275Hz) - Bypass Band 2 (275Hz-20KHz) - Heavy Saturation - Mix at 80% - Feedback / Frequency at 0% - Dynamics at 50% - Drive at 75% - Tone left flat - Level at 0dB (no boost or cut)

Nolly can be seen here using the trusty Sennheiser HD 650 open back headphones.

In this video, Nolly can be seen demoing the Alpha Omega by Darkglass. Although this unit isnt the primary source of Nolly's bass tone, it can be heard as part of the drive sound used in 'Absolomb' by Periphery, and possibly other tracks too.

Jake Bowen of Periphery designed a 7-string guitar with Ibanez Guitars (JBM 27) in early 2016, and it used in Periphery's latest record "Periphery III - Select Difficulty". It features Mahogany body, Maple top, Wizard II-7 3pc Maple neck, Bound Rosewood fretboard w/JBM special inlay on 12th fret, Ibanez Edge-Zero II-7 tremolo bridge, and his signature DiMarzio® Titan™ (H) neck & bridge pickups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDXTJG4I0U4
