In this photo, which was posted on Donegan's Twitter account, the Fractal Axe-Fx II can be seen in his rig. He talks about it in Music Radar interview.

I also have the Axe-Fx, the Fractal. I’m using the Fractal II, mostly just the effects out of it. I mean there are some great things in there. [Whispering] There is probably a D rig as well! [Laughs] There is one that’s just a Fractal rack for fly dates - if we ran and did a last-minute radio performance or a festival on the other side of the country that we couldn’t ship everything to, then that’s easier to do. I had one rig with the Kemper, which was the C rig, and the Fractal I have at home. I’ve had it since 2012. I’ll play through that every now and then at my house. I know a lot of guys who have switched it and made [the Fractal] their main rig just because of the space. The rig we have here takes up so much truck space. It’s a lot.

All my switches can be programmed to happen whenever they are supposed to happen. It’ll switch it. It’s communicating with Mike [Wengren], my drummer, because he’ll play to a kick and it’s communicating through his rig. I’ll tell my pedalboard what to do; I’ll sit there with Jeremy and say, ‘Hey, I have a guitar solo coming here, I might want a little delay, a little reverb, or a little more overdrive’. We’ll program it so that mid-song it just switches the pedals via MIDI. Which is great, because when we are playing those big festivals and we are on those big stages, I don’t have to run to the pedalboard to meet my cue. It can be a lot of tapdancing if you have a lot going on.
