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.

“I’m playing Taylor acoustics. My favourite one right now is a 914CE. It’s just a great-sounding guitar. Very expensive guitar! [Laughs] The acoustic costs a lot more than the electric guitars. But I mean, you get what you pay for, and they are just such great-sounding guitars. I’ve got a few different ones. The acoustic costs a lot more than the electric guitars! I also have Jeremy, my guitar tech, sitting in on a couple of songs because some of the layering I did in the studio I wanted to reproduce it live, and he is a great player, a great singer as well, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to incorporate him with mostly the acoustic stuff we are doing. I’ll get him up onstage and he will play on The Sound Of Silence, A Reason To Fight, Hold On To Memories, and then there are couple more in our arsenal that, if we dig them out, we’ll give him a chance to play. It frees me up, too, because I wrote those parts in the studio, developing these songs, and there is this cool layering, and it’s a little different. With the acoustic, I definitely want to hear those parts because they are very complementary with what they are doing. A song like Hold On To Memories, I have an acoustic guitar solo in there. I put some harmonies within that solo and I don’t want them to be missing live. It was good to have Jeremy at our disposal to use him for that part of the performance. He’s got his hands full! I’m throwing a lot on his plate but he loves it.”
