Periphery Megathread: Everything Periphery

[NSXTypeZero]

There's a good bit of bitching on the Periphery facebook page over the price of this pedal. Honestly, it seems to be par for the course in the boutique overdrive category.

Meh. Let them complain. If they can tell at all, Periphery and Misha in particular are what I'm sure we'd all affectionately call gear-heads, and I'd wager this item is up on par with all the tasty electronics they have.

And its worth remind critics that it's LIMITED EDITION and therefore, like signed custom vinyl releases that you can preorder for 50 bucks, which honestly arent 'worth the money' if you're looking at it just from a bottom line perspective... You're paying partially for exlusivity... In a few months, you wont be able to pay retail whether you'd like to or not, cause they'll be gone - So I think the complaining will naturally subside because of this soon anyway

Quite a few preorders have sold already so the price seems to be right.
Also, yeah its a handmade boutique pedal, the original Deadhorse is only 10 bucks cheaper I believe, and the price was raised because of the reworked switch, and limited nature of the pedal. It's well priced for what it is, and it kills as an overdrive.

Fuck, is that Stamper at the end of Icarus Lives? I always wondered whose brilliant voiceacting that was

 

[brutalwizard]

That pedal looks really neat. Hopefully they keep the design for newer deadhorse models, so I can afford one new one day.

 

[berzerkergang]

Id like to get one of these or just the original deadhorse. Is there really THAT much difference between them apart from the switch? I saw Merrow demoing one on youtube, seemed pretty crushing on its own really. Could Misha explain the specific differences between the pedal being that it's around 60 bucks more than the regular model can be found for around the net. Thanks ahead of time.

The clipping switch on the original pedal is a very subtle change in sound, so much so that to me it didn't really matter what position it was in. However I figured a mid boost/low cut switch would be much more "usable" for the context that I use the pedal in. So that is the main difference, well, that and the limited quantities haha.

Who did the outro to Icarus Lives on the debut?

If you're talking about Ragtime Dandies, that'd be Bob Proctor.

Hey guys, I found out today that Matt Halpern is giving drum lessons on his European tour, and since I'm going to the show in Wiesbaden on the 5th, I really wanted to check it out. Has anybody been to one of his lessons? If so, what did you do, what was it like?

For those wondering about how my signature pedal sounds and compares to the Pro Tone Deadhorse it is based off of:

And here is the link where you can get more info and preorder (while they are still available!): Pro Tone Pedals :urveyors of euphonious mayhem::

 

[TheBloodstained]

sweet mother of god that tone is bloody awesome!!!

I seriously need to spend some time with my rig and try to dial some new tones in! Everything I do sounds crap compared to your tone, Misha!

 

[squibble94]

Pedal sounds great! In other news, NSFW Ragtime Dandies! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6446045/RTD.mp3

Here it is used in a more traditional manner to overdrive a clean channel.

Just wanted to say I bought Periphery I/II on a whim since it was NATIONAL RECORD STORE DAY and they didn't have any of the stuff I went there looking for, and I'm pleasantly surprised by Periphery I. I guess everything I previously heard and didn't like was from II, I is loaded with memorable and catchy riffs and I like pretty much all of it. Besides that goddam announcer break.

I feel bad posting about a band when the members are posting on the same forum D:

They are sorta different, but if you dig I, I would say give II a fair shot by listening to it from start to finish. In my opinion, both albums are growers, but that's not to say you will like it for sure, however they were both written and arranged to be best enjoyed as an album.

 

[Tang]

I want Periphery and Extol to be on the same tour together.

Need it.

I still maintain the same level of need on this comment.

I think we would all be very stoked if that happened haha

What makes you say that? Just as someone who composed most of the stuff on I and a lot of it on II? Or maybe because of the longer song lengths like Racecar and all?

Both albums hit me really just right the first time listening to them but I do agree that certain tracks or sections on the album take some time to digest and really understand.

The thing I find interesting is that PI flows so much better as a whole album, despite the variety of songs. For some reason I had trouble listening to PII all the way through for the longest time. I think it just reaches a point of "information overload"
