Want to get as close as possible to Mark Holcomb’s signature @Periphery guitar tone? In this video I walk through Seymour Duncan’s Alpha/Omega & Scarlet/Scourge pickup sets and A/B test them using nearly identical guitars. Includes riffs & tones from classic Periphery tracks: The Way The News Goes, Sentient Glow, & Omega. Forgot to mention in the video: nothing was changed in between takes for the two guitars–EQ, volume/tone knobs etc all in exactly the same position.
