Notes

Studio recording, 2023. Misha Mansoor used the Juggernaut HT6 with Bare Knuckle Ragnarok pickups for nearly all parts on Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre, including 'Zero'. Axe-Fx was used for amp modeling and effects. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical Periphery studio workflow. No evidence of traditional tube amp or cab miking for this track.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Zero' requires advanced palm muting, precise right-hand control, and tight synchronization with complex rhythms, making it highly challenging even for experienced players.
