because its sophomoric simplistic playing

I've noticed the Orange cabs also have a lot to contribute to the sound. the cabs are deeper.

You can tell James loves blues and jazz. Almost every guitar demo you see on you tube he's demonstrating his spectrum of music. Very talented

Not only do I love him as a player , and just a cool individual, Orange amps just have a certain "Twang" about them that ive always liked!!! Stoner rock/Blues have always been my fav style of music, and the Orange just has a smidge of fuzz, and distortion that is perfect for me!!!!

Mick and Jim are so great together they have the 2 styles that are most guaranteed for success Mick has a strick well grounded well knowledged music theory style matter of fact the guy was a guitar teacher before slipknot got famous and Jim has a laid back but extremely creative style a lot like Hendrix or slash I'm sure these guys argue a lot on how they want their guitar parts I'd love to see it lol Mick would be talking all fancy music theory stuff he'd be like "no no no the major 7th doesn't fit with the minor diminished 3rd" and Jim would be all like "hey just relax man it sounds cool" hey Sid you wanna go set in my car and smoke a joint?

[@guitaristssuck8979]

Ryan Beasley a "minor 3rd diminished" doesn't exist, it's just minor

[@visionx272]

Forget the Overdrive, the clean channel is gorgeous. A good match for that fender Jazz tone.

[@Will-cd1tl]

Quite possibly the most interesting dude in the whole band.

[@MsDelfas]

The riff from killpop sounds amazing

[@D-Ross86]

I have a orange micro dark 20w tube and the mini 8 black cab for it. It's sounds amazing with my PRS standard 24. I also have Glen Hughes limited orange crush 50 bass amp. That also is an amazing amp. The sound that come out of orange is so solid and awesome.

Thankfully modelling technology has developed so much...these awesome tones are now accessible. I wish Orange will come up with a 20W two channel full EQ lunch box amp

[@sid35gb]

Orange 🍊 is kinda old school so to get what you want you could go micro dark put an eq pedal in your chain wind the amp up to get the dirty tone you like then roll off the volume on your guitar 🎸 to clean it up. There’s your 20 watt setup with eq and 2 channels😉

[@JonMurray]

Did you give him a shot of one for the gig??? 😄

[@jackalfox332]

I'm surprised Jim prefers (seems to) the Rockerverb MKIII over the Dual Dark series for Slipknot. The Dual Darks are much darker and heavier, although they're the same gain stage, albeit the Darks have a four gain stage on the clean channel too... Just thought for Slipknot the Darks would be the choice. Rockerverbs are absolutely fantastic though.

[@davidrabbit8868]
