We’ve written before about the cuts-to-the-bone tone it’s possible to get with Slipknot guitarist Jim Root’s signature gear: his black and white Squier Tele’s (white model pictured, just £309 each with free delivery), his Orange #4 PPC212 cab and his signature Terror head.

 

But we wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t believe us. After all, surely no mere mortal can re-create riffs like Surfacing or Purity without the backing of six other musicians and a clown beating himself up onstage?

Well actually…YouTube guitar gear reviewer Fluff proves you can achieve a powerful metal sound with a very simple setup thanks to the Jim Root head.

 Orange themselves say of the video:

“He absolutely nails the core tone. You start to get the feeling that this might the THE ‘lunchbox amp’ for hard rock and metal. Considering that was our goal when we created it, this review is a welcomed tribute”.

And if that’s not enough, Fluff (@Guitarist_Facts on Twitter) also offers a complete playthrough with the amp so you can see how versatile it is and exactly what settings he uses for everything from clean strumming to crushingly overdriven riffage.

If you like what you see, Dolphin offers an all-in-one Slipknot fan package of guitar, head and cab for £1,124. (Jester mask not included, unfortunately).
