Am I like the only guy who likes his unique style of playing. He is known for his legato playing & improvisation. He is Jim Root, the guitarist in Slipknot & Stone Sour!!! I love his gear. He uses Orange 100W Rockerverb heads into an Orange 412 loaded with Celestion Vintage 30's. Lately he has been using Gibson Flying V's with EMG 81 & 60's in them. For effects he uses a Dunlop Rotovibe, a Dunlop Rackmounted Wah, a EHX Nano Small Stone Phaser, 2 MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay, a EHX POG, a Boss NS-2 noise suppresor and a MXR Custom Shop Compressor. For guitars he has been using his signature Fender Jim Root Telecasters & Stratocasters. But Fender have recently made him a Jazzmaster with his signature specs which are: mahogany body, maple neck, EMG 81(bridge) & 60(neck), 22 frets, 3 way selector & 1 volume knob oh and its a hardtail. He uses a GCX switching system for controling all of his effects.
I hope to hear from some other JIM ROOT Fans!!
