On Orange's page, the Jim Root signature Terror head with description and historty is displayed. While Jim has attempted to use this in studio, he has described the amplifier as not having as much headroom as the rockerverb series. As such, he has left this as simply a low-wattage version of his settings on a Rockerverb MK II.
