Jim James' Amplifiers
In the source photo, Jim James' 3 Monkeys The Orangutan amp head can be seen behind him. He talks about his amp setup:
I have finally found an amp I love both on the road and in the studio— the 3 Monkeys Orangutan. It is unreal how versatile this amp sounds. It can truly do everything. I feel like I’m doing a product endorsement right now... But I’m really being serious. The amp sounds amazing and it looks beautiful, too—like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey or something. God bless that amp.
The image is from 3monkeysamps.com. The amp makes another appearance in 2021 Premier Guitar interview.
Seen here with his Mesa Boogie and cabinet.
