Re: Jim Root Dark Terror Cab

Realise this thread isn't exactly catch-o-the-day fresh anymore, but here are my two cents. Oh, and please note that I'm not trying to sh*t on Orange. This is just MY experience with this particular piece of gear. I used to own a JR Terror. Ran it through a PPC412. Could never get it to sound the wa...

Re: Jim Root FX LOOP problem

Try contact cleaner in the jacks. I had really weird issues with my JRT and that sorted it out.

Re: Jim Root Terror malfunction

Ok, since there's nothing more frustrating than googling for solutions to a problem, finding a thread on the same topic and OP never reporting on the solution, I figured I'll file a report (yes, I know, I'm a Saint. Jesus ain't got sh*t on me). FX loop had dirty jacks that prevented them from switch...

Re: Jim Root Terror malfunction

Might've sussed it out thanks to a friend today, coud be a faulty switching jack in the FX return loop. Opened the amp up and ALL jacks in the whole thing looked dirty and nasty. Will be replacing all of them as well as both output tubes. Maybe one preamp tube as well, as it does reproduce some clic...

Re: Jim Root Terror malfunction

Have no spare tubes, never needed them. But I guess I'd start with swapping the at7 and then move on to the el84s.

Re: Jim Root Terror malfunction

Does it work with just a true-bypass pedal in bypass mode in the loop? It does. Also works with a buffered. I've tried one TB, one buffered and even one TS clone (which I don't know if it's BB or TB). Even then, there isn't much high end in the amp. It works alright in standard tuning, but low tune...

Jim Root Terror malfunction

I picked up a used JR Terror the other day and there something wonky with it. It works fine as long as it has a pedal - any pedal - in the loop. Pedal doesn't even have to be turned on, it just has to be there. Plug straight into front of amp with the loop empty and theres a loud, reverby hiss comin...
