The Jim Root Lumberleaver 212 is an official DynIR from Jim Root, inspired by — and captured from — his trusted Peavey® 2×12 cabinet loaded with Celestion® Heritage 30 drivers. Favoured for its focused tone and detailed response, this cabinet featured prominently on Slipknot’s We Are Not Your Kind and The End, So Far albums — a staple in Root’s studio arsenal for shaping the band’s modern production sound.

Compact yet powerful, the Lumberleaver 212 delivers tight low-end control, rich harmonic mids, and a smooth, open top end ideal for complex layering and tracking. The Celestion® Heritage 30 drivers provide a refined evolution of the classic British voice — articulate, dynamic, and capable of balancing heavy rhythm depth with expressive lead clarity. Constructed from solid pine with a semi-open back, this cab achieves a natural balance between resonance and projection, making it equally suited to clean textures and saturated drive tones.

To capture the precise sonic character Root relies on in the studio, each microphone was handpicked by Jim himself. The eight-mic array — featuring the Beyerdynamic® M201, SE Electronics® RN17, Sennheiser® MD421, Shure® SM57, Neumann® U67 (Tube), AKG® C414 XLII, Coles® 4038, and Royer® R-121 — was chosen for its ability to recreate Root’s preferred mic chain with unmatched accuracy and depth.

Available individually or as part of The Jim Root Trinity, the Lumberleaver 212 DynIR captures the essence of Root’s studio sound — articulate, harmonically rich, and built for the demands of modern metal production.
