After working with engineers at Mojotone, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson is putting his name on an exact replica of the custom amplifier used in his guitar rig.
Dubbed the Lerxst Omega, the amplifier was created by Mojotone based on a vintage Marshall amp Lifeson used in the studio while recording the band’s latest album, “Clockwork Angels.”
With select modifications made to the circuitry and an overwhelming attention to aesthetic detail, this 25/50 watt amp is a marvel in the world of modern sound amplification. And for a guitarist like Alex, who has one of the most distinctive and recognizable tones in rock music, the Lerxst has to live up to a high level of expectation.
“It sounds so good!” stated Lifeson, moments after receiving the very first build of his new signature amp.
Mojotone – in direct partnership with Alex Lifeson – will produce the all hand-wired Lerxst Omega amp and matching Celestion G-12M loaded Tall 4×12 speaker cabinet.
The amp and cabinet will be available via Lerxstamps.com.
Rush will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 18 at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live.
The band resumes its Clockwork Angels Tour on April 23 in Austin, TX.
