5 Amp + Cab Tone Models

Modeled for the first time in TONEX, this rare and unique combo amplifier was the key to Alex discovering his voice on guitar. Boasting a distinctive ‘clean-yet-dirty’ sound that pairs wonderfully with delay and modulation effects and an airy, open tone from the modeled open-back cabinet, this is THE sound of “Moving Pictures” and a fresh flavor of classic ‘British’ tone.

10 Amp + Cab Tone Models

One of the most versatile amp designs yet produced, ‘Curly’ played an essential role in providing Alex with every era of ‘British’ guitar tone on stage and in the studio. From his roots in British blues and early rock players to the massive arena rock and metal tones he defined for himself, Alex relied on ‘Curly,’ leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of epic rock guitar sounds.

5 Amp + Cab Tone Models

These Tone Models are based on one of Alex’s first signature amplifiers, the backbone of Rush guitar tones from the late 1990s through the early 2000s, offering a smooth, modern flavor of gain. This amp is the ideal ‘Swiss army knife’ problem-solver in any dense guitar mix, effortlessly tweakable with sounds ranging from crystalline cleans to massive, almost hi-fi distorted tones.

5 Amp + Cab Tone Models

The culmination of a 5-decade tone journey, the LERXST OMEGA is Alex’s current signature amplifier and is a perfect sonic replica of the amps used on Rush’s “Clockwork Angels” album. With a straightforward 2-channel design with switchable clipping modes, the LERXST OMEGA combines the best of all his previous favorites into one inspiring amp.

These Lifeson Tone Models capture every nuance of what makes the OMEGA great: a gutsy, clean sound; a roaring classic rock rhythm tone; a smooth, high-gain lead tone; and massive tonal depth and detail provided by modeled captures of the LERXST oversized 4x12. It’s everything you need to explore the next frontier of rock guitar.
