A deeper look into Alex Lifeson’s amp history
A quick look into the amps offered in the TONEX Alex Lifeson Legacy Signature Collection reveals a certain insight into Alex’s mind when he optioned these amps — they’re often found on the amp road less traveled, not cited by other, more conventional players. For his ’80s-era tone, Alex optioned the Marshall Club and Country combo as the basis for such hits as “Tom Sawyer” and “Freewill.” Moving toward the ’90s, Alex was a big fan of the Marshall 6100 30th Anniversary head with a matching Vintage 30 cabinet. The late ’90s and 2000s saw a shift to German amplifier company Hughes & Kettner; the brand’s flagship TriAmp gave subsequent Rush records a bump in guitar-driven authority. This collection culminates with his signature Lerxst Omega rig, offering a throwback to British-style guitar expression. Seeing these often-overlooked amps together in a single package is exciting for Sweetwater guitarists who enjoy tapping into the sonic diversity of these underdog amps.
