Hopefully they are great amps, but Lerxst is a bloody awful name.

Better than Pratt - the in-group nickname for Neil.

That website is awful, scaling wrong all over the place, scrolling is vomit inducing. His face is cut off on the main image at the top of the page.

Amps look ok, Though the logo is very corporate and the X makes one think of another person.

They probably sound good though.

Had no problems with the website but they are quite ugly amps. Takes a special skill to make a box look that unpleasant.

That website is a car crash, I gave up.

The website lived up to expectations set by previous posts.

Bootstrap and Django aren't hard to use.

Jesus.

I have to admit I find the whole artist signature of this or that etc all a bit ridiculous. One will never sound like them if one buys this stuff  

Maybe I’m getting old lol m. Albeit I’ve felt that way for most of my playing years tbh

I have to agree with @Modulus_Amps in that website is really bloody irritating. On an iPhone that is.

The sight works fine for me on android. You just have to keep scrolling down.

Yeah that is better than on my laptop.

That aside, is Alex Lifeson actually in a gigging band, and did he ever have a "tone" that anyone else ever wanted?

I'm not knocking him, Rush were amazing and his guitar sound was always appropriate to what they did, but I've always associated him more with a kind of rack tone than an amp tone, ie, quite distant-sounding and effect heavy.

All these negative comments, but has anyone actually "played" one.....

Of course not. That would be counterproductive

Well, you’re not on the “Tone Journey” with us!

I like the website. Viewing on a PC, the horizontal scrolling section that tells the story of Alex's development was very interesting.  

The website uses the whole screen, much better than many sites that are optimised for a phone, leaving the PC viewer with so much white space outside of a central column. I can see that it may not be ideal for phone viewing though. 

The amps and cabs look good to me, being a "spare room learner" I'm not their target, but I enjoyed having a look around the site.
