Mojotone Alex Lifeson Lerxst

[Drinkingdeath01]

Seems cool but pricey for a 50 watt Jubilee.
Your thoughts ?

Well, your paying extra just because it’s a signature amp. I wonder how different it sounds compared to a real stock Jubilee amp?

No Marshall iron - No Marshall amp. Still, it's a cool looking amp!

 

[Midnight Blues]

How does this differ from the original Lerxst amp that was released a while back?

 

[Drinkingdeath01]

Not sure if or how it was tweaked but here's another article about it.

Funny, I just went looking for an old article too!:

I seem to recall that they had something similar to a "Go Fund Me" page when they were originally building these?

 

[Drinkingdeath01]

I must rethink my pricey comment. Hand wired in the US for $3500 isn't bad at all. Now that its got full production I'm curious about how it sounds.

 

[Midnight Blues]

Yeah, I think that's about right. Don't forget, they're signed by Alex as well, so that'll tack-on a few more $ too.

Only watched Alex demo the Lerxst this morning on the tube. Decent looking....not in the market dor anything, but keen on listening to a bit more on Lerxst.

Love this guy to death, a great guy and a great guitar player but I think he blows with the wind in regards to amps he endorses whoever is willing to pay him the most, look no further his early videos of him his tone came from a Marshall and it sounded great.

Nothing like a little morning RUSH! Pre-Peart Bandstand at that, sounds great.

I was looking at it on Sweetwater and right next to it was a Friedman BE 50 Deluxe, for the same price. No contest. I watched the videos on both and the Friedman is night and day over the Lerxst.
By the way, “Lerxst” is Lifeson’s nickname.

Solid fact.His small box days oozed tone.You should get a discount for the really bad name.Hard to say Lerxst.

I wonder how it compares to the hand-wired Ceriatone?

I was playing my 2550 this afternoon... What an awesome amp! Not only are no pedals needed, they're almost an insult to stock tone. The UK made G12T's are the best sounding speakers I've ever played with a Marshall. Love em'!
