Watch @ZachWish run the range of Rush riffage with this 30-watt, 6L6 combo built with Alex Lifeson's guiding hand.
Chi takes the growl and tone of the Omega and places it within a more compact form factor. The 30-watt amplifier is built around 6L6 tubes for excellent headroom and a clear, articulate sound and is available as both a smallbox head and a 1x12 combo amplifier. In keeping with its lineage, Chi also includes footswitchable clean and lead channels and a serial effects loop, making it equally versatile on stage or in the studio.
“I’ve used more amps than Dr. Frankenstein did when breathing life into his creature, but the Lerxst Chi is an awesome monster in its own right and one of the sweetest sounding amps I’ve ever heard,” said Lifeson. “All the great character of the Omega in a cool, compact package that you don’t have to be a seven-foot monster to carry around.”
Both amplifiers are also accompanied by a range of guitar cabinets in multiple speaker configurations, including 1x12, 2x12, and 4x12, ideal for any stage configuration or studio application. All amplifiers and cabinets are handcrafted to the highest standards with top quality components in Mojotone’s Burgaw, NC-based factory. The cabinets, head shells, and combo speaker cabinets are made of voidless baltic birch and finished with a striking race gray and red garnet levant Tolex finish for a lifetime of gigging and playing.

Couldn't have picked a better person to demo this. I've literally bought 4 amps after watching his reviews. Great job Zach!
Zach is doing the best amp reviews on UA-cam in my opinion. The Lerxst sounds amazing.
Somebody FINALLY did an A+ Demo of the Lerxst !!
That's because @ZachWish only does A+ work!
Probably because no one has bought one yet. Sounds pretty darn good , I would need to hear it in the room though to make judgment.
Love this amp. It's good to finally see a thorough demo.
Just received mine yesterday - WOW - right out of the box this is the best sounding amp I have played! Amazing clarity and biting crunch.
Sounds fantastic ! Nice job 🤘🏽
Amp sounds phenomenal
Been waiting for a demo of this thing
Been wondering what Zach was up to. Good job, his channel is one of my favorites 🙏
Zach, I have been watching your videos for a few years and I gotta say I’m very happy for your success! Great play and picks some of the coolest music. Congrats on the big time with premiere guitar!
Love it. On my wish list to pick up. Rush is one of my all time fav bands. Saw many tours and was at the very last concert at the Forum.
Sounds awesome! Thanks.
looks sick! major want.
Awesome review!
That is a great sounding little amp!
Awesome playing! Amp sounds amazing as well. I'm really considering getting one. You've inspired me to go play. Got a Friedman JJ Jr.
Stellar review
Love this!!!!!!!!
Love the green jazzmaster. Which model is that?
Great riffing 🤘!!
the amp does sound the dogs bollo674657 but remember its in a desk , the sound heard is perhaps a bit diffrent in its raw form - direct from its 1x12 cone. love that tone though ! i want one.
Absolute W
How good does that Tele sound through the Chi ! 😮
With Zach, you always get your ears pleased and learn about new songs that you wonder why you've never heard before.
Sounds nice, I’m lookin at Fillmore 50 aswell. I really like the mesa harmonics but this also has 6l6 top end that sounds good here
6:41 “Uh huhuhuhuh… uh huhuhuhuhuhh…”
So happy to see @zachwish getting the respect he deserves!
If you run out of room, I can store that amp for you.😊
Yeah! More Zach reviews!
Sounds a lot like Alex's H&K's to me, at least through my laptop.
wow, what is that clean riff?
im just non stop looking at that Jazzmaster. What model is that?
That Tele tone is ridiculous
Sounds great. Was that the Beavis and Butthead theme song at 6.41?
sure sounded like it!
Yes it was
@zachwish, what Jazzmaster is that? I've tried to look on my own lol
Price??
Price?
$1995
I always find it interesting when companies decide on marketing names that are so odd. Also noticed the name badge is already peeling up.
I saw that also
It looks like that could be the plastic film protector peeling up and not the actual badge. Probably left on as this was sent as a demo
Could be chineeeeeeeeeeee😅
*promo sm* 😆
nice! but I thought it was going to be Lifeson playing 😂
They're STUPID EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!... And his sound is NOT The ultimate guitar sound EVER!!!!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, it works perfectly for rush, but if that's not ALL that you're playing... WHY??????????
That’s a given.
It’s the lethal amount of post editing this guy does that’s not what you sign up for when you spend $4000, unless it’s his $4000 of course.
We have no idea what this sounds like,
that’s why he only played dial tone Rush stuff.
@@jaykafcas4342the Head version is only $1695 and the combo is $1995....
@@jaykafcas4342 ... Just give me a Vox AC 30!!!... Oh... wait... I have two already... 😸😺 Beats the crap out of my old hundred watt Marshall stack from the '70s, and anything else I've had before, or play through!!! A long while ago, I had it in the shop for a noise problem for a month, and ended up borrowing a hundred watt twin for 2 weeks and a hundred watt Marshall tube combo for 2 weeks... My old drummer Bob, may he rest in peace, had previously asked me why I bought a Vox... After hearing me playing through these other two amps, between songs in rehearsal one day, he looked up at me and said"... Man.. I hope your amp's done soon!!!" 😸
Is it overpriced? Probably. But I don’t think the only sound you can get out of a Marshall clone is Rush.
@@scottwilson940 You're absolutely right! It's just that a Marshall clone isn't really special, and a Marshall sound isn't really the best out there! Richie Blackmore actual used Vox AC 30s inside of hollowed out Marshalls when he played back in the day! Wish I had known that before I got my 100 watt Marshall stack🙀😿😾😸!!! I wanted to sound like Alvin Lee and Ritchie Blackmore! That was before I "met " Brian May!!! 😸!!!! Never knew why his guitar sounded so fat, lush and creamy... Of course, it's not just the amp, but... MAN, DOES IT HELP!!!!!!! I mean that my Marshall was great when I first got it, but as I progressed, the clean sound was... Well... Not impressive!!! And the older is got, the worse The distorted sound got!... At least, to my ears!!! It started to seem to harsh, and slightly brittle, and needed a lot of help to smooth it out!!! New tubes would help for a while, but truly, it was never actually ideal!!!!!!! Virtually everything sounds better through an AC30!!!!!!!!!!... EVEN RUSH!!! 😸!!!!
I don’t know man… I’m seeing a lot of amplifier emulators lately that are coming out to sound as good if not better than a lot of these signature tube amps that are coming out. I think the age of physical tube driven guitar equipment is pretty much over at this point.
Nah
They said the same thing about CD's replacing vinyl, now everyone wants vinyl again. Tube equipment may loose mass appeal for a while but, like everything else it will surely return with a vengeance. History proves this time and again.
@@Darth.Shredder all tubes that I have seen on the market are made in Russia. That’s not exactly good news for American musicians with tube amps if World War III kicks off.
@@shaunkellison1761 WWIII? lol Are you going to fill your basement with canned goods and powdered milk too? Tubes are not exclusively made in Russia. Sure, they make a lot of them but China makes just as many. Popular brands like JJ are made in Slovakia and Western Electric makes tubes here in the USA.
@@shaunkellison1761 Tubes are the last thing anyone is gonna worry about in that scenario. WWIII....This comment thread escalated wildly fast haha
Zach got a PG gig ... 🎵r0ck0n 🎵
Throw a little chorus on that Red Barchetta.
Great review!
