Was just reading up on these and the By-Tor pedal yesterday. Didn’t realize they did a new run/line on the Omega/Chi amps. I predict the next pedal will be chorus/flange

I’d say that would be a safe bet

While you’re joking, the “rack years” tones are the hardest Lifeson tones to get. It was compressed, super processed and deeply chorused by high end rack chorus. Many “purists” might say it was his worst tone, but it went great with the synths and songs of that era! But it’s tough to even approach without a refrigerator sized rack of gear.

So if I buy one of these I'll sound like Mr. Page in a live situation?

For now I will stick with my Hiwatt Jimmy Page amp head.

Sometime around 1987 when I played bass, I was jamming with some friends and the guitar player had a HIWATT half stack. This guy was one of the best guitar players I've ever heard anywhere and his tone was fabulous. One day he showed me what his amp was capable of and he cranked it. It was devestating!! Of what I recall it was clean with very little breakup but it could have knocked walls down. Amazing tone.

Most definitely! I use on my Kemper the Big Hairy Profiles Gallien-Krueger GK250 profile pack with some dialed in Lifeson tones from the Power Windows era and they sound pretty darn good (to my damaged ears anyway). I tend to use BHP profiles the majority of the time.
