He runs two signals, one driven to the pa and one clean.


yuk yuk yuk.


If I recall correctly Geddy goes direct to the PA. No amps. I remember seeing a show where he had like.... 7 rotisseries and a chef would periodically come out and baste them and whatnot.

It's to fill up the space left on his side of the stage.

Also, thanks for that amazingly awful joke Strongjag

they're actually dryers. they have t-shirts in them that they throw out to the crowd. they dryers keep the shirts warm. pretty cool idea for an outdoor venue if you ask me.

Does anyone know the make and model of the dryers Geddy uses? I think a couple in my signal chain would really improve my tone.

I noticed in one Rush video, that the dryers were coin-operated.

Geddy said they were for a "warm, dry, sound".

The Maytag guy has it pretty good to begin with...

When I saw Rush a year ago they had the Rotisserie set-up going. I was pretty far back in the stadium and it was hard to make out at first until I saw them on the overheads.

On Rush's old website(circa 2002-2004) they had the cartoon interview with Geddy Lee and a scottish terrier. It was funny but it's long gone now.
