Rush – Test for Echo (2004 Remaster)

For Test for Echo, Lifeson used a 2101 in conjunction with a combination of Marshall heads to bind everything together. He mentions that "The important thing with that is to use it through a good speaker simulator, like the Palmer. The compensated outputs on the 2101 don’t quite do it for me, but through the Palmer it has nice body and width."

For Test for Echo, Lifeson used the Acousticaster, saying "In the choruses I used a Godin Acousti-Caster, which has a really interesting sound that is at the same time almost acoustic but definitely electric."

old clip from 1977 talks about it at 1:00 as his original guitar https://rushvault.com/2013/01/19/rare-1977-video-alex-and-his-guitars/

In this article by Reverb, it is explained that Alex used JCM 900 Dual Reverbs on " Counterparts" and " Tests For Echo" albums.

" The solid-state amps would stick around for the one-two pop punch of Presto and Roll the Bones before Marshall amps were reintroduced in the form of the gain-happy JCM900 Dual Reverb on Counterparts and Test For Echo. The band’s huge sound would be heard on the drop-D tuned “Stick It Out” and the furious driving chords of “Time and Motion.""

Neil Peart is listed as using the Zildjian 18" A Medium Crash cymbal on his Test for Echo drum kit, as documented by Andrewolson.
