Geddy used a QX1 on Power Windows tour and a pair of them on Hold Your Fire tour.

S770 samplers we’re used on Roll the Bones tour.

Geddy Lee uses the Fairchild 670 Compressor-Limiter, as confirmed by Richard Chycki during the recording of Rush's "Caravan." Chycki stated, "The fourth and last channel is what we call the ‘stun channel’. This is an Orange AD200 MKIII 200‑Watt bass head that’s cranked to the hilt and going through an 8x10 cabinet. This is miked up with a Sennheiser 421, through a Neve 1073 and into the other side of the Fairchild 670." This information was provided by Sound On Sound.

According to Eric Hansen in the article "The Recording Techniques Behind Snakes & Arrows" from EQ, September 2007, Geddy Lee's signal chain included the use of Universal Audio Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifiers.
