Back in 2021 Geddy Lee in partnership with Tech 21 released a special MP40 SansAmp commemorating the 40th anniversary of Moving Pictures, and built on the bones of his YYZ Signature SansAmp. Earlier today Geddy revealed that he was releasing a special, charity edition of the SansAmp, as detailed in this Reverb.com article:

Geddy Lee and Tech 21 are back with something truly special-and quite personal. The Rush frontman has unveiled a limited run of his MP40 Signature SansAmp, now in a Special Charity Edition exclusively available on Reverb. Only 200 of these pedals are being made, and each one is personally signed by Geddy himself. ... this new edition features exclusive Moon Records-inspired artwork and a striking red enclosure. But what really sets this release apart is the cause behind it. A portion of the proceeds will go to two charities close to the band's heart, both honoring the legacy of Neil Peart. One supports the Neil Peart Memorial at Lakeside Park in St. Catharines, Ontario-Neil's hometown and the inspiration behind the song "Lakeside Park." The other is Cedars-Sinai's glioblastoma research program in Los Angeles, where Neil received treatment in the final years of his life. ...

To find out how to get one for yourself, go to reverb.com.
