MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive – Eddie Van Halen Modern High Gain Guitar Pedal

Unleash unapologetic, arena-ready gain with the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive, designed in direct collaboration with Eddie Van Halen to deliver his modern high-gain sound in its most raw and uncompromising form.

Built to capture the aggressive bite, clarity, and authority of EVH’s legendary tone, this pedal offers massive saturation without sacrificing note definition. The Output and Gain controls let you balance crushing drive with articulate clarity, while the Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ provides precise tone shaping for any amp or rig.

A dedicated Boost switch pushes your gain into full-throttle territory for searing leads, while the 55Hz / 80Hz low-end switch lets you choose between a tight, punchy response or a thicker, heavier foundation. To keep everything tight at extreme gain levels, the built-in Noise Gate clamps down unwanted noise without killing sustain.

From modern metal to classic EVH-inspired rock tones, the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive is a high-gain powerhouse built for players who demand control, clarity, and crushing tone.
