The MXR team has partnered with Eddie Van Halen to deliver a full range of powerful saturation and hyper-overdrive sound.
The EVH 5150™ combines hand-tuned MOSFETs with a full set of controls to deliver a tube-like sounding overdrive and exceptional sonic flexibility through a wide range of amplifiers and speaker cabinets.
The EVH 5150 Overdrive covers the whole spectrum - from Eddie's pioneering early classic sounds to the high gain super-articulate sounds he uses today.
Output and Gain controls set your volume and distortion levels. 3-band passive EQ shapes your tone. The Boost switch provides extra gain and compression and the phenomenal Gate button - which uses Smart Gates® circuitry - reduces unwanted noise. The EVH 5150 Overdrive has true bypass.
