The MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive is a collaboration between the MXR design team and legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, delivering a full range of powerful saturation and hyper-driven tones right at your feet. This overdrive pedal combines hand-adjusted multi-stage MOSFETs with a versatile set of controls, allowing you to achieve overdriven tube-like tones and exceptional sonic flexibility with various amps and speaker cabinets.

The controls on the EVH 5150 Overdrive are designed to cover the entire spectrum of Eddie Van Halen's iconic tones, from his groundbreaking early classic sounds to the high-gain, super-articulate tones he later used. The Output and Gain controls allow you to set your desired volume and distortion levels, while the 3-band passive tone stack EQ section enables you to shape your sound according to your preferences.

The Boost switch on the pedal kicks the 5150 Overdrive into high gear, providing extra gain and compression for added intensity. Additionally, the pedal features a Gate control, powered by the Smart Gate® circuit, which helps tame unwanted noise and ensure a cleaner signal.

With true bypass switching, the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive ensures that your signal remains unaltered when the pedal is disengaged. The pedal comes in a sturdy road-worthy housing adorned with custom EVH artwork, making it not only sonically powerful but visually appealing as well.

Whether you're playing on stage or recording in the studio, the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive is a versatile and potent tool for crafting a wide range of overdrive and distortion tones, making it a perfect addition to any guitarist's pedalboard.
