EVH® 5150™ OVERDRIVE

$229.99Reference price

An overdrive created in collaboration between Eddie Van Halen and MXR, putting the sound of the EVH 5150 amp into a pedal. Multiple MOSFET stages produce tube-like distortion, shaped with a BASS/MID/TREBLE 3-band EQ. A BOOST switch increases gain and compression, and a built-in noise gate set with the GATE knob mutes noise at high gain.

An overdrive that packs the 5150 amp's distortion into a pedal

A model created in collaboration between Eddie Van Halen and MXR, putting the sound of the EVH 5150 amp into a pedal.

Amp-like distortion from multiple MOSFET stages

Multiple MOSFET stages produce tube-like overdrive, covering everything from classic Van Halen sounds to extreme distortion with the BOOST switch. Engaging BOOST increases gain and compression.

Noise gate and 3-band EQ

A built-in noise gate with a threshold set by the GATE knob mutes noise at high gain. The BASS/MID/TREBLE 3-band EQ shapes the tone alongside the gain.

  • EVH 5150 amp sound in pedal form
  • Tube-like distortion from multiple MOSFET stages
  • BOOST switch adds gain and compression
  • Built-in noise gate with adjustable threshold
