MXR 5150 EVH Overdrive Pedal - Secondhand

Full Description

The Van Halen sound

It's legendary. Van Halen wasn't known for his country licks and soft jazz solos - he was a rocker. As such, it was only fitting that his signature overdrive pedal represents this. That's why this MOSFET-loaded, expertly crafted pedal delivers stunningly crushing overdrive, helping to spice up your riffs no end. You can use the three-band EQ to shape your core tone, whilst the Gain dial lets you decide how much dirt you want to add to the mix. The question isn't how much overdrive this pedal can give you, but rather, how much overdrive do you want?

More effects - the ultimate all-in-one

It doesn't stop at overdrive. Van Halen clearly wanted this pedal to cover every need of the modern-day musician. Therefore, there's a built-in noise gate, activated with the Gate button. This'll eliminate all unwanted noise, and ensure you have a crystal-clear sound at all times. There's also a Boost button, which will instantly add gain and compression to your sound, sending this pedal into an overdrive frenzy. Armed with these tools onstage, nothing will stop you from achieving the same level of tonal perfection as Van Halen himself.
