MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive & Analog Delay Pedal

The MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive is the perfect fusion of modern overdrive technology with the iconic tone of Eddie Van Halen. Designed in collaboration with Eddie himself, this pedal captures the legendary overdrive sound that shaped rock guitar for decades. The 5150 Overdrive provides you with high gain, creamy saturation, and that signature tone that guitarists crave.

At its core, the EVH 5150 Overdrive pedal delivers a broad spectrum of distortion sounds—ranging from subtle crunch to full-on high-gain metal tones—making it a versatile choice for rock, metal, and other aggressive guitar styles. The pedal’s simple, intuitive controls (including Bass, Mid, Treble, Output, and Gain) allow for precise tone shaping, so you can easily dial in your preferred settings.

A built-in Boost switch offers extra compression and gain for when you need an additional punch for solos or leads. The pedal also features a noise gate with an adjustable threshold, eliminating unwanted hum or feedback during high-gain situations. The pedal’s compact and durable design ensures it stands up to the rigors of both studio and stage environments.

This overdrive pedal uses MOSFET technology, which emulates the warm, organic clipping of tube amplifiers. With a range of tones that span from vintage overdrive to modern, aggressive distortion, the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive is a must-have for guitarists who want to achieve Eddie’s iconic sound.
