The EVH 5150 Overdrive features multi-stage MOSFETs, a 3-band EQ, a
Boost switch, and a noise gate for a versatile range of OD and
distortion tones.
This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a
Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini
Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
The MXR® design team has
collaborated with Eddie Van Halen to deliver a full range of powerful
saturation and hyper-driven tones right at your feet. The resulting EVH
5150™ Overdrive joins hand-adjusted multi-stage MOSFETs with a full
complement of controls to deliver overdriven tube-like tones and
exceptional sonic flexibility through a wide variety of amps and speaker
cabinets.
Whether on stage or in the studio, the EVH 5150
Overdrive’s controls dial up the whole spectrum—from Eddie’s
groundbreaking early classic tones to the high gain, super-articulate
sound he uses today. Output and Gain controls set your volume and
distortion levels, while the 3-band passive tone stack EQ section shapes
your sound to taste. The Boost switch kicks the 5150 Overdrive into
high gear with extra gain and compression, and the Gate control—powered
by the Smart Gate® circuit—tames unwanted noise.
The EVH 5150 Overdrive features true bypass switching and comes in a road-worthy housing emblazoned with custom EVH artwork.
