MXR EVH Modern High Gain

Product details

Years of collaboration between MXR and Eddie Van Halen have resulted in a slew of fantastic offerings for players everywhere, but one element has been missing until now. The MXR EVH Modern High Gain Pedal unleashes the highest gain settings possible from Eddie’s own 5150III amps and directs it into this monstrous-sounding distortion box. You get the same highly responsive channel controls with a wide-sweeping 3-band EQ, a Bass shift switch to set your voice between a thicker bottom end or a tighter performance, and more than enough gain on tap to send your tone into complete sonic meltdown. If you still crave even more saturation, the Boost switch delivers the heat — enough to reach new heights of sustain. Die-hard high-gain aficionados here at Sweetwater make great use of the Modern High Gain Pedal’s Gate control, citing its ability to quickly eliminate extraneous noise, leading to cleaner, tighter chugging. All in all, the EVH Modern High Gain Pedal injects time-honored distortion into your rig that will light any amp on fire.
